orienteering 1:05:00 [3] *** 6.09 km (10:40 / km) +194m 9:12 / km
14c
Quickroute!
Middle Distance training au Grand Roc, Semnoz.
Only an hour's drive from Geneva, and that's without using the autoroute!
Went mostly fine, hot enough or lazy enough that I didn't go too fast. Oh, there were zones with branches and trunks and shit laid over karsty stony nastiness, and that was a horrible combination which slowed me down to a walk, and I think after that I had a hard time getting moving again.
The veg has changed a fair bit since the map was made/updated. Théo F apparently ran this in 36, which seems fast. http://ben5907.free.fr/show_map.php?user=maxx&map=...
Fun.
Pitched the tent there afterwards, in with all the VTTishists preparing for regional champs the next day. Then went down to Annecy, didn't run the sprint because I couldn't find the map.

7 PM
running 15:00 [3]
Jog by Lac d'Annecy, followed by a swim and a shower, then a burger in the old town and the end of Barca Juve... by which time the storms had begun.
Rain wasn't heavy walking back to the car, but I don't think two seconds went by without a flash of lightning. Could nearly have read a book by it.
Back up on Semnoz, my tent had a leaking seam. Not too much water came in (rain stopped soon after), but I should perhaps find out how to repair it, or stick to dry-weather camping... in which case the tent is mostly useful as insect protection.
