Hill Loop 17km : Tour de France 2011 Mountain Runs : Steve 1500m Handicap 4:47 1st, also 1st in Handicap series over 800m, 1500m, 3000m

Morning 17km run over all the big local hills. Some rain about before noon, it will be here for some days off and on. I have a chance to attend to some chores. Today it's all about migrating video and photos from spinning hard drives to Solid State Drives. A few images from 2011, the year Cadel Evans won Tour de France. Today's run is on 6th May 2011 from Montgenevre 1860m asl to L'Observatoire 2398m asl and return with a French Pastry treat to finish.

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.
