I came off my mtb last monday and landed on my chest. It still hurts now so I’m guessing it is more than a bit of light bruising.
NHS website says don’t bother with hospital so I haven’t. Just taken painkillers as required which isn’t many. Riding outdoors is a problem, I can’t pull on the handlebars. I’ve been on the turbo a few times and it isn’t too bad while I’m riding but I feel sore a few hours afterwards.
I’ve got the national CX champs in mid Jan. I’ll be having a break between 23rd and 2nd in any case. I’m a bit worried I might not be fit enough in any case. Certainly no way I could do a cross race right now!
Anybody got experience/advice on whether it is sensible to try to continue training or if I should just stop now and hope for the best come the new year. Balance between losing fitness and not actually recovering in time.
Also how to stop the hiccoughs, they are killing me.
