York Uni Urban, V40+
Concerned about right achilles so planning on wearing trainers rather than zero drop inov8 or racing shoes...discovered had forgotten them so inov8s it was, not ideal. It did at least turn out to be good to have studs for some of the steep banks but not so helpful on slippery concrete corners...
As a result was running rather than full-on racing but still fitted in some wobbles, nothing too serious or time-consuming, maybe worst was leaving #26 ninety degrees wrong and having to back-track briefly.
Achilles seems to have just about survived but pretty sore, some caution and care definitely needed for next week or few.

Up and down Porter, achilles warmed up okay but started to grumble again near end. Nice run even with a big headwind on the way up!

Boxing Day Canter
Big turn out of approx 230 competitors but was all alone from the outset so clearly no-one else liked my chosen route! I was liking it though as I was the first customer to find Roving Santa and then the first to find the Roving Elves aa well, nice to collect 100 bonus points inside the first six minutes!
Ran pretty hard and missed out four of the ten-pointers in the first loop as I can never normally get all the controls at this event, however by the end I had some time to spare so maybe could have scooped up one or two more.
However found the Christmas Tree near the end for a full house of bonus points so all good, 5th place this year.
