Looking ahead to the Trans Alpine Race!


Looking ahead to the Trans Alpine Race!

Ok, a year ago it was so easy to think this would be a good idea!

It's an 8 day stage race through the Alps, I'll be trying to keep up with my record setting sweetheart...

Here is the 50km first stage..

Running Statistics.

Running Statistics.

Yesterday was 44km with at least 830m of elevation gain, possibly as much as 1250m if you turn the altitude correction off ;-)

My legs are starting to show signs of wear after an epic month that is now averaging over 100km a week in distance and a total elevation gain of 12,000m!

I've had by Garmin forerunner 305 for a couple of years now. I have worn it sporadically for most of the time, although lately I have been more likely to wear it.

It now records my total distance run as 4,761 Km and I would guess this is missing at least 30% of the distance when I never bothered to wear the Garmin.

I'm also on 543 Hours of running, 62km of elevation gain and over 300,000 calories.

 FYI 300,000 calories earned me 857 full strength beers and 25kg of  80% dark Swiss chocolate ;-)

For the last year my distance run each week and elevation look like this...

I took a lot of photos yesterday, like everyone else I tried to capture the amazing scenery as we climbed up and over the ridge. I tried to set-up panoramic shots where possible and some of them turned out quite well, considering that I was using a cheap waterproof digital point and click and holding the camera in my hands..
