There is not much to talk about really. This trifling chunk of gear is just a handheld. Not your usual handheld though.

With a capacity of only 0.3 litres it is certainly not an immense chunk of water/plastic you have to transport. For me it is all I need during this time of the year. Ergonomically formed bottles are nice and do not always work for me. This one does.

The small mesh pocket conveys all I need during lunchtime or evening jogs plus a GoPro if you like. The “Handy 10” does perfectly work during my habitual day-to-day runs in the heat but not during longer races I guess.

And that is all I have to say. Simple does it!

Damn! I was trotting five kilometers on cement last night. Horizontal, speedy and sticky. Well, I’m not too sure about the speedy though.

Checking the record, my 18:18 was my slowest time for this distance ever. Harmfully stoked about that ending. Certainly it was excitement. It is a great distance and with 6.200 people running this corporate race it was something special for sure. Went out hard and faded hard.

Now it’s back to SwimRun specific preparation. I cannot wait to head to Sweden in 30 days.

“They shootin’! Aw made you look…”

I spend a lot of time with this dude. We met in Ireland what feels decades ago. We developed a sincere friendship. We met last weekend to celebrate his sons christening. We rode bikes around Ticino. Great as always!

#Selfie – For sure!

Plunging  down Alpe Tedesco

Horizontal. Pretty unusual around Ticino

Ponte Tresa – Coffee Stop!

And up again.

Recovery – Ticino Style

This baby does not need any introduction. One of the proper benchmarks of the Brooks collection – The Cascadia.

Now in the ninth edition. What a prettiness!

This swim kit will be up for some severe pounding in 10 days. The first big race of the calendar is close – The Engadin SwimRun.

Premier contest for the ill-famed GSP.

Compacting it the best way. Stoked for another set of true CEP-adoration. No one squashes better – Fact.

Thanks for keeping it all those tired fibre’s organised. Inside the water and outside the H2O.
