12th December 2014

Almost it for another year.

Struggling with a foot injury.  I have a Mortons Neuroma in my right foot.  Basically a tutor on the nerve between the metatarsals.  Silicone toe stretchers every night will hopefuly fix it.  If not its the injection....

Hence no running for a couple of weeks.  I have started easy jogging over last week so we'll see how I get on.

Did the Norwich half in November.  Horrible conditions.  Did a 1:45:48.  It's a PB but I know I can go so much quicker.  It was freezing, pouring down with rain and windy.  Most unpleasant race I've ever done.  Ankle deep in water within the first quarter mile wasn't good.  First 5mile I was cruising along at 7:30 pace.  Then the hill for half a mile before another mile through a sodden show ground.  By the time I got to 7 mile I was shot to pieces.  Really struggled for the last 6mile.  Never mind another one in the bag.

I sold my TT bike - Trinity.  Bit sad.  I got £650 for her which isn't bad.  Bought her in April 2008.  Thousands of happy miles and memories.  2 ironmen.  6 halfs.  Loads of TT's, sprints and Oly's.

Bye Trinity :



On the plus side I've have ordered a new bike.  I'm getting a Planet X Exocet 2.

Can't wait to get riding.
won't be updating for a while.  Xmas coming up and then I'm off skiing!

So Merry Xmas and a happy new year.
