Easy zone three run. Great to be out in the cool and was a dark start so I needed the head torch.
Jason rocked up just as the clock spun around to 7:30am, which was our away time and so that was just perfect. Very Swiss!
Ran past the new offices of Gumaco where Jason works and he decided to take of his running trousers and hide them in the bushes near the train tracks. So if you get there before Monday.....
Other interesting thing was I used some mind games on the hill pointing out to Jason that the pace on the hill up to Perroy had dropped and so I picked it up. This was just the start of the Psychological Operations leading up to the Gates of Perroy. At the bakery I ask if the race to the gates was on and Jason said "I'm not telling you as it will influence the out come." I read that as I'm hanging on here hoping to sprint past you just before the gates. Red rag to a bull and I kick hard. Just enough to put a couple of metres between us and hold the gap with the several challenges (which were pretty strong by the way) that Jason excerted. I held the gap, doing just enough to go through the gate first.
Last PsyOp comment was as Jason bent up double in the park, "Come on mate, instant recovery, back to pace, let's go!" He's saying OK but his face and body language are saying "I'd like to stop here for a bit and recover", but it is downhill home and the 5min route extension is declined and we reach the bakery after 55mins.
All in zone 2 and 3 except the fun at the gate.
