Road bike1:30:00 [2] 25.0 mi (3:36 / mi) (injured)
Loop from C/S Cup heat at Timble Ings. Cote de Blubberhouses, Bolton Abbey, Ilkley, Otley and back to Timble over the moors.
No Achilles discomfort but left hamstring still troublesome.
Happily SYO qualified without my help :-)
Golf with Andy. 39 Stableford points (19/20). Decent.
Achilles better than yesterday but a little sore towards the end.
2 PM
Note (injured)
Physio session with Kim's assistant, Sally.
She agreed that my Achilles doesn't have an injury as such, but is sore as a result of chronic tightness all down my left side. She did some loosening and gave me a couple of exercises.
Not running tomorrow but hopefully should be OK for British Middles.
Keep up the stretching and icing!
Golf. Rabbits Greensomes. Won 3 and 2 :-)
Achilles less sore than this morning. Could be due to the stretching and icing I did between rounds. Whatever, good news that it's settling down quickly between flare ups. Let's see if the Physio agrees tomorrow...
Achilles sore as expected this morning but no worse than last night.
I will avoid exercise for the rest of the week and hope it settles down. CompassSport Cup on Saturday not looking good. Not sure how golf will affect it.
Bamford sheepdog trials Fell Race.
Not my thing. Fast start along old railway line (7 min miles for 1.5 miles ) then vertical climb up Winn Hill. Very difficult to pass on the climb but still managed to overtake many walking. Lost most of these places on the fast descent. 8 mins down on Neil Northrop.
Worst thing is that my left Achilles was getting very sore towards the end. Had to slow to a cruise to try and protect it. 10 mins icing it in river afterwards.
