Note
(injured)
Darn, Darn, Darn!
Yesterday was the Austrian Night Championships in O. I was on late duty with my wife (she gets to run first, and I wait with Hanna until she is back) and so I had to hussle to make my start time, which I only just managed.
Guess I was a bit unconcentrated, grabbed my map and headed out. The first control wasn't that easy, and as it was the first time in about 24 months that I have done O with a lap, I seemed to forget the most important rule - watch where you put your feet!
So, down I went and managed to smash my knee on a rock - bugger! As it was the first control I thought I would try and push on. By 6 it was getting really painful, by 9 I wans't running anymore and at 15 I had to throw in the towel. The first race I have retired from in quite a few years :(
Oh, well, a few days rest and I'll go jogging again to see how it's hold ing up!
