That was a waste of time. Wasn’t right warming up...wasn’t right striding. Was unable to give a fair reflection of the fitness I’m in. I’m down to get some injections in my back later tonight.

My season is over now, ending in injury. From the minute the gun went to the second I crossed the line, my left hamstring and calf were locked in a ball. As I type this right now, my lower back is in spasm.

I was in the physical shape to go through...I ran what I feel was a good tactical race but when it came to hit top speed with 150 to go my body just would not do it. I felt like I was running the entire race with the handbrake on.

Reale is racing one more race I believe and hopefully he comes away happy.

As for me, I’m heading off into the winter months so full of frustration and anger at my body that I think I’m going to explode.

Thanks for the texts etc and for following throughout the year.

Best of luck.
