Lump getting larger - more swelling - confirmed as ganglion cyst. So, 5 weeks to the itera, the only treatment option offered between now and then by the GP was homeopathy which I'm not sure I'm pinning all my hopes on.....
It may just go away on it's own, however I can't really take the risk of it not - On the hunt for somebody to aspirate it asap then hoping it lasts until the end of the race/at least for a few days into it! Alternative plans involving two different laces in shoes so not putting so much pressure across it in development.
Anyone any experience with this/ any ideas?

Foot swelling returned - antibiotics not making any difference, I think Zanthe is right with Ganglion cyst theory.

Kayaking with Helen - speedy bursts then some bobbing around to regroup. Another lovely evening on Windermere :-)

Another hours sleep back home then off for the next ride. Kendal - Kirkstone - Pooley Bridge - MASSIVE CAKE AND COFFEE - Shap - Tebay - Kendal.

Felt good on the bike, think the legs have finally recovered from beasting over Duddon, Ennerdale and BG Support!

Whilst I was disappointed not to be out supporting Adam on his awesome attempt at the BG 24hr record, watching his supporters returning beaten and knackered did take the edge off slightly. Rode with Edie instead - over Newlands to Loweswater where we caught the end of buttermere horseshoe then back over whinlatter before a quick tea, meeting a battered Wil at Honister, cheering Adam through Newlands within 5 mins of the schedule and then catching a couple of hours sleep in Braithwaite before waiting with baited breath!

So close I've no doubt that record will be his one day!

Got home from sheffield and Wil sent me straight to the doctors due to inflamed lump and swollen foot. Antibiotics due to suspected infected insect bite

Run around crookes with Zanthe. appearance of lump on L foot.
