So, despite being ludicrously tired last night I went to Aikido anyway, thought I'd ask for an nice gentle session. Get there to find Blacknell Sensei has come down from Edinburgh and his Aikido's really great, but I just can't keep up with him. So I didn't get to ask for my easy session and then spent about half of it running away from him, and then since I was way overtired I did something stupid with the one person I should know not to. It's not that she's good, she's not, IMO she's pretty bad and ungraded but doesn't act like it because her boyfriend's a black belt. Her boyfriend's actually really nice as a matter of fact, but she really gets on my nerves, I don't like practising with her if I can avoid it. Yesterday I didn't and ended up paired with her while we were trying to escape a particular technique - always a bit dodgy - I probably would have been alright if I hadn't been so tired, but judgement impaired I didn't just let her win as I usually do, I tried to twist out and if it had been a black belt or one of the other newbies they probably would have just let go, she didn't. I've now done the tendons in my wrist, just in time for a weekend course *sigh*
I am stupid when I'm so completely overtired, I probably shouldn't have even gone to the session last night, but I wanted to confirm the travel plans for the weekend course and I didn't anticipate the visitors being there.
Either way, my wrist is really sore and keeps tweaking all the time. A brace won't help particularly because it's not that kind of injury, it won't stop me twisting and that's what I need. I don't know whether heat or cold would be better for it - I think heat as that should make them relax right? Anyway I suspect I'll just be going ow a lot and I'll wrap it up at the course, I doubt it'll help or hinder the wrist, but it will tell everyone else that the wrist is injured therefore they really should be nice to me... or I'll cry.
