We climbed for a mile or some then took a left hand turn and I looked up and said 'oh f*ck' and the marshall at the junction said "just put your head down love, it's a bad one" but then about 20 seconds later I got cramp and had to stop and the lovely guy came to check on me..
Marshall - "cramp, love"?
H - "errr yeah"
Marshall - "is it still spasming"?
H - "look" (points at calf)
Marshall - "oh dear, I think you'd better stretch out before tackling that" (points at steep hill)
LOL!!
Hey Holgs, well done to you!! Buxton is blinkin' hilly! I think I live in the hilliest county in the country!
I've done bugger all for a week now (except buy some speedplay light action pedals and order some shoooos from the LBS)
I'm seriously wibbling over the oulton park duathlon next sunday as am so busy at work that training seems unimaginable and also it's a field of 200 so I know I'll be last
Well done everyone! We have been busy bees.
Yeah my shiny new shoes got very muddy but they needed braking in. I've had a little sleep. I hurt therefore I am.
Nam - I hope your alright and good on you for telling on the chav!
Wwwooo Stockport 10 get in!

Colourin - How to turn, it'll save you loads of time in pools Tris.
Thanks Double O, need all the help I can get in that department!
It's really that easy but it takes a bit of learning.
think i must of caught your eating habit! Not stopped since I got back!
And please don't think I was having a go about the shiny shoes thing, It was just a weather comment really, I would have been exactly the same in your shoes - haha, pardon the pun!
4 meals so far and chocolate - should be fine tomorrow.
No worries Colourin.
Hell yeah, can't wait.
Aitch, hope the calf is ok today and there is no ill effects from the bad cramp !?
Nam, the hills will have done you the world of good - strength building.
Thanks Rose that is good to hear. I'm feeling very
today after 4 hours in casulty last night and being back to sqaure one knee wise. At least I've got surgery to look forward to so the 'getting better' bits in sight. I've been told by the consultant that my knee is heading fast towards arthritic but I've always been able to tollerate pain in my knees, so as long as they can sort it so I can run i'll be grand. I'm not going to worry just focus on what I want to achieve. Hubby has signed up for the pre registering IMUK so I'll just concentrare on supporting him next year and then holding his hand while he gets his tattoo 
.
Thanks again
Well done Aitch as well.
Big Hugs to Sprocket.
I had both cartliges out in each knee aged nine, and about 8 years ago I gave up playing football after tearing my ACL for the second time in the left knee ( only once so far in the right ), the consultant actually told me that if I'd received one more bad tackle I would probably have to wear a structured knee brace for everyday walking and give up playing sport. I underwent a hell of a lot of physio, rested lots and came back much stronger - hell I now do IM's. I guess what I'm trying to say that all though today is a dark day it will get better, and you will get stronger. And we're here to support you as well.
Take care Sprocket.
Thank you so much
Its been a rotten day with the world and its wife assuming I did my knee running and wasn't it time I gave up my running/tri (don't you just love the mums at school with rich husbands who sip tea all day and instruct the cleaner..) . One person said 'your a mother for goodness sake isn't it time you stopped this stupidity!' 
I love running, it keeps me sane after a day in school, and I loved Tri even more! I will be off my crutches and kicking some bums very soon lol!
On the sprockers front, cake, Harry decided, on the wander from the car to school to get Becs, that if he couldn't hold my hand he'd 'help with my sticks' and so he did. I nearly knocked him out as he helped me each step of the way
Bless him! Mr S even did the ironing! Winner!!!!
evening all
Any of you fellow flaps going out on Sunday morning with Manchester Tri club?
Just about, not got out running yet. I have lots of swimming planned for tomorrow. I'm glad we put in the miles I feel a lot better about the Half Marathon now.
I've sent you an e-mail. Do you fancy a few 10 mile time trials in the summer?
I wasn't sure where to put this but..
a HUGE thank you to Cougie and Tim for the fantastic Pirate support on sunday at Oulton Park
and in particular for cheering me over the finish line despite me being almost last
Thanks Guys you were awesome!
Almost last is not last.
You're making me feel quite fat and lazy with all this exercise! Well done Cally!
