Well Brighton was scorchio. Felt awesome for the first couple of miles then on the first descent through town I felt a twinge in my right calf that got progressively worse, and felt like cramp. Battled on and kept the 3:15 pacer behind me until about the 15 mile mark then just couldn't keep a reasonable pace. Overtaken by 3:30 in the last 2 miles to finish, 3:33 :( didn't take medal.
Calf is now swollen beyond all recognition and bright red, whatchareckon muscle tear?
