Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second.

After having so many options for the weekend, I ended up not running at all (except a 1k warm up).

I woke up Sat morning feeling quite tired and the muscles were a little achy. I would have stayed in bed had I not promised to pick up Sportsman. Went for a gingerly warm up with Sub 50 and knew I was coming down with something, so decided to DNS. Offered up my volunteering services and Dave got me to scan bibs as they came across the line.

Good to have a chat to various CR's and it was good to meet Vat.

Whilst I didn't feel too bad, I went home and went to bed - and didn't wake up till 3:30! Boy, I must be sick. I was hopeful it was a 24 hour thing and I could run in my local Cutler Fun Run but Sunday was more of the same i.e. horizontal.

So I didn't get any racing in (or the long run) and my confidence for PMC is waining. I just can't seem to get any momentum with the training lately.

Man you like riding the rollercoaster mate.
All the best for a speedy return to the road. Don't stress about PMC, it'll be there next year, in fact you can run it any old time, it is a fatass run :)

Thanks for doing the scanning, the trial results look pretty good for us to adopt!
