Easy with some strides 4x50, followed by stretching before race
Note
The joyful strains of Advance Australia Fair rang out over the Champs Élysées today as Cadel Evans became the first southern hemisphere rider to win the Tour de France- crikey Cadel!

Running race (Trail) 17:15 4.5 km (3:50 / km) +50m3:38 / km
Beaver Brook 5k- actually 4.5 k out and back down and up (all the climb in second half). Humid but conditions much nicer than yesterday and temps in high 70s. Good run, conservatively out in 8:30 and uphill in 8:45- kept the momentum going and passed a couple of guys on the uphill grind. Finished 6th (out of 76) and faster than when I last ran this course 7/27/08 in 17:47. Decent HTFU opportunity (a long race for me these days :-) and felt like a sub 20 5k effort (avg'd 6:10/mile).
