Taper Session for Steve

2000m 6:35 for Steve, another sharp effort and showing signs he is in absolute top shape, well in contention for a medal or two. Big step up for Steve is his strength and endurance in the back half of the race. He has much more pure power than me. I hope he gets a chance to show it on the weekend.

Not much from me. 12km today in the bush trails, down to 100km last 7 days, the first time that little since January 8. All is good.

Keith witnessed a tussle between a sports gel and a leather jacket...the jacket came off second best. Not sure whether our stomach can cope long term, leather cannot cope short term.

Rain Event Continues ; Indoor Training ; Tour de France Begins this Weekend with start and finish in Lille

Heavy rain with Gale Force Winds Overnight and continuing today. This weather system should move off the coast in a day or two. Today just indoor training with the odd walk outside to get food at the local store. Tour de France commences this weekend in Lille. Even though I've run over most of the stages over previous years I still get excited every year when it comes around again. The weather today here is very similar to when I visited Lille in 2014 for the Grand depart, cold, miserable and still excited to be there. I got out there for a second Fast Paced run this afternoon on my HillLoop. No change in the weather and another 15km done for the day.
