ahr:162 max:218

up to Italy via the col de montgenevre. followed bro's wheel as didn't want to over-exert my achilles then he tired so pushed on solo. pretty tired by the end.

got through the border guards no problem.

achilles was pretty good overall, painful a bit when I had to push the bike up the hill on the way back off road for abit, but it doesn't look to have swollen up like it did a few days back.

back up valley. off road until I got fed up with being rocked about on the trail by the rocks. nice tail wind up the valley once on the road.

Cycling 16:09 [2] 12.58 km (46.7 kph) +11m

down from the Lauteret after dropping car off for the stage with my brother. got dropped due to mechanical. ankle was flipping sore after stopping at the bakery. turns out I wore my front brake out on the descent, but didn't really notice till the end.

Great fun off road slog up the Lauteret. quite rocky.

HR data a bit crap.

5 PM

Cycling 20:57 15.39 km (44.1 kph)
ahr:179 max:220

after an ace afternoon spectating Froome dog et al, a quick whizz down off the Lauteret, we were pretty speedy after the voiture balai so the descent hadn't got super crazy by this point. The 15km, 10km banners were still up so it felt like we were still on the TdF (apart from the fact there were a few motorhomes driving down the route).

ankle seemed to be OK straight afterwards.

Walk along ridge with Dad. Cable car station 2200m > chairlift 2200m.

Plan was for me to do the climbs and Dad to contour round. Took the first hill solo, was trying reasonably hard, but suffered a bit of a sharp pain on the inside of my achilles (where the TDH tendons are). Damn. Managed to walk round the rest of it, but I cut out any unnecessary climb. A bit annoying.

Cycling 21:31 [3] 12.2 km (34.0 kph) +29m

Ride down to pick the car up with my Brother. As suspected this turned into a massive burn up, which maybe wasn't ideal with my achilles, but no clicking once I'd finished thankfully. Pedalling pretty much midway between heel and midfoot.

complete rest today as achilles was unsurprisingly sore when I woke up. iced, compressed and did my exercises morning and evening. good job I'm on holiday as it takes such a looooong time.

Note
(injured)

Achilles quite sore once I'd cycled down the valley this morning and was very clicky once I'd got off the bike. Wasn't too bad on the ride back up and when I finished but Id changed to pretty much mid/heel position on the pedal by this point.

Achilles again a bit sore walking this pm but once it had clicked out at the start it seemed OK, better on the descent than climb.
