Im driving with Vanessa to Valencia for my first triathlon of 2012!!! an half ironman that promises to have a very competetive field. looking forward to it. Last weeks have been good for me, except that i still suffer from that small accident earlier in the year. my chest still burns like hell but again i have nothing to do other than wait for it to disappear. Other than that small important fact, i have been putting together some good workouts and with the small relief i had from the chest swimming was a more satisfying experience ;) so, not much to report, work, workouts, work, workouts and sleep/eat somewhere in the middle. this is defenetely a good test leading to australia....

January
It wasn't a very pleasant month...
Training wise i had all sorts of problems and for most part of the month i felt off. Getting sick at the end of last year after a photo shoot wasn't good and after this i felt inconstant during the weeks and some times very tired. To kill the month i had a unusual accident while running when someone opened the car door right in front of me leaving no reaction other than hitting hard, very hard right in the middle of the chest. I'm still suffering from this, with pain but i have no chance other than live through the pain. My swim was definitely affected when i was feeling really well and pool times going down but like i said i need to go through the pain and hopefully in a few weeks it will be fine. It has been the bike where i had the most problems while the run form is soso. BUT it will get better or at least to a more constant state ;)
the month totals are

The first "race" of the season
60 km MTB race with tons of climbing...
It was very close to Vanessas hometown so i really needed to make a good impression ;)
I cleaned the dust from my MTB bike that still had some leftovers of The Trans Portugal back in May and went for it.
The course was awesome and Super tough, i felt quite dizzy in the first kms with the always fast pace but i managed to lead the race till km 20 with another guy. at that time a misplaced signal sent the top 20 or so atheletes out of course and probably (me and the other guy) almost 10km where done out of the course. After returning to the spot, that had the signal already and since i really wanted to make it a hard training day i went like nothing happened. left that group and started hunting something that was basically the guy ahead, had no idea where i was classification wise. From 1:30h i really felt like flying and just one guy survived to my hunting skills by a scant 50 meteres ;)
It was a great days with a tremendous course, i was happy with legs
here is the top 30
