Note
WOC Middle Final. Something is still seriously wrong with my body. Racing hurts, and therefore concentration suffers, orienteering suffers, negative spiral compounds and results echo feelings/performance.
Hindsight...
I tried, I gave it 100% to recover and get in shape, I failed.
Racing at the World Champs feeling like this is possibly the all time low in my orienteering career. This year my body has let me down, and that is about the most frustrating and depressing thing that can happen when you put so much into trying to achieve your goals. Injuries can be managed, but debilitating sickness like this is tough to deal with.
Biggest priority now - get healthy, get rid of whatever is screwing up my system, have a proper rest, then worry about 2013 later.
