Spent the afternoon, once I'd escaped from the conference, wandering Wien - across to the university botanic gardens near Schloss Belvedere, then Naschmarkt (impressive array of dried fruits, nuts, spices, cheeses, things stuffed with cheeses etc, but I already had pretty much everything I needed, from my local Billa) then back through the city centre, which is ridiculously conscious of its tourism potential. The sun had finally come out and everyone was eating ice cream, so I did the same. After all, I'd walked about 10km on pavement...therefore it took a while to get going on a proper run and I stuck to the tracks in Prater as much as possible once I'd found my way through the amusement park (hatching a plan for later).

Thought I'd better do some intervals since the WMOC sprint qualifier start list has put the fear of god into me, and just as I was thinking how totally flat it is around here, some stairs up the back of a 'grandstand' appeared to me in a vision and so I ran up & down them 12 times. And then I found a patch of woods with singletrails and signs warning of DROPCATERPILLARS - the Viennese seem to be incredibly risk-averse; the botanic gardens had a list of rules as long as my arm (and a Sunbathing Verboten graphic). And then I got a bit lost yet again and just like on Thurs I ended up further SE than I had intended but eventually spotted the Messeturm and made my way back through the modern university campus, wishing I had a sprint map thereof.
