Ten out of ten
Focus on Sunday, look at infinity. Gouda, the decor half the distance. Without further preparation, freely freewheeling with the #DuivelseUitdaging as a helping hand. Due to the Devil's long distances, one third was chosen and has now set three check marks. There will probably be a big tip tomorrow and then the 13th that 21 anyway.
I notice that it is still so dark early in the morning. Actually wants to work from a distance for work, but rather in daylight. Time is running out, I'm drinking coffee. Just put on an armlight. Great at a competitive pace, even in a headwind. Nice temperature and a good start to the day.
Cross towards the bus stop, then turn right. Along the narrow path and the deer, straight ahead to Hoogvliet. Turn right past the theatre and around the gate of Ter Werve turn right again at the nest. With a fresh eye, the same distance to work - and thirteen hours later on foot again with Tuesday in your feet.
No tight schedule for the kilometers to be covered. The time is long and the maximum thirty is the only one I prefer to do on a day off. A nice bonus that the moment of competition is challenging and what really strikes me is the positivity of the field of participants. Every day, many photos of Strava moments, devilish advent calendars and happy faces come by on both Facebook and the Gram. Of course, I also contribute to not being left behind.
Not quite sure yet when it comes to clothing because of the weird temperatures. The shorts or long pants, not unimportant even considering the train journey. A long-sleeved shirt unless it gets sunny but probably wind around the puddles. The target pace is already clear and therefore an intended end time. In principle, everything near the CPC is acceptable, underneath it would be a nice bonus and far from surprising and beyond expectations. After the first seven, a gel, accelerate after the second seven and, if possible, a final sprint from 17. Pack my bag the day before and consult the trip planner to get a smooth start on Sunday, Fancy.
