Chamonix, France
On Monday, the day after the regatta, we traveled back to Corgeno, Italy. On our way we stopped at a small town called Chamonix which is in the French Alps. We took a gondola to the top of L'Aiguille du Midi. This mountain is 3842m and there is 45% less oxygen on top. From that peak you can see Mont Blanc which is the highest mountain in western Europe. I could really feel the lack of oxygen as walking around and climbing the few stairs there were was challenging. It was a wonderful side trip, and to see God's beauty was spectacular. Now back to business and training for the next two weeks.

Hey Rosie - the Alps look so SO beautiful! I'm glad you and your team could spend some time touring just for fun. That's crazy high altitude to hike in even for a conditioned athlete like yourself - good thing you don't have to race in that thin of air! CONGRATS on a fantastic time trial and a formidable race day effort - cheering for you all the way! Miss you and love reading about your adventures!
