Street-O @ Wattle Park

I feel so much better after this. It's amazing what a brisk walk will do for you! On my way to the event, all I really wanted to do was to go home and crawl into bed. Afterwards, I felt almost normal!!

5.7 kms. Ran out of controls, and came in 5 minutes early. Average pace 9.51 min/km. I wasn't pushing it at all - just walking at a comfortable, albeit "brisk" pace.

I even went for a little run after I finished - just to the toilets and back - to see how the foot felt. The ankle is fine - the foot is still sore. There is some swelling deep within the joint, and this is what hurts when I put more than my bodyweight on it.

However, it looks good for an attempt at C course on Monday. I actually did the equivalent of a C course tonight - 11 controls. So I know the distance is do-able, even if I have to walk lots.

Saw paulc in his CR cap in the crowd at the beginning, and saw a motorbike heading off as I came in. Was that you, Paul? Silver helmet. I didn't recognise the bike - but it was low and it purred. :-)
