4.5m slow with Paul then steady home k7 fast

4.5m slow with Paul then steady home k7 fast.




No car so could not get to the foulee glandoise ce soir.

Massive rain storm delayed the off and was followed by the biggest most stunning rainbow into the middle of the lake.

Paul was annoyed with me for running "in front" of him, I'd say it was level. Anyway after the port we split up (friends again) and I picked up the effort and snuck in a fast last km - just under 4mins.

6.2m Airport hill

I had in mind to go at a decent clip today, but by the time I hit the first km I knew that today would be nothing special. Second was also disappointing before the big hill where enevitably yet more time was lost.

However, I was dragged up the hill by a couple of blokes who were chatting in French and managed that on the hill.

At the top there were a few people out and I almost contrived to overtake a different couple of guys twice.

Did the full route and went through 5km at 26mins so re-assessed the "decent" and decided to try and break 50 mins total.

Got that no bother and enjoyed flying down the hill and even sneaked in the last km in under 4mins. Total time 48:29

2.3m with Paul

Just happy to be out with the lad, easy does it and missed the rain too!

7m Roll, Perroy via 2 beaches and back on the high road

Steady enough run going out to Pre Vert, back to the port (where the divers were cleaning the lake) then along the front to the beach, then the Perroy beach, then up through the vines to the main route back to Perroy. Decided to go under the tunnel to get to the high road back to Rolle.

Ok and nice to get faster through the last few kms.

5.5m lake side with 2 fast kms

Decided to do a couple of fast km in this run.

The wind was stong against on the way out so I went for the 5th and managed a 4min km, but only just.

I messed up the start as I only noticed after 5.11km I was supposed to be going fast to by the time I got to the naked lady statue I had to sprint finish to get the 4mins.

8th was easier, wind assisted and felt comfortable at 3:55 min for that km. I needed to job back after though!

Looking at the Garmin data, I love the recovery after the fast kms!

5m Trelex very hilly run with mini foulee

Pretty much straight up tonight with Yanik leading the climb.

He was undisputed king of the hill and rightly so as it was to be his birthday tomorrow.

Sprint round the piste vita was slow for me as I respected Paul's wish not to be overtaken.

Annoyingly lost the Garmin as it crashed and could not be restarted after 1.5miles, by which time we already climbed 150m.

5m old Airport hill route

Old loop going up as usual then following the Sentier des Ecrevisses with it's little wooded section which I do like.
