Ah f#%$
Relay
Went over on my left ankle half way round. Something got out of place as whilst lying on the ground I moved my foot and there was a crunch as my ankle reset itself. Fortunately I was able to put weight on it after a couple of minutes and hobbled back. Stiffened up more later.

Chribska - 7.1km 480m
Steep hills with plenty of rock features. Mostly good underfoot though with only one largish area of stony ground.

Ran fairly hard although was cautious when rocky and on downhills.

Messed around a lot on 1 by not picking a very good route and then stopping frequently as I hadn't got a good picture of what was coming up. Lost a fair amount of time in complex area as well.

Note

First WOC done! I enjoyed it and the home crowd were immense, definitely something I'll never forget. Gave the race everything I had (it was painful!) and of course I'm disappointed with how the relay unfolded but that's life.

My race was average, I'm just not on the form I'd like to be or even where I was 2 years ago. Saying that I'm grateful that I can run and compete after not racing at all last year due to injury, having to rest more earlier this season due to compensating injuries and not having the smoothest month building up to WOC.

It wasn't the result I dreamed of for the last 4 years but I'll be back ;)
