Giro de Italia







Sun 5.00pm 11 KM Roo+Lake 48m04
Mon 6.00pm 6KM Roo 23m06

Well that calf strain took longer to sort out than I expected. I lost a weeks training and it will teach me a lesson for trying too much too soon. The byword has to be moderate training.

Anyhow, I managed to get out on Sun and run 11KM pain free in 48m04.

Doing a late run today as I had a late night last night watching F1 (what did Vettell think he was doing??) followed by the last stage of the Giro on the net. Only a 15 K TT so Cadel had no chance of catching the top 4 and getting a deserved podium spot. It must be hard for Cadel having to compete against the convicted dopers like Basso and Vino, knowing in all likelihood that he is still being beaten by cheats. Cadel rode really strongly through out this tour and bodes well for the TDF.The revellation of this tour had to be young Richie Porte from Tas. A really superb debut major tour.

Tonight I shall just run a 'fast' 6K Roo in the dark when I get home.

Hope all your running is going well and your getting the results you deserve.

If only Cadel had a decent team to drag him back on the day he had a fever David...still Richie and Matthew benefited from all that...three Aussies pulling on secondary jerseys on the final podium must be a good thing.

Best wishes for those comeback niggles David.

Thanks Bruce,

Yes if only Cadel had better support through the mountain stages we could start to dream....
