Finished the run this year which was surprising as more often then not,(3 X out of 4 races),had problems on the downhill stretch to Cox's river at 12-13km.
This time I was fortunate and only sprained my Right ankle when stepping between 2 rocks.
The first time I fell here about 20 years ago-I was 4 wheel driven out after breaking the same ankle in roughly the same place-about 1km earlier.
This year it was a relief to get to the river crossings and cool ankle off.I went on running up until about 25km and realised that I was going to finish in a time even as slow as last years
run.I decided the best thing was to walk the last 20km and save further injury to the ankle.
I also had problems with the toes and today Sunday have stiffness in shoulders,legs,(which got cold from stopping)but at least I should be back running after a week or two off.
