Problems, problems….
Truth is, things haven’t been going well.
Because of my back injury I missed the Team training weekend in the Lake District with Joe Faulkner. An osteopath manipulated me and, while he seems to have fixed my back, he also seems to have created another problem - with my neck!
Before I went in it felt fine, but he said there was something wrong with it, manipulated it. Four visits later it’s still not right.
A couple of weeks ago I rode 65 miles on the Saturday, kayaked on the Sunday and spent the Monday in considerable pain. Because I hadn’t trained for about six weeks, I'd lost a lot of fitness. So I’ve started running again, but I’m really worried about my neck.
The osteopath has been on holiday and I’m due to see him first thing Monday morning, so I really hope he can do something for me. Or I'm going to have to go elsewhere.
We’re meant to be competing in our first training race next weekend (16/17 April). It’s a two day ACE Race in mid-Wales. Frankly I’m not sure I ought to do it with my neck feeling as bad as it is. Also our fell-runner Dominic had the wrong weekend in his diary, and he can’t make the race either. So it may be that only three out of our five strong team can compete in our first race “togther”.
On top of that, we’ve not bothered to sort ferries or a van. Nor have we paid all our race entry fee to the Heb. So naturally we’re getting hassle from the organisers.
All the team complain about being “busy” at work. No-one wants to answer my e-mails, so I can’t organise things on their behalf. Things only get done when I unilaterally decide to sort things out.
We need a manager! And a good osteopath!!
