Dropped Freya at basketball training and headed off from the Stade Francais HQ for a run around the Bois. Almost immediately started getting caught up with the pedestrians streaming in for the French Open at Roland Garros, which would have been frustrating if I was running with any kind of pace. But it was okay as I was still struggling to get my legs moving. Started feeling better around the Hippodrome Longchamp, where there were the usual massive Saturday morning peletons doing their Tour de France impressions.Quite warm and humid and stopped a few times for a drink at the nicely positioned fountains. Really got caught up with the French Open crowds on the way back, quite unadvertently as I had misjudged where I was leaving the Bois (how long have I been running in this area!?!). Good run overall.

Beautiful evening so headed over to Parc de St Cloud for an easy evening spin on the mtb. Cruised around but did wind up going up a few hills quite hard as was being chased by a couple of mtb guys and felt obliged to stay in front. Very pleasant evening ride.
