More Pain

Cycled to Explorers and back last night. 

Going there wasnt too bad, but pressure on my wrist gave me a bit of pain. Its like I should have bar endz to reduce torsion on my wrist. 

However, coming back, the pain was almost unbearable, added to which, it was so cold on my hands that in 7 mins, they were numb, and in 10, I couldnt actually use them. 

Got in and had the worst hot aches ever- running around my room screaming. Not pleasant at all. So it looks like the cycling section of the DAR is out. We might have to just run the whole damn thing again, and use it as practice for navigation and leg stamina.

physio on wrist

Sprained the heel of my hand, so its not actually the tendon, more like the ligament.
Not as horrifically bad as I thought, Just have to let my hand rest, not strain it, stretch the wrist and fingers, but not torquing them the wrong way, and ice massage it.
2 weeks off and then be careful for another week or so... and with the stretching, all should be good.

So lots of stretching and Core for the next few weeks.
Thats what Im saying. Lets see if I do it.

Wrist tendon

So ouch.
It appears that the handstand workshop had a bit more of an impact on my wrist than I thought.
Left wrist, tendons on the thumb and index finger hurt considerably when flexed back.
I'm thinking this is lack of flexibility antagonised by considerable hardening up in the grippy direction from a number of years climbing.
They probably need to be stretched progressivly rather than be subjected to 2hours of abuse immediatly.
I've already booked myself into the tumbing course on tuesday, but think I may need the week off to ice it and rest.
If I can cancel I will, but we'll see.
Have been direct icing it, so theoretically, that plus rest should sort me quite soon.
Theoretically.
