ankle was no good in inov8s warming up so had to revert to trail shoes. painful warming up even after painkillers so didnt have a complete warm up

afterwards had minimal warmdown as ankle was a pain and i felt like vomiting from the painkillers.
but man, isnt angela just awesome!

so started off alright in the town part, pretty much ran into a pedestrian on way to no.1. ankle was managable, giving pains every 15s or so. lost steam through the middle part, think just lack of proper training last couple of weeks and going out a bit hard. made a mess of exiting the spectator, lost about 25s missing the gap in the unpassable fence and had to go back. relooking at the map i could have kept going to another gap, but didnt see at time
last few controls were agony as were in a steep area with gullys and spurs. couldnt get down one hill slope on ankle so just went down on my bum!
so so disheartened at finish, felt real sick and ankle seized up
