I think I can safely say I will be spectating at the C100 whichever the date is !!

So when im sweating my proverbials off on May18th, I will look back on this weekend and think how usefull my training was, having frozen my aforementionables on the bike saturday and then had a freezing run that developed into a swim on sunday

Great news.. at least i now have a good reason why i am not on timetable with my running  .. knackered my right achilles  .  

Bad luck Slag ... I tore mine about 8 years ago now and still suffer, you can manage it but you need to be very strict with yourself but its by no means the end of the road

Bad luck Slag - but i've knackered my left ankle - maybe we could enter as a three-legged race??

i've knackered my left knee too......

I tore a calf in preparation for my first IM.  You can work around it and focus on the other elements but you must do your stretches etc.  Assuming you've seen someone about this, Slag, and that they have given you exercises to make it better?

Hope the physio has some good news for you Slag!

Thanks Raf ... should have an answer on that in a few hours ...
