40 Minutes Recovery,5.5 Miles approx, Physio & Glory for Staffs
Went to see the physio first thing. I got a female physiotherapist for the first time in 2 years of BUSA competition (hot too!). I told her about my hip (which hurts in the knee raise action, so doing a sprint was probably the worst idea ever), and she tried trigger point release therapy on my left buttock. Touch wood, it seemed to do the trick! It felt so good in fact that I got a 40 minute recovery run in around the park near Scotstoun Stadium in my NB 832's, also managing to accompany Weir for his warm-up & cool-down. The hip & buttock still felt a bit stiff, but it has been pummelled over the last couple of days & I definitely wasn't carrying it.On the BUSA front, it was a pretty good day for our university. Rich Weir ran 3:53 in his 1500m final (12th place), only 2 seconds off his PB and 3 seconds off 5th place! Apparantly he 'ran beyond his abilities, according to his coach. Thats the same thing my coach said to me about my run, but I'm not really sure how its possible to do that, I thought by definition one could only run as fast as one is capable of doing do. Maybe I'll get it one day! Laura Davenport recorded her first sub 4:35 clocking, placing 8th overall in the women's 1500m final.
Terribly long drive home today. Finally got home at 00:15, after numerous delays on the leg down to Stoke, but my fastest Stoke to Reading clocking ever. Thank God for the M6 Toll Road. I'm grateful to be sleeping in my own bed tonight. The ones in the Premier Travel Inn were shockingly small & uncomfortable.
On reflection, I'm pretty happy with how my last outing in a Staffs Uni vest went. I spent some quality time with some quality mates, and got a quality result (for me) in the bargain. If I get my representation money back, It will make for a darn good weekend, as I didn't get it back last time.
FEAR THE WEIR...STAFFS ARMY!!!
