A nice day weatherwise. Even a bit hot sitting in the sun waiting for the presentations. (No parking at the event centre so we had to ride up there and then a further 3 km uphill to the start. Didn’t occur to me to put a hat in the bag with the spare clothes. It’s been overcast the last few days.) but by the time we got back to the Thermal Baths (which might be ‘thermal’ in winter but not hot pools for summer) the wind was again a bit cool.
Anyway … Long race for W60+ (w70 riding the same courses as W60) that meant c.9.5 km but it took me 85 min which was long enough All courses had at ,east one very long leg the longer courses had 2 or 3.
how would you have gone 6-7? The smart money said to climb early but I was over climbing and looked to delay the inevitable climb so I was seduced by the big road through the middle.

My only competition is much faster than me but not so good navigationally. She beat me on every leg except 6-7-8 and overall only by 3 min so I was pretty pleased with that. But with her DNF yesterday, I won the 2 days overall. Bit weary tonight though.
I haven’t taken many photos of the town. Someone today said it’s very “Victorian” but of course being inAustria I guess that’s not right. Typical spa bath town though.
Off to Vienna tomorrow. Bike is packed away for a bit.
I feel weary for just reading about your events. Good on you!
