I did a bike training and a guy cut a tree and drop it 10 foot in front of me. I was driving at arount 22 mil/hr. I use my break and put to much pressure on the front wheel so my front wheel jam and my back wheel come over my head and flip over me. Now I have a left wrist problem and a right showder and rib cage problem. I went to the hospital to make sure nothing was broken and finally everything is fine except my muscle may be. I put a metal rap over my wrist to help me to try to fixe the problem faster. Now I still have problem but I continu my training. Do I have something special I can do. I'm 45 years old. I was supposed to do my first triathlon last week-end but I wasn't able to swim properly so I avoid that competition. Now I ran and I have a problem with my knee and I never have problem before and I have been running for 25 years now so I don't know. I think is to much for my body but I don't want to stop. Do you have a special thing to do?

I had a similar wreck a week ago in a race and I have now have an AC separation and a broken thumb that I'm training through as well as lots of other more minor injuries. I also trashed the cartillage in my rib cage this past winter in a ski fall that I trained through and it was pretty miserable. Last summer I trained through a broken wrist from a bike wreck. So I know what you're going through.

There's no real trick to training through pain. IMO, lots of injuries are fine to train through but some absolutely are not. That decision is one that only you can make.

Thanks for your feed back breckview I realy appreciate it. That's good for my psy training. I realy appreciate it. If you steel have lot of problem I just tell you will be the best at the end. Some people said no pain, no gain. I'm not sure it's right in that case but we don't stop because we like to be in good shape and to do competition.
