13.5m Rolle to Nyon

Went up cycle route 1 and then went further than I intended to before dropping down to pick up walking route 4 and followed it all the way to Nyon.

Set out at 7:30 and it was ok until the sun was up properly and had burnt off the cloud by around 8am when it became seriously hot again. Became hungry runny through the orchards with the crates stacked ready to harvest the apples, corn on the cob and sunflowers lined the route from Rolle to Dully.

Nearly got run over by a mad postman in a van driving on the pavement and on the wrong side of the road. I guess he did not expect to be overtaken by a runner.

Felt like I had more to give after one hour to Gland so stepped it up and ran the second half at what felt like a decent clip.

Took the hill option at the castle in Prangins which was hard going on the steps, but it felt good not to chicken out and run the route suisse into Nyon as that thought did cross my mind.

I was 1h 49m to the station and a further two minute jog to the RZ with the family to set up the stand for selling the kid's junk. Then I took the car down to the beach in Nyon and swam around the swim zone markers and back in. Later in the day we were back at the beach and the flat calm made the same tour tough. I had to rest at the old diving board and chatted to another guy who was doing the same. No choice but to breath offside due to the wave direction.
