Hmmm...keeping this up to date: Norway was amazing. I'd love to go back there for an "adventure" trip sometime - hiking, rafting, kayaking - something. It's by far the most beautiful country I've ever seen. Since Norway we have driven through Sweden, Denmark, and Belgium, and spent a couple of nights each in Germany and France. It's been great fun. Then we got lucky yesterday: we picked a lovely looking hotel in France, drove a coule of hours to get there, but it looked pretty sketchy. Then we did the same thing again, one hour away. Then we did the same thing again, another hour away. Then we drove another hour to Luxembourg, and found an amazingly gorgeous city, with a nice hotel thrown in. So we are in Luxembourg for a couple of days, before two nights in rural France, and then on to Paris for five nights.
I've not been able to do any swimming (which was good for the first week, letting my arm recover fully), but have been running regularly. It's probably not ideal, but when this is done I'll have a full month of uninterupted training before my swim and I'm sure I can get back to full strength quickly before tapering for ten days or so (I know from past experience that I do best on a short taper).
That's all the time I have for now. Au revoir!

You didn't mention your mouth so I guess you recovered. Do you drive on left or right side of the road.??
Don't miss the Palace of Versailes
and Montmartre. I challenge you all to climb to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.
Yep, my mouth recovered after about three days. That was unpleasant!
We did not go out to Versailles. If you have seen one big chateau/castle thingy you have seen them all, right? JK. Just ran out of time. It will be nice to have something new to do for the next trip to France (whenever that is). We did see Montmartre/Sacre Coeur. Nice view from up there, but it was very crowded. I ran under and around the AdeT, but it wasn't worth 13 euros to go up - so I couldn't complete your challenge. Oh well.
