Bergerac : Perigueux : Paris : Home

The last days for us here. Today we wake up in Saint Emilion and travel to Bergerac for the stage finish. After the race on towards Perigueux for the final time trial. At some point during the morning of the time trial we will jump on the peage and head for Paris and the CDG Ibis where we usually stay, drop off the car. One night there and we head for home.

I will attempt to fit in three more long days of training before the flight home. It will just be runs cobbled together where I can. 18km a day has been normal for here since recovering from a chest infection.

All up for this trip to Tour de France 13 stage visits plus a rest day in Carcassonne. That takes our total to 103. We only started counting when we realised this year we would reach 100 and wanted to mark the moment. We will stop counting again.

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.
