Across my limits

stats of the week: run 31 km, cycled 84 km, walked 20 km
stats of the previous week: run 5 km, cycled 224 km, walked 8 km

Participating at the new Gran Fondo Provence Occitane I chose the short route of just 75 km, but I still got the chance to cross my limits. Mont Bouquet is a rather short climb of 5 km, but starts with 11% ascent, culminates half way at 16% and finishes at 11% again. 

The photo gives a wrong impression. At the steep middle part of the ascent I also had to dismount my bike to avoid falling down due to exhaustion.


Luckily the finish was relaxed again.


C won a big cup for being second lady older than 60.
