An interesting week in NE, SW and SE Tunisia. Took a great ride down to the Sahara, near Douz and along to the Algerian Border. Pretty interesting time to visit given Bouazizi.

Good to be able to concentrate for a whole week on getting the miles in, almost nudging the 100M mark which will become pretty standard post the National next weekend. The one session that stood out had to be the half marathon on the treadmill. 15 km/h to 17 km/h for alternate kms. 4 min kms to 3.30 kms, great change of pace training every alternate K. Also good to get out on the beach from time to time too and keep to the softer stuff.
