Nice run Hatbeard. Good pace that. Was checking it out on Strava.
I did 5km yesterday. On sheet ice most of the way. Which handly prevented any overstriding. Could have, and wanted to, do much much more. But I was careful. Achilles felt OK. Sore today. But not in a worrying way.
I've decided on some epically Bright New shoes to fix this. Bit more support and cushioning than my Skora. But apparantly still quite flexi.
I've realised that all the tri's that I could manage the swim in. Have really short runs. Which means running fast. Piss. There really should be a 1/2km swim, 200km ride, 20km run triathlon for us old types. Pretty sure one has a 8.5km ride WTF?. Not sure I can be arsed even taking my wetsuit off for 8.5km.
