Got up to be faced with a glorious morning, having spent the las two days driving through various amounts of rain I couldn't believe my luck.
So, full of the joys of mid September I strolled out of the hotel to do a long run. There's a path that runs right along the edge of the lake, it's a great place to run. Foreign runners do seem to be slower though, I lost count of the number of people I overtook, normally it's me being chased down. Gettng close to Torbole there were wind surfers, I never realised how quickly they move. They sort of race towards shore then do a hand brake turn, it looks great fun.
Anyway, I started off slowly for some reason, after a couple of k I realised and upped the pace. It was all pleasant enough until the sun came over the mountains then it became a bit harder. Did 16 k in 1:25 over a flat course though so that's a good indicator for the race.
It's roasting now though so I think early morning's definitely the order of the day.

P.S. I hope that you had sun tan lotion on
Nah, wasn't that hot first thing in the morning. As soon as the sun came over the mountains it got toasty though.
Some people ran in the afternoon! They must be hardcore
