It has become an annual event and aside from 2015 where I was ill, I&#8217;ve ridden in the 6 day tour every year since 2013. Over the last few years it has started with a time trial around the Ossiacher See but this year is different and the first stage was the Lokalrunde (120 km \/ 2200m). It&#8217;s the longest stage of the tour. Last year I had a pretty good ride on this stage as opposed to a previous year where I blew out big time. This year I returned to my previous form. It&#8217;s not that surprising for a number of reasons including less riding this year and that I usually suffer a bit on the first stage of the tour before my legs realise what they should be doing.<\/p>\n<p>I got to the start just late enough to end up in the D block. This meant that when the race started after the 10 km neutralised zone I spent the first hill and kms after that passing people. A bit of a waste of energy really. If I had been with people of my speed at the start, no passing would have been required and I could have got straight into the suffering. But it is, after all, the same procedure every year.<\/p>\n<p>It was quite cold on the course and the road was wet in parts but it never really rained. After the first big climb I cruised on the flat with a good bunch. The second climb went ok too. But the time we got to the final climb I was content with riding very slowly.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a nice finish. The finish line is in Feldkirchen and you ride a little bit through the town finishing with a climb on cobblestones to the square.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" class=\"wp-image-20375 alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190519_0751188769262680823368305.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190519_0751188769262680823368305.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190519_0751188769262680823368305-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190519_0751188769262680823368305-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190519_0751188769262680823368305-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190519_0751188769262680823368305-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190519_0751188769262680823368305-1010x1347.jpg 1010w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" class=\"wp-image-20376 alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190518_1518028650541733154878821.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190518_1518028650541733154878821.jpg 3000w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190518_1518028650541733154878821-113x150.jpg 113w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190518_1518028650541733154878821-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190518_1518028650541733154878821-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190518_1518028650541733154878821-640x853.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cris.lovell-smith.com\/trips\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/img_20190518_1518028650541733154878821-1010x1347.jpg 1010w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/2377212195\/embed\/974d6667f1de56000332248a2b28cd8c630b6fcf\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tour de K\u00e4rnten 2019 &#8211; Stage 1 &#8211; Lokalrunde<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Time: 04:30:18.1 \t\tDst: 120km\/2200m Place: 248, Cat: 103<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was the first day of the Tour de K\u00e4rnten for 2019.
