Tuesday 12th & Wednesday 13th

Finally got through on skype, but couldn’t play Club Penguin with Hamish as I’ve forgotten my password. Saw Alice and Gen also on Skype so that was nice. Did a run with Americans from Landry to Classic Finish. A tad lower than yesterday, but still a blast. Getting knocked about in Le machine que coupier le jambon (meat slicer), totally lost for the next 400 metres but not too bad apart from that. Wednesday 13th Stew decided it was time for some race pace work on the upper course so we did that. Was very pleased to be able to paddle at race-ish pace for 10 x 1 minute efforts at this stage of the game. In the afternoon drove for the boys first run and paddled the second run at a likely classic level. Stew got a bit tired and lost and Foo capsized on nothing, so I thought better of doing a second run. At this level it’s easier to notice things as the rocks aren’t hidden anymore and there’s a tad more time. After this we all had pizza in Bourg St. Maurice, ate snails, drank beer and watched cows. The pizza was great, the beer refreshing and the snails tasted like garlic and butter and parsley. The cows? We've got no idea why they they were there but a few enjoyed eating the grass on the town's main roundabout.
