Stubaier Glacier
On saturday we went skiing at Stubaier near Innsbruck. The resort was nice and quite high (the highest point was over 10k feet). The elevation's effect was much larger than I would have thought. I was out of breath several times from simply hiking to the lift or even skiing. Hopefully this can pop my EPO up enough to be a killer cyclist at Atomiade. The day started out a little too overcast, but got better rapidly. By lunch time the sun was completely out and nearly cloudfree. Lunch itself was fantastic. Not only was it rather reasonbly priced (8.60eu for Tirolian Groestl). This consisted of potatoes, bacon, beef, and a few veggies and spices cooked in a pan with a fried egg thrown on top. It was absolutely delicious, and provide more than enough energy to rip up the slopes the rest of the day. Including the final run-out back to the parking lot. This was a '10km' (my gps watch said more like 5 but who knows) run that was minimally prepared. I felt like an adventurer doing it.
