Mont Ventoux Double Ascent

Something chasing Tour de France does is make you completely forget the day before and the day before that...So I forgot I ran Gold Coast Half Marathon only a week ago. In the last 7 days I am well over 130km for the week.

On Saturday and Sunday I made the summit of Mont Ventoux my daily run. Camped at altitude of 1350m at Mont Serein the run included 560m climb and descent. Each day I ran an extra 20 minutes late in the day to shake out the sore spots from the legs.

Now in Albertville which will be base camp for the next 5 nights. All the stages are within commuting distance of here including the stage on Friday which comes past the hotel.

Really looking forward to some flat running on the bike path in coming days.

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.
