TRANSALP DAY 6 - Scuol - St. Valentin

Day 6 from SCUOL to Sankt Valentin! Now in Italy! i had a tough day today with belly cramping and had to do the Drugs..very slow and then picked it up on last bit...Many people had a tough day ... we maintained top 10 at 9th place...Crazy with a km to go we spot 2 women's teams ahead of us.. so we burned it .. but didnt catch them... ah well... could have been 7th...37km... 1600m climbed..brought us to the land of Gelato, good espresso and prosciutto!!! We even sat in the sun at the Goretex Beach for awhile at finish line...Simone and I both being Vegetarians are doing some crazy ' Eat Meat' week and I think today we went a little overboard with the Proscuitto and smoked salami.. We had to settle our stomachs with a tough Schnapps after dinner...Watched our pictures of the day and Video of the day up at 2000m high with an outdoor screen, like a drive in movie... I feel wiped ... I am going for the earliest time to bed yet at 1030... Up at 445... For a 7am start... Crazy course tomorrow... With some high technical Alpine stretches... Love that stuff...adios my friends...
