Run 40:00 [3] 6.6 km (6:04 / km)
Getting out the door pretty early because of an 8.58 train out of town. This probably wasn't as bad as my last two sprints, and the hamstring was only troublesome on a long descent in the middle, but still not an awful lot of energy in this run - the early start might have had a bit to do with this.
This was a long travel day: train Kolding-Hamburg-Mannheim-Basel. The reliability of Deutsche Bahn is not what it once was (a combination of investment not keeping pace with patronage growth for many years, then currently a lot of big construction works trying to play catch-up), but today seemed a particularly bad day. I ended up missing my 40-minute connection in Mannheim by 15 seconds (the connecting train being what seemed to be the only train in Germany to be running on time today), but at least there was another train 20 minutes behind so the consequences weren't too significant. Always nice to watch the landscape go past, although my back was not always enjoying this - hopefully it settles down overnight (with what will be a badly needed night's sleep - at least the room won't be too hot here).
