New Challenges for 2010

For next year, I have decided on my new challenges.

All are Road bike Races.

1. Tour-Transalp: Stage road race.

2. Complete the Dreilände Giro under 7 hours.

3. Maratona del Dolomites

4. Ötztaler Marathon

5. A few Time Trails, if I can find them.

Goals for my body

1.Bring my body weight to a stable 73 kilos.

2. Power clean, push press 95 kilos for 3 reps.

From this point on, all weight lifting exercises will be carried out with the goal of gaining strength without mass. To achieve this, I will lift

exclusively the Power Clean Push press, the squat and the deadlift. In all cases, no more that 3 repetitions/4-10 sets. This regime will prevent

any bulking up.

I also switched shoes. Previously, I was using Specialized road shoes and now I am running Mavic Pro Roads and Zxelliums:

They are not nearly as narrow as has been reported and I have had no problems so far.

My 3rd and last Mountain Bike Transalp

I finished this years mountain bike transalp, again, 6 kg heavier than when I started and swollen legs. Fortunately, 1 week afterwards, the swelling went away as did 4kgs. The race itself was nothing really special: a mix of the previous two transalps plus 3 new stages. In the end, unless one video tapes or takes copiuous pictures, all the stages blend  into one big trail. I decided on the 3rd day of the race that I would no longer ride Mountain Bikes as I am bored with the whole scene and need a new challenge. Actually, the last two years I only rode the Mountain bike about 20 times, 16 of which where during the transalp. 95% of the time I am riding the road bike. so………more later

Ready for The Dreiländer Giro

The DreiländerGiro is in two weeks and I am ready for Stilsferjoch and it´s 1800 meter single shot climb.
This years giro is around 165 km and 3300 meters of climbing. I have been pounding heavy gears on my new Argon Road bike and it has made a big difference in my climbing efficiency.

Here is the profile:

And here is a picture of the top: of Stilfserjoch (Passo di Stelvio):

” 25 Km Anstieg, 49 Kehren, 1800 Höhenmeter auf 2760m absolute Höhe.
Dagegen ist Alpe d’Huez ein Kinderspiel!”

6570 is roughly the number of eggs I have eaten over the last 3 years. I eat between 6 and 10 eggs every morning.
