My Sunday workout in Vienna
Yes folks, although it was apparently a rather windy day at the lake neusiedl (Neusiedler See), the ‘kite-mekka’ of Austria located about an hour from the capital Vienna, I could not go for a Sunday-kite … deeeeeep sigh 🙁
Yep, work on the computer kept me at home, however, after about 6 straight hours of typing away on articles and stuff, I needed a break… and went for a little ‘triathlon’ 🙂
Mountainbiking up the hill, jumping in the public pool and a few kms of running, thank God I have the new O2alive Sport-drink to keep energy-leves high 🙂
I know that many kitesurfers purely focus on exercising on the water. I would very much like to encourage you to also try out different stuff, even if on land (!!) when the water is too far or conditions lack… it’s good to alternate and will only make you stronger and fitter for the next session 2 come on water 🙂 !!
