| Getting there slowly. My left leg almost feels good as new, though the right one still seems a little tender. May think about some sort of exercise this afternoon - I need the break from revision (and I'm getting fat).
Must resist the temptation to go the the National this weekend, though... |

| So, didn't do any exercise. Did, however, get the 2007 Oxford City Race registered with BO(F).
For those who don't already know: Saturday 10th November, Oxford. Be there, or be somewhere else. Whatever. It's a free country, you know. |

| Club Circuits, avoiding the impacty-type exercises (star jumps, burpies and the like). I think it's helped loosen things up a bit, but my right shin is still painful when I walk. |

| Shins sufficiently buggered to stop me from taking part in the relays. Scott not happy. |

Bugger.
Started off feeling quite confident, with the shin problems (that I've been keeping quiet for the last week) not really bothering me. Then completely screwed up #2, ending up attacking off first one, then a second incorrect veg boundary. By this point I'd twanged my shins on various rocks/twigs/assorted undregrowth, and they were starting to hurt a lot. Then made the mistake of trying to contour through the crap from #4 to #5 (ignoring a path option), by the end of which I was virtually in tears. Don't remember much from that point onwards - made a particularly stupid route choice on the first long leg just to avoid going through "terrain", walked most of the way from #11 to #12, got lost at the spectator control, fell over repeatedly, occasionally screamed. I seemed to lose all strength in my right ankle, and with it any sense of balance. All of which was particularly annoying as I seemed to spike most of the controls (albeit very slowly). Still somehow managed to finish third on the Men's B, which - combined with a blinder of a run from Ollie - won us a Toblerone. Yay. |
