Col du Galibier 2556m asl

Drove from Apt to Galibier with a stop at Embrun for coffee and frites.
Ran from Col du Lautaret 2055m asl to Col du Galibier 2556m asl, almost exactly 500m ascent on a sunny afternoon.
Spent some time at the kiosk at the top before descending back down the mountain. Awesome views, Glacier de Meije more spectacular than ever.
Have been icing my left knee...yesterday with gelati pistachio, today with snow...not quite as delicious.

I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
