Woke up improved this morning, still sore and still a bit swollen but not as bad…seemed like I would be fine to at least try to race. Had to go anyway as doing commentary.
And it turned out I was okay to try hard, and in fact I was pretty good today apart from the short leg to 11 where I threw in an extra 6.5mins of being completely hopeless and running around cluelessly. In the lead at control 10, fastest from control 11 to the finish. What an idiot.
No progress and pretty sore so back to the dentist in the morning… diagnosed abscess not just reaction and gave me antibiotics. Wish I had gone 24hrs ago!
