Event: Terrain Time Trial, Great Tower
 

Feeling really tired today and eye and head are sore so taking a rest day to recover.

On the way out of number 1 on the relays a branch flicked into my eye and made my vision blurred. Felt like something was in it so tried rubbing it out but gave up as didn't work and was still blurry. Got to the end and eye was sore so took my contact lens and it was ripped and not all came out in my hand. Eye was sore but didn't think it was too bad but got worse so ended up in A&E with Dad and Jess. Thought there might be a bit of a contact lens left in and there was also a dark spot visible which was a bit suspect. They examined it and said there was no lens left in but there were 2 scratches across my eye and discharge which might indicate infection coming on. So they gave me antibiotic ointment and stuck a big dressing eye patch over it! Can't wear contact lens til pain subsides. Hopefully will be better before Sat and Sun as I'll need to read a map!
