Run 2:15:00 [3] 26.4 km (5:07 / km)
Finished off this stint in Geneva with a long run, a little later in the morning (i.e. it actually started in daylight) because my flight wasn't leaving until 1.20. Took the opportunity to explore to the north, a direction I hadn't really been in (partly because getting there required negotiating a couple of awkward road junctions which I thought might be a problem during the week).
As with my first run here, this one took me into France for a while. Last time I found Geneva's Queanbeyan but this time round it was a charming small town setting up for its Saturday market, before moving on to the closest proper forest to Geneva (which looked unexciting for orienteering - flat and probably pretty green in summer - but nice for a track run). Dropped down to the lake after that, via a nice section along a forested river, and back to base.
The far end also gave a sighting of a high school wall with a mural presumably of 1960s vintage given who was pictured on it (the ones I recognised were Martin Luther King, Marilyn Monroe and Che Guevera), and one of Switzerland's many fallout shelters. Melbourne also apparently has these - we found out a while back thanks to a Herald-Sun FOI request that the old Bureau building has one in its basement, but nobody has the responsibility for telling people of their existence in the event of their being required, or stocking them with supplies. It was difficult to argue with their headline 'N-PLAN IN A MUDDLE'.
This run was a good solid effort from the endurance point of view, but the Achilles continues to be at nuisance level, and also had my worst chafing for a while.
Now in Heathrow en route to Vancouver, where I'll be for a couple of days before moving on my next official engagement in Victoria on Wednesday. Planning to run some of last weekend's Vancouver sprint maps tomorrow, all being well.
