Things keep taking me by surprise, Trev, i'm not so sure this Achilles problem isn't linked to the little Plantar Fascia type issue i had a few months ago. Things in the tissue chain look to have become overloaded in some way, and it's probably linked to my trying to use a forefoot strike when the ground suits. I'm planning on coming over for the KWL Elterwater Common race; since the loss of Austwick this is the one i like the best out of the counters, but Arant Haw is top notch. There's plenty of time to get tripped up before Sedbergh Gala, but if i can be there i will be there.
