afternoon
chilling out at home
a few more bumps & bruises have emerged, but nothing serious.
I was wearing a helmet btw - a fact which apparently was officially recorded when I went to the walk-in centre - that surprised me.
The bike is still at the premises outside where I had the accident - will collect tomorrow. It wasn't worth that much & may not be worth repairing - I was on the point of getting a hybrid to use to cycle to work anyway. The real damage, so far as I'm concerned, is the loss of what is currently my only source of aerobic exercise. Whether I can get a replacement in the time available to me tomorrow remains to be seen.
Phoned the solicitors just before to make a claim - the woman I spoke to seemed to be almost begging me to admit to symptoms of whiplash.
BR - golden spell in 2004, injury problems since, and currently struggling with a lower leg soft tissue injury - maybe we have more in common than I thought.
The injury is obviously significantly affecting your FLM preparation, and will continue to do so until it heals.
Even though you seem to have lightened up somewhat in recent months in terms of your attitude to training, only you know whether, in the light of your current problems, you can adjust your expectations as necessary for this, the biggest event in your racing calendar.
If you don't think you can, drop out now. If you do think you can, you might still get something positive out of it all. But it could involve resigning yourself to, say, 2:48 at best. From what you've already said, and from what I know of you on here, I suspect you'd find even that very difficult to accept.
