Alpe d'Huez

Had to scramble a run in yesterday with a huge day on the mountain starting at 5:00am and finishing at 2:00am next day.

The run on the flat along the river and then through town Bourg d'Oisans. Following that a very long walk up the mountain and back down again. I included some hill intervals while we waited for the tour to come and visit us twice. 45 minutes all up running including 3 x 300m hills. 180 minutes of walking not included.

We met Claude, Virginie and Chloe and spent the entire day with our French friends. Coffee in Bourg to start and finish as well as the mountain festivities.

Today the tour comes to us near the hotel in Albertville. Looking forward to some rest and maybe a session later on the bike path.

This week didn't start well with some lap timing marshals giving me an extra 3-4 laps to complete with no fault of my own before I could start to get back on terms in the 10000m event. As things panned out I suffered like most others in the heat and chasing back on was impossible for me once the hamstring muscles started saying No!! The 1000m result wasn't so bad, finishing 3rd behind the front running three in just over 42 minutes. I have just been going through the motions since the 1000m, cheering on as best I can from the sidelines. When I get back home in coming days I will have a short break and start again ant build up into running from again as soon as the hamstrings can repair themselves. Today was mostly walking on the lush course as Stromlo xc circuits. If by chance I can do a little more than that I will try. Otherwise I look forward to making the long trip home.
