Well, sort of Happy New Year... I didn't blog last week as (a) it was Christmas Day and I was A Bit Busy and (b) I am injured yet again so it would have been a bit more whingeing...
To sum it up very briefly: Back very strained after Christmas Pudding race, sought physio advice, told to REST properly, also told to seek second podiatrist opinion, did so, second one said first orthotics way too aggressive, causing back pain. Apparently it's my sacroiliac joint, which at least is something I haven't strained before...
So, I haven't run, swum or biked for ten days, my back is still really uncomfortable and I'm rapidly going off podiatrists. I shall continue with the 'stretching cat' type exercises and the heat packs, and hope that it gets better SOON!
Will I make it to the start line of the Ice Breaker? I really don't know...
In the meantime, and in the spirit of all good Review Of The Year thingies, here are my highs and lows of 2011:
Best result: Completing two Mud Runners - Yay!
Worst performance: Ooh, which one to choose? There are so many... I think it's a heat between the triathlon with the brakes jammed on and the other triathlon where I didn't tighten my front wheel... Clearly I need to go on a bike maintenance course.
Best Mud: Classic Mud Runner in October. Hopefully in the future there will be video evidence of me going SPLAT on my face...
Best Team: The original Mud Running Team, of course!
Best photo: This really sums up 2011 - great team, great mud, great fun!
Happy New Year, everyone!
