make sure to work on your calf muscles
you may have followed the pattern of the athlete who becomes excited with the 'prospect' of what training harder can achieve
so back off and remember it is getting the talent to the line in a healthy manner
my major concern is keeping balance
in retrospect it would have been better to have an easy day on Sunday, as the muddy grass sections would have placed more stress on the calf muscles. A 2hr ride would probably have been excellent
the calf muscles support the ankle area and the long run would have done the calf muscles no favours
hopefully a few easy days will have it solved but try to focus on calf muscle recovery .. from tomorrow do the alphabet with your toes to work the ankle area (and other areas)
keep me informed

ps.. 16:47 is by no means terrible considering the course
