The journey has begun

Even though it start in the fall, today was a good day to remind me that the IM journey is such a joy!


Other key moments,


- after the Course des 4 châteaux, being in the storm, riding at a 45 deg angle against the lateral wind & rain
- getting poured down in the forest in the middle of the run
- daily toe freeze bite (- 6° deg this morning)
- major muscle soreness after 5 mn (run) conditionning
- riding under the falling snow (huge flakes) after a late swim work-out
- ride in the night through the forest to try to make in time to catch the Sales (nothing on sales!) (getting a little lost on the way back), still sub zero condition of course...


Today's momentS.
- This morning, 10 cm snow, - 6° deg.
  > riding to work was great, passing cars on flats (scared people) - I just love the faces when you fly by -, being on the edge of "slippage" on cobble stones in a roundabout.
  > RUNNING was too much fun. Making the track, being alone out there, pure joy! Again the faces of people in cars: look at that nut! : )


Didn't make me any faster, but I love challenging conditions! But I admit I'm getting tired of being in the cold... : )
