So I did that run and cycle last weekend and felt pretty positive about it. I mean my lack of fitness was there for anyone to see but at least I was able to move and it felt so good just being out and about doing something for a change.
That was Sunday.
By about Tuesday (after a swim) things started to get a bit sore. as each day passed my back seemed to sink further and further in to a hole. It culminated yesterday in me spending the day hopping between the floor and the couch looking for relief. No exercise, no training plan ticks, no t-shirts, no medals (yesterday was the Bupa 10,000 I'd been looking forward to), no sense of achievement. Boo.
Today I met with my chiropractor again who said due to some long drive (to Cardiff for Heineken Cup Final) and possibly some latent response to the long run/cycle combination my back had locked up. He's now "fixed" it - all evidence to the contrary I have to say given how I actually feel - but I 'm commited at this point, I mean it's not like I can go back 2 months and say uninstall all the remedial work he's done.
It's hard to know ultimately whether he's helped or not. I'm not back to normal, I'm frustrated and I don't seem to have that confidence that it will be remedied soon. I've got Blenheim Triathlon in two weeks time and have to say, if it were tomorrow or even this weekend I'd have to pull out.
Not a happy camper.
