130323 Alpstern Trophy
neill, 16:11h
In the morning a friend rang to ask if I wanted to take her place is a ski race - http://www.alpstern-trophy.net/ - in the afternoon. Sounds like fun so OK.
Turned out it was a relay race - snowboard, ski touring up hill, skiing down hill and then skating. The two ladies in the team did the snowboarding and skiing, their Dad did the skating so I was left with the walking up hill. It was "only" a bit over 300 meters of vertical climb as fast as you could so I don't know why I felt like I was going to be sick when I reached the top and handed the start number to our skier Clara. The schnapps I received helped me get my pulse back down.
One of those things where you think at the time "this is stupid" but it seems more fun the further in the past it is.
Alison was also in a team as the downhill skier in the team.
