Quick ride up the hill to teh start of the O race. Quick because i had previously tried to get there by car and was told to turn around and take the shuttle due to parking restrictions. So drove back and quickly git dressed for eth ride up. Slight rain, but fun to explore the tracks up the hill.

Day 1 of WOC festival. Surprisingly good run, finishing up in 3rd place in front of a bunch of people i don't usually beat. I guess the key was to just take it slowly. Didn't make any big mistakes, just a few smaller 30-45 sec errors in the circle. Forest truly horrible with lots of rocks and brashings and very hard to run and read the map.

Easy VTT ride around the forest behind La Feclaz. Great VTT area, although didn't handle the single track very well at all - much prefer the fire trails :-)
Taking it easy today as final hectic flurry before hitting teh road to teh WOC week. Felt like i was getting a cold yesterday, but fingers crossed it doesn't seem to be developing today. looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight.

Late night working, tidying up, and making soup. felt a bit flat but a lovely morning for a ride. Startring to be a bit darker in the mornings now - autumnn is coming fast. Nice ride around the Bois. Nothing special.

Good pacey run with Justin around Bois and Longchamp. Calf felt okay, pace was very good for a large part of the run. Gorgeous weather at last made it easier.

Easy morning run to test out the calf. Felt a bit weak but not painful. Didn't push it, felt quite fit. Ice, massage and anti-inflamm gel afterwards. Fingers crossed.

Easy VTT ride in the evening. Straight out to Parc de St Cloud for a quick lap and then back home. Tried to keep the cadence high and work the hills.
