Go-KL One year on from the last race I did and so much had changed. I was traveling the world as part of the F1 circus. In May I finally had my double anterior and posterior compartment syndrome operation, which was a success but required a slow and patient recovery. This though I was happy to do, as apart from the pain from the scar tissue breaking up - the operation was a success. By August I was running regularly as demanded by the doctors but I had another problem - an overactive thyroid which made it initially impossible to exercise and then very difficult when I was prescribed with rev-limiting beta-blockers. Still I was happy to be running and by November the thyroid was setting down nicely and I decided to run this race as a fitting comeback race. Wearing a huge neoprene calf strap to help protect the shin I set off much as I did the year before and was even able to run a 6:30 mile. By 8 though the general lack of fitness and an awareness that I didn't want to push my luck caught up with me and I sauntered in to run my third slowest ever half marathon - but in many ways the most satisfying one.
