Those cobbles are nasty in heels!
Gunnar had his uni graduation ceremony and ball yesterday after completing his degree in 'Wirtschaftwissenschaften'....what a word! That means Economic Science for the rest of us who enjoy a language where the words are a little bit shorter and easier to pronounce!
It was a good excuse to put on a pretty dress, wear some high heels and attempt to understand what was being said. It is unseasonally hot here in Thueringen and yesterday was a very sweaty 33 degrees or so....there was not much air to spare in the Grand Hall where the ceremony was held. The university in Jena is one of the oldest in Germany, it was founded in 1558 and so I think there have been many many ceremonies held in this place :)
This weekend I am at home, a bit of a luxury in the racing season. There is no racing on that is in the vicinity and so I trained this morning with the local Saturday morning bunch (a little different to Universe or Coluzzi!). Tomorrow I will join the old men for a Sunday loop and then some extra km's, and enjoy some coffee and cake in the afternoon.
I leave for Montreal next Friday in order to race the World Cup on the Saturday (ouch!) and then there are two, four day tours in Canada...one in Montreal and one in Prince Edward Island. Ever since watching Anne of Green Gables as a little girl I have wanted to go to Prince Edward Island....I never imagined it would be on a bike!
