A FANTASTIC WEEK IN ZERMATT

Late afternoon on my last day in Zermatt, I went for an hour run on the Zmutt trail. I used it as a bit of intensity, a week out from the 54k Birken.

I had a wonderful time with Lenny, my college buddy, best man, and for several years also my doctor.

In spite of the fact that I had no expectations of this being a high volume week, I still managed a solid training week. I logged 17.5 hours, on 35k hiking, with 4000' vertical. I also had three afternoons riding lifts with skimo gear, as well as one good nordic workout.
