This was Eli’s first race, and her disadvantages were clear. Although she’s an extremely skilled mountaineer and paragliding instructor, physiologically, Eli is unable to hike or fly as fast as many of the male competitors. And those who fail to reach checkpoints by set times are eliminated.

Total kms: 720km Elevation: +14,620m A route this difficult isn’t for everyone. We looked at options that kept us under 2000m elevation (for warmth) and led us into Italy to enjoy some food and drink. We sought out Grand Tour worthy climbs that weren’t household names. We scheduled stops in cool spots, like in Como at Sartoria Cyclista. We rode the roads of Giro legend Alfredo Binda. But every day we kept distances within reach. We passed through towns, cafés, and canyons. It took about 36 hours to do it all. But the scenery and company made it pass by quickly.  Key learning: when planning, be realistic, but don’t be afraid to bite off a little extra. In difficulty, you find reserves you thought not possible.

Success in pro racing boils down to the sum of many parts. And no one knows that better than Switzerland’s strongest XC racing team.

Unfortunately, this is how it goes: sports help us get in shape, but can also distort the shape of our breasts if done without a good sports bra. Even jogging can be a high intensity effort for the breasts. That’s why wearing the right sports bra is so crucial for every woman – regardless of her size. Let go of your worries and concentrate fully on your performance with functional yet stylish training gear that provides the best fit and support for you.

As a former competitive athlete in cross-country skiing, I know what diligence and consistency are. Without regular training, passion and the necessary portion of heart and soul, an athlete does not get far. But away from sport. Thanks to regularity, we can develop fun in any activity in everyday life, because regularity brings consistency, practice and finally progress.
