Training Log Archive: Bomb

went dirt jumping (does this count as training? it was hard work!) at bardon with dan, simon and kirra. was finally starting to get the hang of the jumping thing and getting air without scaring the shit out of myself when I put my back out riding over the smallest lump of dirt in the place. had serious trouble just getting off the bike. grrr.
lots of stretching when I got home, and lots of work with the tennis ball to fix the muscles in my back and it seems to be getting a bit better.

C • what is dirt jumping? is it... 3

mtb at gap creek. the sun finally came out today, so went out to gap creek for a cruisy ride with kirra. got off to a really bad start when I lent against a tree with a wasps nest in and got attacked by a swarm of them - ended up with about 20 bites... f-ing hurt!! and in running away from the wasps I managed to bash one leg on a log and put my chain ring through the other calf (they're really sharp!) more ouch. the wasp bites didn't take too long to settle down, and the rest of the ride was really fun.

sick again. back to the doc. more blood tests (going to end up anaemic soon as well at this rate).
