Oh the fatigue

3 Replies

The only thing better than having a good day out doing acrobatics on the white Water course is to have a decent photographer there so you can image craft the moves afterwards. This dynamic move is a cartwheel, but alas the freestyle kayakers amongst you will have noticed the ruse. you see it's easy to get the nose of the boat down and then t water lifts the tail up but alas the twisting your body round and making the boat follow is where the hard work is done and must be done before flushing out of the wave hole and going downstream. Here I'm flushing out and my dreams of being a freestyle kayak champion are flushing with them.

For the first six months of the year I felt great, i was fit, losing weight, full of energy and really happy. But somewhere things changed and I've no idea where.

I moved house and the effort and stress of that could have affected me. Lots of boxes to get moved and no end of stuff being screwed in or replaced.

I drunk lots of coffee on a trip to Italy, they do like their strong flavours there. It certainly affects me as I feel almost fine after coffee, for every up side there is a down side.

Do I have some underlying condition? A cold will certainly affect me lots.

I'm falling asleep in the middle of the day and spend far too much time staring at my phone but without much energy to do anything more.

I'd book an appointment at my gp but I've no idea what to say to them it's all quite vauge.

Turns out living with a head injury is tricky, good thing we have Instagram to make everything look okay :)

Moving house, Italian trip, white water acrobatics...…. phew Jonathan, no wonder you're falling asleep. Would inspirational but slightly bonkers be a fair summing up ?!!

Fatigue is a huge issue and stays with you , it will become a new normal but I have found with increased concentration and activity it can be a lot more intense. I had to leave work as I was coming home and too exhausted to talk to anyone . Just take breaks. Get some fresh air or meditate for a few mins it helps.
