High Altitude training

Well - me and Ann are just back from the Alps - the intention was to do a bit of ice climbing in Chamonix along with a bit of snowshoeing.  Cham had an unexpectedly large dump of snow when we were there which pretty much completely curtailed the ice climbing, but we did get out every day for long walks in deep powder.

So while away, the training plan was developed.  January was to be pretty much alcohol free, we'd get out in the hills more and cycling miles would be pounded out with regularity.  OK we're only 2 days into the new year, but there's been no cycling miles, there's been beer every evening, a whole large peperoni sausage has be eaten and the weather forecast in the hills is quite frightening. 

I guess I'll be playing catch up !!!!  I hope Andy's not keeping up to date with this blog :oO
