BBQ Stakes #84 (reverse #20)...

yesterday was an unplanned rest day...I walked the boys as usual but then bused in and didn't run at lunch as my left leg was out of sorts...

last night we had dinner at Rashays in Belconnen Mall with Jodie & Lisa before seeing Pitch Perfect 3...it was a great night!

this morning I walked the boys before riding in...my leg was good...

the stats:
start temp/humidity: 17.6/69% (apparent temp same)

total distance: 16.60
total time: 42:32 (including 0:25 stopped time)

a bit slow but I think there was a deceptive headwind...

no rabbit for BBQ Stakes as Wednesdays don't exit on holidays!

conditions were quite pleasant...I started off a bit easier than normal but knew it was going to be a struggle when I had to walk up the steeper bit after the FIRST underpass...ended up being a jog with walks up the steeper bits as I finished all but last...

it's hard to nail down the issue - my knee and calf are tight (not sore) but my ankle was burning on the outside of my heel...it feels like I don't have any power to push off...I haven't done anything to it in the last couple of days (i.e. trip, fall or roll my ankle) so I'm off to the physio tomorrow afternoon...luckily there was a cancellation right before I called...my usual place (The Sports Medicine Centre) has closed so my current physio (Cameron) now works out of Kingston Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Centre...
