By lunchtime the forecast bad weather was heading in.
The morning sun had gone and an overcast sky combined with a chill wind to make for a foreboding mood in the air as I waited for satellites.
I
felt tired from yesterday's final ski outing of the year to les Diablerets, Villars and Isenau, but mile one was bang on 8 mins and the
steep airport hill only went over target pace by 40 seconds.
In the
bottom field I notice a guy doing half lap reps and they looked like
they were killing him. Saw him twice and each time the effort levels he
was expressing through the agony in his face was quite something to
behold.
Caught a couple of joggers on the hill and over took a
few people which quickly meant TRP was recovered and on the way back up I
stayed comfortably inside.
No drama on the downhill section where I was again comfortable just inside 7 min miles.
The bottom field and the two kinks delivered the required 10km plus a bit for luck.
Was almost disappointed to finish as felt great and light on feet. That could be the taper kicking in already. Great!
