Vacation in Czech Rep./ Slovenia/ Austria/ Italy part II
We were still hanging out at Flufffest. This morning my friends Max and Dom wanted to go running again, but I had 6 hours block training on my schedule, so I went cycling for 5.10h again to Kralovice and Plasy and then through the countryside towards Rokycany through several nice villages, along reservoirs and just afew cars passing by and almost no cyclists although the whole infrastructure is perfect since there are no traffic lights (more roundabouts, if even needed).
When I got back Max' girlfriend Lex gave a lecture on Sea Shepherd, because she spent half a year on a ship in Antarctica. It was breathtaking what she has presented. Here's a link to their website.
After eating much more good food there, watching a few bands and saying goodbye to the english dudes and Dominik I went to bed very tired. But not before Dominik and me agreed on doing an ultra run together next year
The next morning was our time to leave. We went towards Vienna. A nice town to stop by was Jihlave, where we went shopping. The townfortifications looked quite impressive:

 After this we got to Vienna to see Ritual, Verse, Soul Control and Anchor play.
Lseeping in Vienna and planning to visit Schloss Schönbrunn in the morning (the girls wanted to see the park, Micha and me wanted to go swimming). The damage for swimming was 10€ which was too much, so we have joined the girls and went through the park.

After visiting Vienna we went to Michis father in Spital am Pyhrn, went to the Gleinkersee and ran there. We have also celebrated the birthday of Michis father with his friends and ate soup and veggiestuff while they had a barbecue. We left the other morning and went to the chruch in the village which is pretty big considering the small size of the village.

 After we left here for Slovenia and Italy I still needed to go swimming, so we stopped in a small city in Austria where I saw signs to a swimming pool. It wasn't the warmest day and I was the only there. The water was 18degrees at max and I had to do 2.4km. I kept freezing for more than an hour after the swim still.

The aforementioned HHF Showcase as a real success. We have made quite some money and the atmosphere was really positive. Looking forward to the next HHF Showcases.
Training Jan 21st to 25th:

21st: I did a mixed workout for strength (kettlebell, Therabands, body weight) and then cycled on my fitnessbike for 1h.
22nd:  Weather still bad, got home later, so I sat on my fitnessbike again for 1.20h and did a couple of sprints as well as strength endurance due to arder cycling.
23rd: Ran 63 min incl. 3 sprints, Power Yoga in the evening.
24th: Trained with my schoolswimteam, did 55 min running in the evening before driving to my gym for power cycling II and a sauna.

25th: Felt really exhausted already and could feel that I might get ill. Still wanted to run 60 min after our show at HHF Showcase in Belgium. Warmed up for the show with thera bands and push ups and played our set which is exhausting already, so I thought instead of planned 75 min running 60 ould do it. I ran from the venue in Wilrijk towards Antwerp city center. In Wilrijk I have discovered a temple of the Jains. Pretty interesting. I suggest to check the link. Impressive temple to say the least.

Got to Antwerp and ran back, but on the last street I took a wrong turn and have never used the routing function on my GPS. After getting into it, I got back on the ay to the venue, but had run 85 min. Was very tired, but could't sleep before 11 for ca. 30 min. Then we still had to handle the papers, etc and I was back home at 3.30 in the morning.
