Training Report - Oyafuru 11




(This is an imported training report from Tesseract's personal site)

Once more, Tesseract's individual training report. Like the last two time (cf. Oyafuru 9 and Oyafuru 10), he went riding just to see the hard rime. So more exact, it wasn't training. The temperature was minus 13 degrees Celsius in Oyafuru. It was a cold morning. It's amazing because Oyafuru is only 20km from the centre of Sapporo but the temperature at the centre of Sapporo was minus 5 degrees Celsius at that moment because of the urban heat island (tandis qu'il faisait moins 13 degrés Celsius à Oyafuru). So it was lower by 8 degrees in Oyafuru. In addition to the low temperature, the previous night, fog was enough intense because of radiative cooling and calmness of wind. Thereare, beautiful hard rime was formed
