School's out for summer

As mentioned our Tommy had his last day of Primary School today. I walked him to school as planned and attended a really nice ceremony in the afternoon. He is lucky that he has a nice group of mates and are mostly all going to the same local Secondary.

England got smacked in the cricket today.  Plain and simple. I have been debating whether to get involved and buy tickets for the final day on Monday. Is now looking like a good call that I haven't. The best England can hope for is to bat out from here and will need the heavy rain forecast for Sunday to hang around longer than the top order.

On the Tour front no major shake outs, a transitional stage toward the Alps. GT is now being dubbed the next Brad. At this stage of his career there are obvious parallels with Sir Wiggo.

I've been following Adam Yates' daily Strava updates from the Tour. It is very sobering indeed. Avg speeds of c.40kmph whilst  climbing 5,000m and clocking top speeds of > 90kmph. All in a day's work or 21 days straight in the case of the Tour :)

An amazing night of Athletics at the Monaco GP with the younger Dibaba breaking the DOUBTFUL 1500m WR in 3.50. Wowieee. 30 year old American record for Shannon Rowbury also, one of the NOP Salazar group.

I squeezed in a run at lunch in between calls (circa 9km @ 4.30s) and felt yuk but more importantly the ankle Ok.  Will try and tempt the family with Park Run in the morning.
