I suppose that's to be expected but that doesn't mean I like it. I have beat the shit out of my leg for the last 24 hours and while it has improved immeasurably, it's probably not gonna be ready for tomorrow. Right now it feels very bruised from the muscle stripping I've been self administering. In case you've never heard of that it's a very aggressive massage kind of thing, wherein you drag your fingers/thumbs/palms along the length of the muscle while applying a lot of pressure. I learned how to do it from a physiotherapist a few years ago. It hurts like mad, and is very hard to do to oneself for that very reason. Never the less I did it, and while it has clearly removed most of the cramp, it has also left me sore in a different way.
But I do intend on trying it in the morning, even though most of the promised sunshine seems to be a little in doubt now. We shall see. If I can't get it in the tomorrow so be it, and I won't try again before the race…that's a week Sunday.
I did have a nice little swim today. Enough at least to reduce my inactivity anxiety to a manageable level.
I'm going to bed now. Peace, joy and happiness!!
Easy bike, 45 mins, swim 2000 metres
….and ain't this the truth??
