A cut between my fingers where some bracken got caught and dragged between (looks nothing hurt like hell)
Gauze bush rash on both legs

I have the weird ache in my foot as well, possibly not enough walking training for this ride

Oh and a blister the size of a 10p on my heel, all the rest feels good though

Wasn't that when you touched the water heater? Didn't look like you enjoyed it. ;)

As for me, achillies is completely screwed, can't move my foot from horizontal at all. Right calf very sore, but getting better. Other than that just general bruises from a couple of offs, nothing major.

Have tried that a couple of times, still not convinced it does anything.

- An arse that looks like I sat on a landmine.
- Right knee won't support any weight.
- Left achilles swollen and hurty.
- Finger blister from overuse of my chain tool (6 times the bloody thing snapped!!!).

Not a bad haul.

Where on earth are you buying your chains from, scrap-chains-r-us? Do be sure to let us all know so we can avoid whatever it is you bought!

Just achey - wouldn't classify myself as injured. still very slight cold that I had before I started - severe lack of sleep I'm getting over, and some light grazing etc. from pushing through foliage/gorse/bog etc.

Otherwise OK Image

Right achilles & left hip both pretty sore, undoubtedly from all the hiking/bogtrotting.

Well last Wednesday I was xrayed to check fractures in my pelvis and lower spine - had some muppet decide he was going to drive into me at a roundabout. Unfortunately this meant I couldn't lift my right leg too well.

As I already set me head to complete bb200 I decided to give it a go. The consultant didn't recommend it - but I said to be fair it's not a ride anyone would ever really recommend. He said to rest and mobilise as pain allows....

Turns out with decent pain killers that's actually quite far - very proud of my green badge :D

Double Kudos Wenchie!

Turns out my ankles really are quite tender - just went out for a lunchtime wander. At least the hobble has gone (I think due to crash, my right leg compensated for the left a little bit).

Well done girl, only 5 women have ever finished ... not sure if that sounds sexist but not bothered if it does.

Bit of a swollen ankle today after going over on it during a spot of tussock yomp. It's usable, but looks like I'm hiding a small apple in there when I tip my foot forward.

Everything is still coming out purple

Meta-analysis agrees with you - https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Br ... 5f2612.pdf

However, it gave me chronic hand cramps. They started soon after I drank the first litre (I drank 4 litres over 4 days), stopped during BB200, and started again after I drank some more on the way home (I was thirsty and it was all I had in the car).

I won't be drinking it again.
