Ran in the Zoom Vs, the first time for a long run, doing the 5k warm up in th campsite folllowed by the 4 x 2k outside which meant the undulating hills. Did my best to avoid but almost impossible to. Splits were around a 3.37 average with jogging 60 seconds in between and then straight into the 10E which I decided on 4.15s. Now at the 24k marker I was really low on energy and so coincided the 24th k with a quick pit stop back at the cabin for some water and a gel. On that my shoes were totally drenched and felt like I had ran through a river.
In the heat it was then always going to be a stretch to hold something respectable for the final 10T. It hurt like hell and the small inclines nearly killed me. Reckon I had a 3.57 average which is disappointing but again in cooler conditions and no hills it's a different ball game.
An annoyed family when I got back, I had to bite my tongue so as not to moan about how spent I felt. 25mins later we were at the beach for a really pleasant few hours before the storm came.
Very nice evening in Biarritz with Aunt Mia who we picked up at the airport en route. We ate in the port where we always eat folllowed by ice cream and the boys jumping off of the point with the locals in pitch darkness.
Absolutely faaaarked. 131ks for the week.
