Galibier : Long Intervals

Before watching the Galibier stage on the tv some long intervals on the bike path at Ugine. 10,10,2:30,2:30,10,10 minute intervals (45:00 all up) with 1 minute recovery, approx 18km covered in the 65min session.
Raining in the valley, warmish, 6 degrees on Galibier, no chance of snow settling...glad to be on the bed in the motel.
Big day for Cadel, he has two riders in the early break, a strong man and a climber...it will be on for them all today. Cadel will need all the help he can ger. Let's hope it is into a headwind to keep them all bunched together.
12 weeks covered on this journey in France so far 11000km in the car and 1500km on shoes. 130km this week.
Back to the tv...village deparr on France3 has just finished...en direct after the publicity:-)

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.
