Taper Tourist Wednesday

Bloody oath. A day off to rest and taper.... well, could have done a wee SBR but actually by today, I just couldn't be bothered and felt a day off was in order as hadn't had a total rest day for 12 days .... and 40 hours of training later...... Main goal was to keep moving and stretch today so a bit of walking......also must avoid putting my body into some acute shock with the abrupt halt to training. Not much of interest to waffle on about today ( no need to report on the minutiae of triathlon race prep........yawn). so this will be mainly made up of photos- post lunch , a group of us took the telecabine-lift-stairs- to get the cable car up to the top of the mountain - well, not strictly the top but up to Dome des Rousses at 2800m. The actual top is at 3300m and required a walk across to get another cable car.Amazing views, some perma snow and the odd little Alpine flower.

VAUJANY.

Will hang mid air for views. Best ice cream ever. Dinner at the big chalet and a wee glass of red to help relax and alleviate my heightening anxieties about ( wetsuit) swimming in a lake with 1800 other people. It's been too long then bed time....luckily found a plunger and some coffee in our chalet given I was housed with some non coffee drinkers. Some choices I will never understand :-)
