Cadel Appreciation Day

How is today going to play out today? I have no clue. Just looking at the paper, remembering that all the riders will want to conserve or take a maillot today with the climb over Galibier and final ascent up Alpe d'Huez, here are some thoughts.
Garmin lead Leopard and AG2R by 10 minutes. They will want to get as many over Gaibier as possible. Also Hushovd needs points at the late intermediate sprint. Joining him will be Rojas and Gilbert (points).
Vanendert and Sanchez will attack on Galibier to get maillot point rouge.
Basso and Cunego will be marking each other to be best Italian.
F Schleck will attack today on Alpe d'Huez. A.Schleck will mark Cadel and attack if he makes a mistake. Cadel will mark everybody.
Voeckler will clng like a limpit.
Wot about me...one hour jog, easy 30 later...heart will be pumping...racing starts soon:-) The weather is fine, maybe a shower later.
Go Cadel

Good commentary SBx, but above all else - Yell for Cadel...

Have had a good week this week:

Monday - 1.8km warm up 4x300 hill sprints, 1.8km warm down;

Wednesday - BBQ Stakes nice steady 29mins;

Friday - Custom Joggers sharper run 22.13, with quite a bit left in the tank, maybe on the road to recovery...

Long Intervals

Of me: Early set. Same set as last 2 weeks, quicker again. 2000m (631), 1600m (5:13), 1200m (3:57)[first 4 efforts at 10km pace], 800m (2:30), 400m (69)...all with 200m recovery. Running technique much better. Form much better...not sure how much the form is due to iron jab or 5 weeks of consistent training and some great sessions. Of the others: I paced 5200m at exactly 4mins/km. Roget and Tori did what they could at that pace. Maria did 3 x 1000m. Janene on her own did similar to other weeks in the 4:10-4:15 range. Heidze did 1600m, 1200m, 800m, 400m and looking very comfortable in doing so. Kathy some strides. Helen this morning 4 x 7 minutes.
