Body Shut Down

February 4, 2011 By James Hill

Every once in a while my body decides what is best for me. I thought heading out to a 6am training session for the PT cert I am doing was the best thing for me this morning.

My body didn’t… I slept straight through the alarm (well, I am not sure if I turned it off).

I was knackered. This week has been ridiculously hot, though I have still be riding too an from work and doing a bit of swimming and paddling on the board. I am thinking the heat may have got to me more than I thought.

I do have a slighly sore hip bone as well. Yesterday on the cycle down to the beach… I had a very excited playful 3 year old run out in front of me on my push bike. I grabbed the brakes so hard I went straight over the handle bars, over the top of the kid and landed in a (somewhat classy) forward roll.

Luckily I managed to totally miss the kid. He was a little shocked but unharmed much to the relief of some very thankful parents.

According to my flat mate Bill, who I was riding with, the whole event looked quite spectacular.

Today has been a very lazy day. Some PT this morning and a lot of sleeping / relaxing on the coach. I might head out for one last swim before the 2km Cole Classic this sunday.
