just when I thought I was going to get through the offseason without a major overseas trip, the company up and surprises me.. the month of April in Eberstadt, Germany. Whee.
Does anyone have any local info about these towns ? Good run routes, bike routes etc.
The wonderful swimmersguide.com site lists 3 pools in Darmstadt, Zentralbad, Nordbad, and Bezirksbad Bessungen (beserker's bath ? sounds dangerous) but there isn't much info on hours etc.
I'm not going to attempt to take a bike over, may rent one if there are any decent rides nearby.
I know Lothar Leder lives in Darmstadt, so there must be some tri-friendly running/bike clubs around, but Google has not yet found them..
"It is a good feeling for old men who have begun to fear failure, any sort of failure, to set a schedule for exercise and stick to it. If an aging man can run a distance of three miles, for instance, he knows that whatever his other failures may be, he is not completely wasted away." Romain Gary, SI interview
