Craigavon Selection Sprint, took this one as hard as the Achilles would let me - think I was pretty much clean but I really struggled on the fitness (and pain) front

Reformer - sweaty session tonight the studio was an absolute sauna

Figure of eight road loop from home, with a dash back home in the middle to get the dinner out of the oven.

So looks like its an insertional Achilles injury - no ice, no brufen, no stretching but lots of eccentric exercises.

WEE 4. Stormont - I wasn't going to be able to run hard so I took the map memory option. 6 maps spaced equally along the Avenue, so to avoid massive amounts of extra distance or climb you needed to remember 5 or more controls with each look. Occasionally I got myself into the general vicinity and luckily was passed by someone with a map so just followed them in to the control! Lost time on 13 - had simplified too much and got confused by the path network. 14 I only had a vague idea of where it was and instead of committing to it I dithered and then took on extra climb and distance to reach it. 15 hadn't really looked at how to approach it and ended up at 17 first, but for that I was trying to remember 7 controls + the finish to get me home in a one-r

Achilles was pretty unhappy for this, even running slowly - hopefully Adam can fix me tonight.

Sweat-fest
