Update?

well not much of an update really as not much has happened.
did a test run and lasted 800m before pain set in.
800m!!!!!
the physio was wanting me to have another cortisone this time via xray or ultrasound guidance - but he has been away this week so havent had a chance to speak.
plan is to do nothing until i return from a little holiday in beijing/HK which would mean almost 3 months since alpine and 4 months since things first flared up.

succumed to temptation and got an MRI after the physio worried me the pain could be something else.
didnt show anything other than some inflammation between the itb and epicondyle/femur so in other words itbfs.

the gear finally arrived!
its all good stuff - picked the right sizes etc...
thanks for the comment re down getting wet 2p - i guess thats also why it is the new fleece as both are crap in that respect.
the puffy jacket does have a water repellant thingy tho.

did CP duty at glasshouse last weekend and was thinking of going to warwick this weekend before me and TOH decided to go investment property shopping yesterday.
hardly saw another person all day!!
so it would either be a very good time to buy.
....or a very bad time to buy :)
quite a lot of people who were selling were investors.
