so, barely walked on foot on tuesday. wed morning, going to doctor's there was almost no pain - he had to get me to jump up and down to localise it - fourth metacarpal or whatever. injected anti-inflammatories and said not to run on it for four days and be gentle afterwards for a week.

by yesterday evening it was quite sore again, having walked rer-470-cesfo-470-rer (less than an hour total all day, i reckon). today it was a bit sore this morning... eased up a bit now but nowhere near cured.

foot still sore. think stress fracture. rdv with doctor tomorrow. trying to walk on it as little as possible

Tour Denecourt
Depqrtementqle rqce...
beautiful day, 6-8 inches of snow on the ground, sun in the sky, temperature above freezing, really nice to race in, if a little cold afterwards... course was surprisingly interesting with some difficult map-reading (perhaps more to do with eyesight than actual technical difficulty), route choice and da like.

caught the 2 mins on AC at the 12th control, not that i had been running particularly well up until that point. mistakes at 1,2, 7 especially.

lovely race. FV won unsurprisingly in 62 having made a couple of minutes of errors.

foot quite sore this afternoon. definitely calling doctor asap.

warm up (5 mins) followed by 25 with anthony in the snow, on and off (only a little) trail. really nice, perhaps shouldn't have done it - wasn't aware of the foot trouble, lthough most of the damage was done racing i reckon
