A couple of easy days running, backed off the kms, all I need is some sleep and I might start feeling good. Such hard work chasing this crazy tour. Easily the biggest crowds so far of the last 4 years...madness totally.
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.

How good was Cadel Evans - 2nd is a great start to the tour...But how bad was the spectator that (may) have been responsible for causing the awful stack in the early part of the race...
Bet you are so glad the tour is now underway...
Vive le Tour !!!
