Saturday was paintballing - an activity that resulted in my calves and thighs feeling like they were on fire (from squatting in paintball fear) and several miniature bruises all over the place. The size of the bruises are deceptive - they still hurt!
I suffered from cramp through Saturday night as a result of the paintballing and I think I would have been aching more but the walk on Sunday really helped to sooth my limbs. The reader of this blog will be pleased to know that I too was pleased to get home from Sunday's walk and it was a nice relaxed and tired feeling I had in the afternoon and evening.
This evening I had a go on my turbo trainer. It's the first proper bit of riding I've done this year and it hurt! I did a 5 minute warm up and 5 minute warm down with 25 minutes of "2 minutes easy, 1 minute hard, two minutes easy, 1 minute hard..." sandwiched in the middle. The only thing being that this gradually changed to "2 minutes hard, 1 minute I think I'm going to have a hernia" somewhere along the way.
After the 35 minute session theres only one way to describe the way I felt: NOT VERY WELL.
Lots of work to do here. What's encouraging is that 20 minutes later I felt completely recovered; so I must be doing something right!
