Last tune-up

Went for what's probably my last run before next Sunday's Paris-Versailles race. Might go for a run on Friday in Paris, but if not today was it.

I'm not sure how far I went. From measuring it out on the map, I think it's 5.83 K or 3.65 miles, and I did it in 30 min, which would be pace of about 8:12 minutes per mile. I think. That pace would mean I'd run the 10 miles between the Eiffel Tower and Chateau de Versailles in about an hour and 20 minutes.

But there's a big hill to go up. You can see the elevation profile on the web. It's flat for about the distance I ran today, and then it goes almost straight up (at that scale) for about 2 K. What fun that will be! Then it levels out - more or less - for the rest of the race.
