Tyrolean Fitness Regime

Continuations and Records

The warm spring weather helps build up fitness for the pending crossing of the Alps. Hikes in the Tyrolean mountains and long walks through valleys allow for varied days. The cities of Innsbruck, Rosenheim and Munich are connected through a series of marathon hikes, while 70km are surpassed on a long day in the vicinity of Innsbruck, further highlighting the level of progress being made. The tired legs felt on the Slovakian border are but a distant memory, as are the knee pains felt in the Netherlands and the exhausted feet in Flanders. Occasional blisters remain part and parcel of the physical activities, yet are nothing but a foot note to an otherwise pain-free experience.
