A whirlwind week began last Wednesday as I boarded the trusty TrenItalia lucky it was not ‘sempre in retardo’ and I was on time to meet my team in Bologna. Continuing on the road south for the next 3 hrs in convoy, the team vehicles arrived at Muri Fermani race destination, Fermo on the Adriatic coast. (Thanks to our friends at Fuji Bikes I dont have to travel with a bike, my race bike stays with the team and my training bike stays at home in Lucca!)
-
- The race finished on a tough climb. I was 4th making it my forst top 5 result in Europe!
-
- A tranquil beachside pre race cafe was a welcomed reprieve and a moment to be savoured before the travel+race schedule continued.
Following the race we all piled in and drove up the coast (admiring a gorgeous a Adriatic sunset) back to team HQ in Montebelluna, after a 1am arrival and a short sleep we then departed for Venice airport for a 3 flight journey to Philadelphia landing us at the race Hotel at 1am. Here is where I was inspired to blog on ‘traveling light in more ways than one’!
