Woke up at 5:10am, but was thankfully able to fall back
asleep until 7:10. I went out for an
easy 30 minute run through Sarnico again.
After cleaning up I went down for breakfast. It was a buffet. I had rolls with brie (yay brie, I have been
craving you) and a very nice thinly sliced ham, some yogurt, a roll with
nutella on it, a sweet roll, and about 50ml of chocolate milk. There was no fruit in the spread which
surprised me, but as you can see I got plenty to eat.
I took a walk close to my apartment. I walked in an area close to some apparently
unused train tracks. There was dirt and
grass underfoot, a grove of trees to my right, and there was no one in
sight. I could hear the squawking of geese
on the lake nearby but not in sight. I
could hear birds. The distinct sound of
a chainsaw caused a swelling of longing in my heart. I miss Utah.
Being here makes me miss home.
The smells, the sounds. I sat for
a bit and took in the sensory reminders of how different my new home is. Race tomorrow! The course is mostly flat, but a bit rolly at the beginning, then a nice hill at about 17 - 18k, then a bit rolly to the end (it's a 26k race). Ciao. |
