I vs Salève (and more...)

And the winner is... ME!!!

Yesterday, Saturday, I decided to go to the top of Salève, which is a mountain in France that goes up to 1400 m (according to this article from wikipedia).
It isn't very far, but it's mounting all the way, it was hard as hell, I had to find my rithm and mount all the way without stopping. I only stopped one time, after 25 minutes always mounting, because I didn't came in the correct rithm, but after that I didn't stop until I got to the top (more 50 minutes mounting). After being on top I could move around and visit some places there, but since I was a little BIT tired I just climbed a little bit more near to a high view point to take a look around. I think that next time I will go and visit other places there, when I'm more used to climb :)
Some numbers:

  • Climb lenght: 9Km

  • Time to climb: 1h24m

  • Time to descend: 15m

  • Maximum speed: 63.2Km/h

  • Average speed: 13Km/h

  • Total Km: 27.1Km

  • Total time: 2h05m

Today, Sunday, I had a very nice barbeque with Portuguese people that are in the Geneva, Lausanne and in between region. We also tried to play a little bit of volley, but I don't think that I can say that we really arrived to play it...
I didn't took photos, but there are some in facebook, I don't know if everyone is able to see them, because I don't understand nothing from it... I just registered to be able to see the photos and that was it.
So for this I leave you only with the photos from my victory over the Salève! :)
I vs Salève

See you,
