City2Surf 2010 Training and TV Highlights
40th anniversary of the City2Surf fun run had 80000 starters. I was overseas watching Tour de France cycling and L'etape du Tour in the month prior to the race. I had swine flu for the first week of the holiday. I was based at Col du Tourmalet at 2100m asl for a week, running up and down the mountain multiple times a day. It was great training for the hilly City2Surf fun run. On race day I managed to video bomb the TV coverage for the 2nd year straight.
On Monday morning (a public holiday), minus 6 degrees, the coldest morning in a decade. I stayed in bed longer than normal, running 20km later in the day. My 6th week of this base training block complete with 121km. I feel like I am on top of things again, running strongly with no injuries. There are some good races about in the next 2 months. When I feel like I am race ready I will test myself again.
