No wind, dry roads but with a bit of a chill in the air. As the gradient increased and the road pointed upwards I soon warmed up though. I wasn&#8217;t the only one with the idea of riding up here today and I was soon passing people on both mountain bikes and road bikes during my ascent to the top. My smallest gear was a 39&#215;25 which wasn&#8217;t ideal as it had me out of saddle virtually all the way up, but I kept on pushing, following the road as it weaved its way up the side of the mountain. The scenery was opening out below me and the sun was beginning to break through the clouds as I made my way around yet more hairpin bends.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-17050 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Busy-on-the-Horn.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Busy-on-the-Horn-120x89.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Busy on the Horn\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17094\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Busy-on-the-Horn-120x89.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Busy-on-the-Horn-550x411.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Busy-on-the-Horn.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17094'>\n\t\t\t\tBusy on the Horn\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hairpin-Bend.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hairpin-Bend-120x89.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Hairpin Bend\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hairpin-Bend-120x89.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hairpin-Bend-550x411.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Hairpin-Bend.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17095'>\n\t\t\t\tHairpin Bend\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Horn-Road-Markings.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Horn-Road-Markings-120x89.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Horn Road Markings\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Horn-Road-Markings-120x89.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Horn-Road-Markings-550x411.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Horn-Road-Markings.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17096'>\n\t\t\t\tHorn Road Markings\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>There were signs every kilometre to mark your progress up the hill although at times they seem quite a way apart.

I took a few photos put my windproof jacket on and started the descent. The road seemed even steeper in this direction and I was soon hard on the brakes as I approached hairpin after hairpin. I stopped again for some photos and then hit the really steep bit which once again had me grabbing for the brakes and feathering them to maintain a sensible and safe speed as I approached the bends. Then all of a sudden there were two loud BANGS and I found myself weaving to maintain control. Both my inner tubes had popped and I was now cycling on my rims desperately trying to stop before the outside edge of the hairpin bend arrived &#8211; along with its associated big drop of the end!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17097\" style=\"width: 99px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Shredded-Tube.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17097\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-17097\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Shredded-Tube-89x120.jpg\" alt=\"Shredded Tube\" width=\"89\" height=\"120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Shredded-Tube-89x120.jpg 89w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Shredded-Tube-358x480.jpg 358w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Shredded-Tube.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 89px) 100vw, 89px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17097\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shredded Tube<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I managed to stop in time and saw a guy climbing out of the grass on the opposite side of the road. The huge bangs had caused him to fall off his bike and he later said that he thought he&#8217;d been shot! He was cycling up the hill minding his own business when he heard two gunshots and found himself lying on the grass at the side of the road &#8211; the only conclusion he could come to was that he had been shot! Obviously he hadn&#8217;t and he was fine, which was more than can be said for my inner tubes which were in shreds. I can only assume that the heat build up from the brakes on the rims had caused the tyres to burst in spectacular fashion and as they did the sudden release of air sent the tyres flying off the rims.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily I always carry two spares so set to fixing them both. Yet again I was struggling with the tight tyres and my carbon rims. Once I had them on and started to pump them up I was quite fortunate that an Austrian woman drove by in a car and stopped, asking if I wanted to use her track pump. I did, which made things a lot easier than the small hand pump I had in my pocket and after thanking her I was soon on my way again. I&#8217;d put quite a bit less pressure in the tubes this time though and was being extra cautious. The whole event had me a little scared so I used it as an excuse to stop every few hundreds yards to check the tyres and take some photos.<\/p>\n<p>Back down and into the town of Kitzbuhel, I decided against taking on the Hahnenkaam. I now didn&#8217;t have any spare tubes so would have to return to the hotel to get more, and I didn&#8217;t really enjoy the descent from the Kitzbuheler Horn so didn&#8217;t fancy doing it all again. Instead I went for a stroll up to Lake Schwarzsee to see what was going on.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/158075250\/embed\/6b5a0c751e0c750a53a5a544345349c5b5d7b4ec\" width=\"590\" height=\"405\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h1>Geocaching in the sunshine<\/h1>\n<p>The sun was now blazing as I walked through Kitzbuhel and off into the countryside near Lake Schwarzsee.

It is certainly well looked after and very up-market with it boutique designer shops, 5 star hotels endless bars and coffee shops.

The views here at this time of year are as good as they get, with wildflower meadows in the valleys giving way to tree lined hillsides and bare rocky mountains with snow on their tops in the distance. Kitzbuhel probably isn&#8217;t somewhere I would have come in the summer if it weren&#8217;t for Triathlon, but here I was and what a perfect day. I wish I had brought my SLR camera though as the iPhone 4 camera really isn&#8217;t up to capturing such stunning scenery. I did my best with it though and hopefully it gives you an idea of just how beautiful the Alps can be in June.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_17106\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Schwarzsee-Pano.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17106\" class=\"size-large wp-image-17106\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Schwarzsee-Pano-1024x288.jpg\" alt=\"Lake Schwarzsee Pano\" width=\"600\" height=\"168\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Schwarzsee-Pano-1024x288.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Schwarzsee-Pano-120x33.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Schwarzsee-Pano-550x155.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Schwarzsee-Pano.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-17106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lake Schwarzsee Pano<\/p><\/div>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-4 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-4' class='gallery galleryid-17050 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Balloon.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Balloon-120x90.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Balloon\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-17103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Balloon-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Balloon-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Balloon.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-17103'>\n\t\t\t\tBalloon\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Triathlon-Event.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"89\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Triathlon-Event-120x89.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Triathlon Event\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-17104\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Triathlon-Event-120x89.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Triathlon-Event-550x410.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Triathlon-Event.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-17104'>\n\t\t\t\tTriathlon Event\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Kitzbuheler-Horn.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"120\" height=\"90\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Kitzbuheler-Horn-120x90.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Kitzbuheler Horn\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-4-17105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Kitzbuheler-Horn-120x90.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Kitzbuheler-Horn-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Kitzbuheler-Horn.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 120px) 100vw, 120px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-4-17105'>\n\t\t\t\tKitzbuheler Horn\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I then headed around to the other side of the lake and watched the rest of the Male Elites race.

I said goodbye to Roger and Sally once again and then on the walk back to Kitzbuhel got chatting to Carl who I had just beaten in the race yesterday. Most people I&#8217;ve come across whilst racing in triathlons are friendly and there is generally a good atmosphere before, during and after the races. It&#8217;s always nice to finally put faces to the names that you see on start lists and within the results and these international events always result in new friendships and of course friendly rivalry&#8217;s being formed. No doubt Carl is aiming to beat me at the next event!<\/p>\n<p>Back at the hotel and it was time for the eaten to commence once again.
