Took a while to get warmed up. The road is pretty rough, the spring gravel has achieved nothing and there were some big stones that have rolled off the verges near the start.

Supposed to be an easy session but ended up a lot in zone 3/4 anyway.

Got my classic rollerskis out for a change and went on a long but thankfully shady and early ski.

A slight variant on the Superloop, this time going straight from work which adds around 5km. Arms were a bit tired at the end with nearly 20k at lunch. I also took in the Isle d'Amour bridge.

Back to largely double poling in an anticlockwise loop. Having recently done quite a bit of skating with no poles balance is definitely better. Not too many people as it is August.

Loop but in the reverse direction. Average of 4.01/km but skates felt very slow in the muggy air. I was taking it easy as I had a bad back for a month and wanted to test things out. All okay now.

A variation on the route today. Decided to try and skate the Chronovélo from Meylan to Grenoble city hall. The Chronovélo are high speed cycle routes where bikes generally have priority over cars.

Back to skating, a little 20km roll in 1h20 at 4m/km average. A tail wind on the way home meant I moved up to 8th place on the Gieres-Domene segment in 10m40. Not bad.

It was a grey day. After my run last week I wasn't keen to repeat the experience and have to rest up for a few days. Cycling - too cold and mucky. Nordic skiing? not enough snow.

I took advantage of a small weather window in between the rain to ski the big loop with a variation through the campus and around the meander loop.
