So I went to Chatham this weekend to compete in the Highland Games competition. I was really excited to throw again and was hoping for at least some decent numbers. Well once I got there the day just went downhill.
1. I threw with a group of three other guys, and each of these guys outweighed me by at least 100 pounds each. Not good. I actually looked small compared to these ogres.
2. Although I was throwing better than I had the last competition, I was getting my ass handed to me (except for the Stone Put where I did pretty decent)
3. I had to drop out of the competition with two events to go. During my warm up for the Weight Over Bar, I managed to really screw up my back (enough to where I could barely stand upright) A couple weeks ago I was doing some squatting and tweaked my back a little. It has been sore, but I didn't think much of it. Well I regret that decision now. I could barely move the rest of the weekend.
so yesterday I went to the Chiropractor and he did a bunch of X-rays, and I was surprised to see my spine and pelvis were WAY out of alignment. so he worked me over and hooked my up to an electrical muscle therapy machine and a felt a bit better (I could move at least) I am store very sore and tight today but better than yesterday. I go back for another adjustment in two days.
Hope we can get it worked out. In the mean time he told me I could lift, just take it easy and listen to my body.
