Summer in the city!

End of the weekend again and what a weekend! For weeks weather in Vienna has been grey all over: rainy, foggy, cloudy. Ugh! And on Friday, guess what, the sun came out!! My plan was to do some track intervalls, but that plan got changed pretty fast. I went out for a hard 10k and some running technique instead and I enjoyed so much running in the sun again!
Saturday morning sun was gone again, the rain showered down and even a temperatur of 5+ could not make it friendly. But, on the program was xc-skiing in St. Jacob and with the hope that weather would be better there (it couldn't get worse..)we jumped into the car and drove there.
Coming there St.Jacob didn't make a very friendly impression - rain all over. But, with good clothes and Red Aqua Klister under the skies we started off. And see there - within 10 minutes rain stopped and the snow and the slopes were all fine, even if not very fast because it got a bit soft. I could then do two good sessions and even teaching a friend of mine a bit of technique. We also came back to the starting point in time to watch one of the better sunset I've seen for a while. Perfect end of the day.
Today weather has been like in spring, more than 15°C and sunny. A bit windy, but in the forrest it was perfect. Everything smelling of spring! It made me long for real orienteering sessions again! There are a lot of small comptetions takeing place in and around Vienna at the moment, but I have decided not to join them. Yet. I have done some negative experiences with burning to much energy on these competitions before, so this year I will join them a bit later on.
Next week I have a week of rest and that will be the last easy week for a long time. All ready now I am really looking forward to the period coming, intensive training is what I like most!
