Well, this was a baaaad week for training!
I was looking forward to tapering up after the Devil’s Challenge and continue on my training plan for my 15k at the end of October. But, it seems a small microscopic virus decided to get in my way.

But a couple of weeks ago I dumped my bike and took a serious header in the process.
The only thing that saved me from any kind of serious injury and [...]
