Bike : Ugine to Annecy to Ugine

I remember when I first started researching how to do Tour de France, coming across a description of the bike path along the lake of Annecy. A beautiful lake and little Venice centre ville, the bike path was only 13km in length back in 2005.
By the time we first came in 2008 it was about 30km long using the old rail line. Every year we come a bit more is added.
Today's ride was 36.5km x 2, with pique nique in the park near the ville. Salad, fromage, artesan baguette, pastries x 2...delicious...mine bum is sore:-)

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.
