Sierre Zinal
Sunday 13/08/06
Sierre Zinal mountain race - 31km / 2150mtrs
74th place - 3hrs 28mins 45secs
Despite the grim weather, the race went ahead and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Much speculation at the start about a possibly shortened route as happened last time I did it.
I went off very sprightly with the view of getting stopped at Chandolin or Hotel Weisshorn.
Struggled a bit in the mid race steady sections but got going after Weisshorn and blasted the descent.
Made my target time of sub 3-30.
Now I only need to do it in 2008, 2009 and 2010 to complete the medal collection. Or maybe not.
