I was thrown from a horse on Friday and landed pretty hard on my lower back. It hurt and although I was able to get back on the horse, I was in significant pain, mostly down one buttock and leg. Today, as I still couldn't put weight on it very easily I went to A & E who suspected a fracture! Fortunately it wasn't that bad and it was just a severe contusion and distortion of the spine, (it sounds worse than it is) so I did not need to stay in. Phew!
Exerise this week will be limited to swimming and cycling I think, as they are both low impact. I am due to meet some friends for a ride on Friday so hopefully things should be feeling better by then.
On the plus side, I have to go to Bavaria on a work issue for three day. Lovely. It's one of my favourite parts of the world!
Thank you Lisa. I am feeling a lot less sore today and am just a little stiff, but the swimming is helping loads.
Triathlons aren't insane, only the people who do them are!
