Training Log: FJohnson

On and off raining. Rather sluggish

Drugs seemed to work wonders and evidently got all the toxins out. Still feeling a bit tired/ churned so just taking it easy for a few days

Unfortunately, the pain didn't end at the finish yesterday. After a small lie down in the assembly field, there was a slow painful walk up to the car. Reckon I had the slowest split from assembly to car parking field. Managed to eat some food post race but around 6ish started feeling really sick. Proceeded to empty my stomach of the things I had eaten and then it started to really hurt. Probably the most excruciating pain I've ever had. Couldn't really lie down and my body kept wanting to throw up but there was nothing to get rid of in my stomach. Around 12:30, pain was too bad so a trip to Scarborough A&E it was. Luckily got pain and sickness relief with a blood test pretty quickly so the pain went away. But then we had a 9 hour wait in the coldest waiting room imaginable to see a doctor. First hand experience of what state the NHS is in huh. Still was probably worth the wait as there were concerns it could've been appendicitis, which wouldn't have been ideal. Luckily Doc was confident it wasn't but reckons it was gastroenteritis. Reminder kids always clean yourself properly when muddy, even if you're extremely tired. Good to get a blood test too, wasn't too much wrong except I had dry blood (dehydrated). Nice to know that my recent poor performances haven't been caused by a bigger underlying issue.


Obviously this meant I missed the relays. Especially gutted as my team got 3rd. Just seems to be the way at the moment. Surely my luck has to change at some point soon.
