Lovely crisp morning in the Plaça de la Font awaiting the start of the last sprint in the old town of Tarragona. The other day we saw a quite wonderful video representation of the ancient Roman city fading back and forth to the modern one. This plaza is what remains of the circus where the chariot races were held in front of a huge stadium. Bits of the old city remain, including parts of the old wall both ancient and medieval. Quite a beautiful city.

Best result of the week, 4th of 22 in my group. Just one small bobble, stopped one intersection short at #13, and pondered it for a while. Otherwise mostly slow to puzzle out the route, particularly in the part up on the wall. Very satisfactory. Physical inventory: definitely better than when I started, pain from the fall a few weeks back much less, back held up well. One hamstring a little tender, but no incidents with it.

There will be no track, as the watch did not respond to me pushing the start button.
