Run 29:00 [3] *** 3.2 km (9:04 / km)
spiked:7/8c
Disappointing end to the competition part of this trip. The Achilles wasn't good in the warm-up; I decided to give it a couple of controls to see if it improved. It did, sort of, to the point that in a race that mattered I would have been prepared to keep going on it, but I didn't think it was worth taking the risk for a race that didn't matter. Jogged home the rest of the course (cutting from near 2 to 14), getting to see a bit of the WOC terrain and probably confusing the chasing start midfield as to why someone going so slowly was in amongst them.
The succession of races on soft terrain has clearly been more than my body is able to handle at present. I'm definitely hoping I haven't gone back to where I was last November, and suspect I haven't (if only because the injury does appear to warm up). I won't be in terrain again for a while which may settle it down. Will wait to see how it feels tomorrow before deciding whether to attempt to run in what's left of the trip or take a break until I get home.
