Beach Intervals 2 x 1km ; Tour de France Watching

Morning Beach run at Glasshouse Rocks racing Munchkin the Border Collie at low tide on fast packed sand. After the run a long warm down. Weather cool to cold with drizzle overnight. Outlook is for similar weather for another week, snow in the mountains. I delayed the session today by an hour to fit in with low tide and get a decent sleep after watching Tour de France Cycling racing in Italy. I was happy to see Romain Bardet hold on for a close win in his final Tour de France. I will be more excited when the TDF gets back to the French Alps on Tuesday.

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.
