New Forest Middle Distance Tri - Interim Report

DNS - lurgy.  Am vexed.  despaer had a good session until the run started spanking.  More and loads of piccies when I feel up to it.  Koff bleh.

I can now hardly walk either up or down anything as my legs have done exactly what they did at Wimbleball. Only this time, there wasn't really any reason other than the fact that I wasn't quote fit enough. 1.9k, 90k, about 5-10k and I would have been in business...

Much respect, by the way to Andy who despite being sick (and probably fed right up) stayed to see me in. And then gave me a lift back to my car with my stuff. Thanks!

Well, I think it's good that you decided not to do it, it'd have been a terrible experience to race with a cold. There are plenty more races, you've done the training - that's the important bit!

Get better soon!

6:24:01. 202nd out of about 320 and it looks like everyone struggled with the run. Unfortunately doesn't disguise that fact that I would still have done better if i had been appropriately fit for the event though, but not too bad in the end

Sorry the lurgy spoilt your Tri. Hope you feel better soon.

Not bad at all. Now for the winter season. :)

Ugh. That sucks. Though I admire your wisdom in realizing that a DNF and two weeks laid up with the extended dance-mix lurgy would have been much, much worse.

It's the bass solo in the middle that always gets to me.
