Run 1:01:00 [3] 12.0 km (5:05 / km)
Road/track run in Trondheim in the morning before the long final. Feeling a bit better this morning than I was yesterday, but still not brilliant for running, in a sluggish-not-inspired sort of way.
Urban exploration was the name of the game here (although following unknown lines on city maps can sometimes take you to unappealing running destinations, like industrial areas or the city dump). At its nicest up around the university and in the more elevated suburbs.
The route to the university did take us on the route used for the 1998 World University Championships opening ceremony march, a desultory affair even by the usual standards of such occasions. At one point everyone sat down on the road to try to get a Mexican wave going, and someone asked "what are you protesting against?". (There had been a number of sit-down protests in that year's Tour, if I recall correctly mainly because the French authorities had had the temerity to start busting people for drugs). This was also the route back from the post-event party, the only time (to my knowledge) that I've been the subject of any international-event gossip (involving a well-known Eastern European who has run in a great many WOC finals and who may or may not be a relative of someone mentioned in these pages a few days ago).
