Running 59:53 [2] 12.53 km (4:47 / km)
Easy with Phil, Jamie and some of the girls after not much sleep. Legs a bit smashed to start with, but the torrential rain soon meant I forgot about them..
My left Achilles is a bit sore, not while running, but just when you press on it. I first noticed it on Thursday doing strides in spikes. This worried me, not because I thought it was a serious injury, but because I didn't know how it would react to 10 km in spikes on the weekend. Those who remember my only other GB athletics vest will recall that I ignored some niggles going in and pulled out 2 km into a 10 km with a calf injury. After that experience I seriously wondered if I would ever get a GB vest again, and this soreness made me worry that was all going to happen again. That was my biggest worry going in. As it happens, I didn't feel it during the race and it feels no worse now. If anything, it feels better, but that might just be because I'm not worried about it any more.
