I was incredibly lucky on Wednesday. By just a few very, very tight centimeters I narrowly avoided a head-on collision with an oncoming car.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/08/trainingswoche-3-22-28-08-2011/Mon, 29 Aug 2011 13:46:10 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/08/trainingswoche-3-22-28-08-2011/...or life and training in Germany on Indian Standard Time... IST +3.5h — that was the offset I spent last week in. Meaning: very early mornings, work done just after lunch, and in bed by 7pm.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/08/trainingswoche-4-15-21-08-2011/Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:31:37 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/08/trainingswoche-4-15-21-08-2011/Monday: early morning shake-out swim to recover from the previous day's effort. Tuesday: 1h run with short pick-ups and an easy 1.5h bike session.

Tuesday: well recovered, out on the bike for 75 minutes in the morning; a brisk 1.5h run was planned for the evening — ended up a soggy affair thanks to a thunderstorm.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/trainingswoche-3-04-10-07-2011-2/Mon, 18 Jul 2011 09:15:39 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/trainingswoche-3-04-10-07-2011-2/The week kicked off on Monday with a well-deserved complete rest day, and Tuesday's 75-minute bike ride contributed nicely to recovery too. Wednesday brought one more longer brick session on the schedule.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/trainingswoche-3-04-10-07-2011/Sun, 10 Jul 2011 20:08:12 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/trainingswoche-3-04-10-07-2011/The last big training week before the Ironman started as always with a swim session on Monday morning — unfortunately not a great one, so I called it after 25 minutes. I had the body position of a brick, zero power, zero technique; there was no point grinding through it any longer.https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/trainingswoche-4-27-06-03-07-2011/Mon, 04 Jul 2011 19:04:26 +0000https://chrisgross.racing/archives/2011/07/trainingswoche-4-27-06-03-07-2011/It was supposed to be a rest week — and at least sports-wise, it was. 'Full capacity due to various external influences' is a much more accurate description though...
