Some great write ups here this week (esp Cheque)...
M: Wisdom tooth removal pain. Felt ferked. Neck and shoulders incredibly stiff. What was that dentist doing to me....
T: Still aching (jaw and neck) - feeling generally run down and done it. Was this the sedation still? or the AB's I was given?
W: Wanting to try and keep some form of fitness - went to Logport wall at lunchtime. Struggled up a few V4's. Oddly seemed to have incredible (for me) endurance on some problems... who knows...
Thu: Tired. Still. Jaw aching... Not slept properly all week. Sleep from 10 > 3 then lie awake until dozing off at about 6...
Fri: Pick up friend from York - head over to Ingleton to do the three peaks... feeling sceptical about potential performance due to lack of sleep and general crapness post wisdom tooth outage... Still on ibuprofen to take away the jaw pain...
Sa: Three Peaks day. Up at 6:45 - started from Hill in at 7:45am. Superb weather - cool, little wind. Storm up Inglerough in less than an hour. In the cafe at Horton for 10am for breakfast
Minor blister forming on toe - compeed applied.
After a sausage and egg sandwich, get up Pen-y-gent in an hour. The Schlep down from there to below Whernside takes forever.. Neil has a cheeseburger from the dirty burger van near the viaduct - I have an ice cream. General hip and groin aches - nothing serious.
Long slog up Whernside.. takes about 1:40... cold wind picks up near the top and my left knee (well bits below left knee) start to seize up.. Fine along the top, but really hard on the descent. Have to shuffle down steps - can't weight left knee when dropping
I move at the pace of the old people in front of us creeping down... finally make it to flat and get a bit more of a move on. Final push to the Hill inn.
Finished in 8 Hours 58min... Very pleased considering I (or Neil) had done any training for this... Head out for curry, beer and then collapse about 10pm after walking around Ingleton like John Wayne...
Su: Potter (still walking like John Wayne) up to Malham - have a cup of tea and head home. Lie on sofa and unsuccessfully demand pity and comfort from MrsTT...
Jaw still feeling bad. Getting fed up / concerned about popping ibuprofen to combat... should it still be hurting 10 days on? Moan moan, chunter chunter
