Woke up about 05.00 so was able to go early. Didn't run yesterday as I was still tired from the 63 kms/5days training last week plus I didn't want to be too tired for the planned climbing yesterday afternoon.

Anyway, as a result of a falling out with Pascal the climbing wasn't so long so I obviously woke up so early because I wasn't physically tired enough but I was able to take advantage of it by being able to go running so early.

The downside of waking up so early is that I'm less likely to be able to go to the toilet well before the running, and combining this with the beans last night and the not running the previous 2 days resulted in 3 Ps.

At 1st I thought I would have to go anti-clockwise as I knew I would have to Ps soon and I very quickly decided I would just do the OL run but then before the end of the road I had to turn back for a Ps and, as a result, knew I could risk the clockwise direction. I was just OK as My 1st Ps was at the minimum distance of 2 kms.

The big news is that I was able to successfully do what I wimped out on last week - the complete race route. I tried one different path and saw for the first time where the Volvo people live but I don't know if I would do that path again.

Going early was good from the point of view of the weather which was very pleasant and I had to wear a Tee-shirt.

Wore my new road shoes and no problem with my left foot. They were also much better on the downhill running.
