Giro d'Italia

Yesterday a cold front swept through Briancon, 100min jog on mountain bike track along a rushing river, finished jogging through the medieval cite of Vauban.
Skies cleared late afternoon, drove 32km into Italy, night in Renault at Sestriere. Woke to clear skies, minus 2.
This morning jog on last 8km of Giro d'Italia penultimate stage, forest road with deer and marmotte, snow everywhere, returned from 2335m asl, an ascent of 400m. I think we are hill fit now.
Now to eat, drink, be merry, wait for lycra to come.
Easy week was 108km. Knee niggle went away. Back up to 125km last 7 days.

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. 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.
