Recovery week gone missing
Well recovery week has come and gone, and to be honest I don’t feel all that recovered. I feel like i missed all the benefits. Yes, training was down in intensity and duration, yet i still feel pretty beat up and not all that ready to start it all again tomorrow for Monday night’s home trainer session. I had a massage on Friday for the first time in ages, which obviously helped, but i think the fact that I haven’t had one for a while meant i didn’t come up as well as I would have hoped from that.
Add in my umpiring appointment from today’s football match which was played in pretty ordinary conditions on an extremely heavy ground has left my legs feeling really heavy. It was probably the hardest game i have had to umpire in years, given the condition, the nature of the game and the way in which the two teams went about it. So it didn’t just leave me physically fatigued but also mentally too.
Only two weeks left of football for this season though, and I am looking forward to seeing whether my season continues on for another week or hopefully two. I’ll find out Tuesday night at training.
Time to sleep, tomorrow the next three hard weeks begin again.
