Training Log Archive: Angus Dobson

Checked my phone roughly 20 times between 12 and 6 am, couldn't sleep. Decent run from Harry, very weak run from leg 2, strong run from the two mikes leg 3, set off in a bit of rain v worried about why my breathing wasn't right, overtook 2 on the first long climb then 2 more on the second with a 5th in sight I was getting nearer on the decent when with about 1k to go I kicked the floor and my calf deformed and moved higher up my leg, lying on the ground with two ladies massaging back to where it should be, I was in pain and they lifted me up to try and jog it off, v slow pace to the finish, weirdest experience I've had, still didnt get caught by 1 out of the 5 I'd taken, so I gained 1 place overall but would of been sub 50 had I not hurt myself, pleased with that considering no training and freshers etc, roughly 45/217 but would have got a top 35 I think without the fall

The main positive of the day had to be meeting jonny brownlee and having a good conversation with him about training, after reading their book last year I definitely wanted to meet him!
