Day 1 Jetzt sind wir hier! :D
Hey, now I'm sitting at the hotel in Graz, and thought I'd blog a bit! Today we drove Team Relay and it started with driving a time trial of about 900 meters. And based on the results from the Time Trial, you had to start in different starting lines. There were 66 teams and each team got to pick out a cyclist who would run the time trial, and we chose Joel Burman. Joel ran on really well but was unlucky with that he fell into a steep curve, but he was quickly up and kept driving. It got some scrapes on his leg and arm, but otherwise it went well. He went into a 60:th place of 66 starters, so we had to start at the starting line 6. The first distance at Time Relay drove Herman Larsson, when he entered to the switch he lay in a place around 46:th and switched to (me) Selma Svarf, I had some bad luck and fell on a downhill slope. But it went well and I continued toward the exchange. I came in at a place around 45:th and switched to Joel Burman, he ran on well and ran into goal on a 42:th place. On the 48: th place came Team Gothia, which is another Swedish team with Max Wiklund Hellstadius, Robin Thyrstedt and a female cyclist from Turkey.
The days are very long when you go to the start area at about 9:00 o'clock and will not return to the hotel before noon around 20.00. It's been nearly 30 degrees every day and it's not cool anywhere, what you can do is drink and drink again. And water is consumed, has had a water bottle with my hand all day today, and it has been asked to fill in every five minutes.
