As I suspected that PT won't finish. He didn't made it to the end of the bike round. He told me on the phone that at km 70 he gave up as he wasn't able to operate brakes and gears anymore. He rode straight back to the hotel and showered with his clothes on for at least 30 minutes to get warm again. Poor little PT. He trained so much for this race and wasn't able to perform at all. I know that he would have been pretty good and got a place in the first third of the mens field. Now he says that he won't do triathlons anymore. Just running races. Too bad.
I did my bike round outside yesterday. But I did get wet a few times. My feet were like icecubes. But I'm proud that I was able to perform in a decent time even if the weather was so wet and cold. My physique isn't like PTs at all. I'm taller, with more fat and I love to race in colder conditions. I can't stand the heat. So, people are different. Thank God.
Today I'll run for the first time in two weeks. Only 5 minutes as a test, to see if my calf will function. I guess I can be lucky that the rupture healed that quick. The doc said healing would take 6 weeks at least. Good that my calf hasn't listen to that.
12 days to go until Norseman and 10 days until we'll fly to Oslo.
It's nearly time to begin packing my stuff. There are so many things I need for the race. Ordered a pair of calf-compression thingys. Best thing is that they come in pink. I guess I'll go into Norseman history as the "woman in pink", as my top is pink, my arm warmers are pink and now the calf compressions are pink as well. I love pink.
