JSM's first Sports Event

I had a brilliant weekend supporting two mountain bike teams to complete the Original Source Mountain Mayhem event. It was a 24 hour race and they had four people in a team. They had to constantly ride the 11 mile track as a relay over 24 hours.

I offered pre-event (warm up) and post-event (cool down) massages to seven of the lads from a tent in our designated camping area.

The lads loved the massage treatments; some of them came to see me before and after each lap, others just came in occasionally when they were experiencing aches and pains or cramp. Particular problem areas included the lower back, quads, ham strings and calfs.

I got excellent feedback – they even gave me a medal!
