In March 2009 I spent
9 days on Cyrpus with 80 ultra-marathon runners. I ran 120km in 7 days and
also managed to get in some sighseeing |
|
Group 2 at the beginning
of the 3 hour long jog |
|
A leisurely run at the last day |
|
After the leisurely run we had breakfast on
the beach where some took advantage to have a short swim in the still cold
sea |
|
Who would have thought? While one could (with
some effort) have a swim at the beach, there was still lots of snow in the
Trodoos mountains.... |
|
...in fact that much snow that all the slopes
were still in perfect shape... |
|
..even though not all lifts were running
during the week |
|
The organizers always made an effort to show
us some sights. For instance the "Bath of Aphrodite" on the way to the
mountain runs on the second day. |
|
The well groomed promenade of Paphos |
|
ditto |
|
Paphos has some outstanding historical sites |

The border crossing between Greek-Cyprus and
Turkish-Cyprus in Nicosia |
