This time (7 May) spring was really under way. So was my allergy season – and although this was much better than ever before (I’ve been having allergen-specific immunotherapy), I noticed that I was a bit short of oomph going up the hills. But it was a lovely day, so I just took it easy.

Also not good for the oomph was that I didn’t organize my own sandwiches and instead relied on Konditorei Pfleger in Semriach for grub. by the time I got there I was a bit too hungry and ordered not cake but a toasted sandwich; and not the normal one, but the Pfleger-Toast. This turned out to be basically just two toasted sandwiches instead of one, which was too much – and I was labouring to digest it all when going up the Trötsch climb.

This led to my first ever official Sweat Pledge, to ride up this climb without stopping.
