Sunday morning all through this winter, has meant spending a looooong time on our turbo bikes, watching winter sports online to our TV, and when we got up this morning and saw frost on the garage roof and the top of the walls and thick fog filling our garden, we thought that was all we had going for us today.
We did get through the Men’s mass start 15km biathlon. Steve and I are together on lots of things but in the biathlon. I am a big fan of Norway whereas Steve is cheering on the French in the men’s and the Italians especially in the women races. The guy Steve had put his imaginary money on was Emilien Jacquelin but the poor guy had an absolute disaster when he missed all five on one of shoots that ended his bid, he looked distraught when he finally finished and Steve accused me of putting the mockers on him, which is untrue. On the other hand, my bet fell squarely on the bright young star Sturla Holm Laegreid, who completely smashed it, adding another World Championships Gold medal to his already heavy backpack, but for my added pleasure Johannes Dale also of Norway was 2nd. Quentin Fillon Maillet of France 3rd. Over two hours good workout for us.
Wonders will never cease, at the end of the biathlon, that was recorded from last weekend by the way, just for our next turbo session, the sun had come out, so to our already useful training workout we the then jumped on our bikes and headed out first ride out of the year that was pure joy. Four hours biking including a nice little thrash along the seafront and a quick chat with a friend that we had not seen in ages. That will do nicely, things are looking up.
A nice coffee in the garden with our little cat Birdy completed the morning when we got home.
March tomorrow!
