Thunder Storms Overnight ; Rain This Morning ; 10km Fast Paced Hill Loop; Tour de France Watching

A cold change moved through the area overnight bringing thunderstorms. This morning the cold front is still pushing through with persistent rain. The rain did clear in the afternoon.I got out there for a fast paced run on my 10km hill loop. Last evening another great race in Tour de France finishing in Boulogne-Sur-Mer with a hard fought sprint to decide the outcome. The best of the tour is still to come with the Pyrenees and Alps, Mur-de-Bretagne and le mont-Dore. Before that my favourite Holiday destination Saint Malo hosts a start on the way to Mur-de-Bretagne.

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.
