Well this could very easily be described as bad timing. I'd had a relatively solid 4 weeks of training after London tri, but unfortunately seem to have aggravated something in my ankle a little over a week ago which has put me completely out of running and in a bit of discomfort on the bike.
With Budapest coming up next week this really wasn't what I was after, but will just have to see how it takes me. I'm also due to be racing Waveney Tri tomorrow - this was intended to be a final sharpener for Buda, but I will now see how I feel when it gets to T2 as to whether I continue or not...
For the Sprint Worlds there's such a small gap between positions that everything has to be spot on. I think if I race like I did a couple of times at the start of the season I can be right up there - top 3. This has proved itself to be my distance, so I just want to do it justice and really nail the race.
Earlier in the month I did a 5k PB in 16.50. I'd run 16.58 during a 10k so knew I should be sub 17, but reassuringly I know there's more time to come. It just felt a bit rushed and my form felt a bit poor, but if it's another 3 years before I run a 5k like it was this time let's hope it's a bit more than a handful of seconds I knock off.
I didn't know you kept a blog! :)
