With the race over it has been time to let the diet go and stay up later than normal. The day after the race we hit the volunteer party with a special invite. The food was great and the drinks were free. I only had 2 drinks all night. I am not much of a drinker to start with and my stomach was still off a bit from the race. Others with our group, and some other pro racers stayed late drinking in the tent. After the beer was gone we walked to a bar and things went nuts from there. I wont tell any details, but Court and I left at midnight and were the first ones to leave. Some guys didnt leave until 4 AM. We have also had a small private party with all the people that helped out with The Triathlon Experience. It was low key and lots of fun.
Today we went into Munich with Hans. He had to run some errands and Court and I walked around the town. Munich is very expensive with many high end stores like Burberry, Armani, Rolex, etc. We saw a lot of men and women decked out in nice suits and outfits, some riding old school bikes but still looking stylish. We had a nice buffet sitting outside and toured the famous Hofbrau Haus. Its a big beer hall with all the classic German food and music. My favorite part was going to the Olympic Stadium. I saw the pool where Mark Spitz won 7 gold medals, and the track where Lasse Virren won the 5k and 10k, what I think is the greatest running accomplishment in Olympic history.
On the way home Hans let me get behind the wheel of his Audi A6 3.0 Diesel S Line. Its one sweet ride. Super smooth, quiet and quick at high speeds. I hit 210 KM, about 130 MPH, and it felt like 70. I wasnt the fastest car out there either. The roads are so smooth that you can drive so much faster. Plus, slow cars stay left, unlike the US where people sit in the left lane blocking traffic for miles.
We stopped at the Edeka (grocery store) and loaded up on good chocolates. White chocolate, rum and raisin chocolate and other great sweets.
Tomorrow I am going to hit the pool and cruise around on the bike to work it all off and enjoy the countryside some more.
Cheers,
AJ
