Crash! (part two)

I've got another injury! God, this getting fit lark is bad for your health. This time it's a kayaking injury to my back, after over-exertimg myself on Skye at the weekend.

The Osteopath I saw today manipulated me in three places, adjusting my cervical, dorsal & lumbar spine and right sacro-iliac joint. I now have a sheet of paper which tells me how I have to stand, sit and sleep, plus listing all the things I can't do.

Top of the list is sport, which rules out the Adventure Racing course I'm meant to be doing at the weekend with the rest of TeamTGO. They'll still be going (http://www.JoeFaulkner.com) but I've postponed my course until May. Let's hope I'm fit by then!

Only good point is the Osteopath's "No" list also includes ironing and bed making. Mind you, Liz will confirm, I don't do much of either....

Calm before Storm

Occupying my more immediate thoughts is the prospect of kayaking in a gale this weekend. In contrast to the superb clam weather we enjoyed last weekend (CLICK LNK ABOVE) we've agreed to be "guinea pigs" for some kayakers who're doing their 5 star assessment this weekend with Gordon Brown of Skyak Adventures.

As part of their award, they have to lead kayakers in fairly rough conditions - so that ought to be easy to find!

If we survive, I'll report back!

Also... we've entered our first race as a team. We'll compete in the Wales ACE Race in April. Robyn has been in one of these things before, although it's the first time the rest of us have taken part, so it should be a laugh.
