Bah Humbug

Injured again! I have a sore leg after playing rugby on Saturday. It just appeared near to the end of the game, I think it may be a fatigue problem caused by going for a 60Km ride immediately before the game and playing on a very heavy mud sodden pitch. I do not recall getting a knock on it and it just appeared whilst I was trying to run. The back of my knee has cramped up which makes it hard to walk. No running for a couple of days I think which means the focus will again be on Swimming and Riding.

We had a great group ride on Saturday morning but it was cold and it turned out that there was some black ice lingering on the road which took out 4 members of our group. One poor girl has fractured her elbow and will require surgery on it to ensure it heals well. I feel very sorry for her, she did look in pain and went a bit white to boot. We managed to get a good speed up and kept the group together on a few of the long drags which was great to see. We decided that we shall try and get closer to each other riding next time out and rotate the head which will be good practice and will help me for next time I am out with the cycle club!
