La Ronde des fleurs-10kms Luchon

So....after a wee break well needed after the duathlon championships..I spent two days in the UK filming an educational podcast that will be up soon on www.livebeyonepilepsy.com I walked like John Wayne for four days since my quads were so sore and got back into running and riding easy. August 21 I set a personal best at the Ronde des Fleurs in Luchon-a small but large pyreneen mountain town at the foot of superbagneres. The course was 3 laps of 3.something kms to make the total 10kms exactly. Took off a tad fast and spent the first lap out there pretty much alone getting passed by loads of men. i kept a 15kph pace and finally sensed I was being followed. I pulled the first lap and a half and coaxed my running mate to come through...wanting to work together like we do in a bike race. my thought was we each pull and ill tuck in for the sprint...heehee, anyway, I pulled and she pulled and I started the sprint way too early but i broke my own pr by 35 seconds running a 40'29 and coming in 2nd. was a nice evening and very good fun....
