De afgelopen zes maanden heb ik al onderdeel van mijn opleiding tot neuroloog de verdiepingsstage Cognitieve Stoornissen gedaan in het Alzheimercentrum van het AUMC. Het was een leerzame en leerzaam indrukwekkende stage, en de patiëntencontacten die ik daar heb gehad motiveren mij om mee te doen aan de Alzheimer Challenge. Samen met collega’s fiets ik op Hemelvaartsdag 300 km, met als doel om geld op te halen voor onderzoek en Alzheimer de wereld uit te helpen!
Difficult to find the time for running. It has just never felt the same after my pelvis fractures. I’m going to dedicate some more time to it after 23/8, but if it doesn’t improve after a couple of months, I’m going to accept that I’m just a cyclist 😅
Accidentally saved the previous ride after the group ride ended and I returned to Watopia. But I owed JOIN some intervals, so did some more. And now I’m doooone.
I’m planning on counting the traffic lights in the final 12 km next time. I think it’s 15+!
First ride on Dutch soil since the Giro delle Dolomiti. Felt good! No pain in my Achilles tendon; I still feel it a bit when walking down the stairs, but on the bike it was all good. Legs felt good too!
Short stage today, but I did fear this one! First the Passo Tre Croci: a nice warm-up. Then Tre Cime di Lavaredo: a very steep climb with gradients to 19%! I was particularly scared of this climb, because I’m afraid of falling over when it gets too steep 😂. I didn’t fall over; it was fine. Relieved and invigorated, we finished with the Giau!
Wolkenstein to Cortina d’Ampezzo. Relatively easy day, with first the Passo di Sella and then the Passo Pordoi. The start of the Passo di Falzarego was closed (road works again), so we had to take a small detour via the Colle Santa Lucia to rejoin the climb at a slightly higher point. Hot day, but the legs are holding up!
Just a short ride today, to loosen up the legs after the 12 hours in the car yesterday. A beautiful climb from Sölden, in perfect sunny conditions. Cappuccino and Apfelstrudel at the farthest point, then back to the hotel to save our legs for whats to come tomorrow and the rest of the week!
Felt pretty good! No long-lasting effect from Saturday’s suffering 😂
Great legs, awful weather, bit chilly after the finish 😂🥶. 3/34
5 intervallen van 8 minuten in de tempozone met 5 minuten rust ertussen. Probeer de cadans rond de 90 rpm te houden.
