2) Visit to Atlas Chiropractic

I went to see my chiro on Tuesday evening after the race. By then still had soreness mainly over the quads, and a little tightness of the hams. Left knee pain had almost totally gone, phew! Didn't want a repeat of the ITB problem I had last time out.

Had me up on the table and gave me the once over. Hip was out of alignment he said, contributing to a limb length discrepancy (L>R). Did the usual side-pulling with all the crackling coming from the nether regions of the back and hips. Don't ask me how it works, but it works! The hip and quad pain significantly reduced with a 5-minute procedure. Next, worked on my ankles, again the twisting and crackling. Last, worked his way up to my shoulders. Now, I hadn't mentioned my shoulder and upper back cramps during the race, but Terence picked up on it straight away. More pulling and crackling.

All in all, felt looser and less achy after the session. Terence asks for some advice on training, wants to do the full next Dec! Gotta to remember to send him some stuff.
