Lazing in the sun eating delicious food then lazing in the car stopping to eat delicious food.

Racing with Emily which was good fun as we seem pretty evenly matched. We had a pretty good race helped by a Chris-approved route, good execution (most of the time!) and mostly accurately placed controls! Feeling pretty good and strong most of the time apart from a weak patch at about 6 hrs. We probably could have got another 60 points had I been paying a little bit more attention right at the end which would have taken us over 2700 but pretty happy with how we went (and hopefully we showed those guys who implied the controls we were going to were going to be too tough for us 'fragile girls' just who was boss!). I'm surprised at how well my feet held up too especially considering how much running we were doing.

Too much to do...but I did finally get my bike back from the shop again. Fingers crossed this time the brakes are all fixed!

Saw the sports doctor today and am now finally booked in to see a wrist/hand specialist in 2 or 3 months time. Despite suspecting for quite some time the bad news was coming I still feel so completely crushed. The hospital never ever told me just how bad it was and there were breaks in places I had no idea about (but things that explain a lot pain-wise). I am angry they kept saying it was looking so good now that I have actually seen the xrays up close. The next step is the specialist to see whether taking the plate out would make any difference to the movement (and if that was possibly the case whether it would actually be worth the risk which I kind of suspect it wouldn't be).

C • Bad news 2

Drowning my sorrows on too much ginger crunch...??? Plus too much to do tonight anyway.

NightNav was cancelled after the wild storm closed the park so ended up doing lots of work and baking ginger slice. Nice little ride after all of that!

Lots of stretchy stretching.

Nice little run around in the Bowenvale valley. Feeling okay apart from a bit of a sore back but surprisingly I didn't notice that running.
