Wayne organised about a 30km challenge - have been super keen for it for weeks, but the germ machine (Will) has had me having a chest infection, gastro, headache., sore through for last 4 weeks (not all same time thankfully) And woke up today and trying to convince myself I was well enough... I really wasnt.
Struggled to hold the dawdle pace on map 1 and even dropped a leg jsut to stay closer - felt liek I was going to cough up a lung as we went from map 1 to 2. opted to walk map two and go to limited controls while the others went hard. I just had nothing - and even walking felt horrible. decided to pull the pin there because got worse. After all need to be better for work tomorrow :(
Shame had been really looking forward to it. Luckily awesome Tash was there and gave me a lift home - not that I was much company for the drive as I was dying a slow death inside.
