Col de Manse

Drove to Col de Manse for the stage today. An early run of 65 minutes around Puy de Manse on mtb trails and a late 25 minute run at Albertville as a loosener. That keeps the kilometres high for this week. Hoping to do a session tmoz as we are watching the time trial on the tv from the hotel room.

A goal of ours since 2008 has been to get ourselves on the tv coverage. Yesterday I told a friend exactly where we would be and what we would be wearing...we didn't disappoint!! For the sixth year straight we made the tv coverage:-) Twice today both of us.

As I have for the last 3 years I record onto laptop the tv coverage live in the car. Today I had to jog 300m to the 10km kite, a quick break from watching the race on the tv.

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.
