Event: Sprint Series #2 - UWS Parrramatta
 

UWS Parramatta. No. 14 in the wrong place, cost me about 30 seconds. I only found it because it was on the way I went to 15 and Andrew Lumsden pointed it out. Went around a few unmarked garden beds too. Other than that a very good course. 10th of 67

Same as yesterday, but with Cath (Caths GPS track, mine froze), clockwise. Added Aoife's kms as well.

Event: SLWC V
 

Bare Creek Trail Ride. Not flowing, rocky and mostly slow, but definitely worthwhile. Only had to get off twice (creek and one uphill when I lost my line). No near-fall experiences, but was going pretty slow. Saw one wallaby and one goanna.

Saw orthopaedic surgeon. Two issues: sprained and inflamed ligament (the Lisfranc) and underneath that an "oedema" i.e. a bone damage zone of hairline fractures caused by the 2nd metarsal hitting the middle cuneiform. The cartilage between the two is gone as well.
Resolution: rest. It might take another 3 months. These things take time. The good news is that the bones have maintained alignment so no need for surgical pinning or freezing.

Really should have done some homework in the holidays.
