7 days before the start of the race Nacho and I are in the Pyrenees to study in-situ all the route that this X-Pyr has reserved for competitors. It is true that we know some steps of this edition from having flown them on other occasions, but this time the central X has a part through the French Pyrenees somewhat tactical and depending on the weather can make the change of decisions is drastic.
We have been a few days and the weather has not been accurate to make some flights. Even so we have tested the TP7 (Corronco), making a climb on foot from the village of Barruera in the Val de Boi.
The weather is going to be difficult, so it’s time to do some walking to keep training the physical part, and of course, the acclimatization a week before the race in the high mountains.
Always enthusiastic about every corner and every valley of the Pyrenees.
