La Mongie : Hills : 621

Twice climbing Tourmalet yesterday, 4 times in 2 days. Felt great to have a 20 minute warm down near sea level just before dark.
Fun day watching the tour yesterday. Tried to get on tv but I did not succeed. Broke the rule of heading off the mountain same day...took 4 hours to go 17km, some walkers beat us down.,.no regrets really...pizza made up for it even if dinner was at 10pm
Today miss the stage, watch on tv. Road closes up the next mountain of Plateau de Beille later so no other choice.
The run today near Foix. 6,5,4,3,2,1 min intervals 30 sec recovery.

Hi SBx and Minnie, keep sending the postcards, love reading them...How do you think Cadel will go over the next few days, any chance of a maillot jaune (Yellow Jersey) for him ? I am keeping my fingers crossed for him...

Pat and I celebrated 33 years of marriage today (15 Jul 11), had a lovely day off from work and went to Gundaroo for lunch at The Royal Hotel (Grazing Restaurant) very nice meal, highly recommend the place.

Am going to start training again, keep getting found out at the BBQ Stakes, over 3 minutes outside of my pb, which I set this time last year, need to get back to that level of fitness again...

Will be running the 16km Bush Capital, but am going to take it nice and easy with a friend who is in training for another Triathlon race over in Hawaii.

Anyway, good luck over the next few days, enjoy the rest of the tour and see you both soon...

congratulations to gt & pat...well done
cadel is doing just fine...if he stays out of trouble he will be on the podium...it's a long way to go. The last 3 days are really tough (not counting the romp on the champs in paris.

See you at the handicap gt

Big Weather Event Brewing ; Indoor Training ; Australian Masters Athletics Championships Mixed XC race

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.
