Golf with Andy. Played match play and he won 4 and 3. I had a couple of good spells but a bad one in the middle meant I couldn't compete with his 79 gross.
L Achilles much better than Tuesday. Seems to be settling down well. Ice afterwards. Still hopeful will be OK for Shamrock.

A bit nervous on the left leg, particularly on the plyometrics. Feeling a little weaker but not painful. Ice afterwards.

Golf. Pro's mid week comp. 31 Stableford points (16/15). So so.
Left Achilles sore. Not too bad but bad enough to cause discomfort walking round the golf course. Ice afterwards.

Golf. Rabbits knock-out matchplay comp. Lost on the 18th hole. Should have done better. Achilles less sore than for this morning's round but still problematical. Ice again afterwards.

York city race. A course, 5.7km straight line.
Still not racing on tarmac so cruised round. Still made one big error on #7 to #8 adding a minute or so.
EPOCspookster zoomed round in 39.
Note: left Achilles a bit sore later. This is new: the last time I had Achilles problems it was the right one. Worrying. Not sure if it's the road running to blame (shouldn't be at the speed I was doing) or the knackered left heel cup on my Innovates yesterday? I will rest a few days to let it settle. Ice as well.
