Final days on Lanzarote

stats of the week: run 20 km, cycled 244 km, walked 10 km

Lanzarote welcomes us with warm weather but strong winds. As usual on the island my average speed is quite slow due to the wind and sometimes bad roads. And my distances are rather short with less than 60 km. Anyway, my focus is not on cycling for the following months, so I don't mind. It is just for fun now.

We had extended our stay to 15 days but meanwhile I would prefer to be at home to take part at the demonstrations in Germany against growing facism in my country. I have ever thought of German people that there are still at least 20 per cent following Nazis' ideas. It is confirmed now.

The village of Famara is built on sand.

The island of La Graciosa looks caribbean.

The newly tarmacced road to Guatiza makes a perfect stretch for cyclists.

Sunshine to start the new year

stats of the week: run 31 km, cyceld 116 km
stats of the previous week: run 30 km, gym 3 h
stats of the week before: run 40 km, gym 1.5 h

The 10K New Year's Eve race was a disappointment. I had to struggle right from the beginning and was still slower than at the previous races. Maybe it was just a bit too much. Only positive thing was that I was able to add the 5K with C so it made a 15K and my longest workout since New York.

The new year starts once more with a bit of sunshine. Lanzarote is our favourite Canarian Island to do some bike rides in the hills and jogs along the promenade. Unfortunately C caught Covid after a few days, symptoms are heavy and she has to lie down all day to revover hopefully before the holiday will be over. I still hope I can fend the virus.
