Rowing session on Mon triggered a massive migraine and 12 hrs of extreme vertigo
My body seemed to think it was taking part in the Talisker Atlantic Challenge

Re: Injuries.....:(
Considering the years of rowing from dedicated free spirits this injury page is relatively quiet. Since I now have permission from the physio to row at 70% for a week and see how it goes - here is the back story.
Some mild burn in the L quad after a series of speed work sessions before WRICH. Felt better after a few days rest and then felt it again on the final weights session coming up from a squat. With about 10 days to go a mild tear in L quad and mod strain in R quad. Don't fill in the coach on the detail so all training as per the cunning plan. It didn't really seem to bother the rowing much at all. Managed to perform a little better than last years event, finishing with a bronze, but have been banned from rowing since 25th Feb. I have been able to bike and ski or thrash up and down the pool aka swimming. On the plus side, lots of time to rededicate to core sessions, which apparently are important. Excited after another bashing and stabbing from the physio to be allowed to row this week, 70% effort only though. Its a start and we can only get better from here.
