All is travelling beautifully here in the Basque Country. The weather is a little hit/miss at times but that would have to be the only complaint.
There are so many things to love about the place:
*Duathlons every weekend from late Feb to mid May all with decent Prize Money and tough/Fair courses
*Heaps of beautiful cycling terrain and a good 10k river running loop
*Heaps or pro and ex pro cyclists and triathletes to train with
*$2.40 AUD per coffee, which is a significant saving when you polish off 4 a day!
*Pintxo Tortillas- local bar snacks dirt cheap and heaps of energy
*Great Family atmosphere and heaps of playgrounds for the kids- Sebby is starting to learn Spanish!
*Athletes, especially cyclists, are well respected on the roads and around town. Here- cycling, duathlon, triathlon is a job like any other working class profession
*Cesar Ramos and the people of Gernika- Our host and evryone here are great folk
We have a local race tomorrow in Navarra that is in it's 13th edition and a tough climbing circuit on the bike. This week has been very hard training 100k+ running and 350k on the bike. The next two weeks will be very hard and then start to lighten up for European Championships. I am trying to get the weight down 1.5kg for the race so I can be running optimally.
