SWBKRUN- Miles and Miles ahead!!!! CLOSED (Page 186)

jvanis - 2010-03-09 9:35 PM Out of surgery and home.  The surgeon said things went well although there was excess blood in my wrist due to a sprain.  There was a bit of tearing of a tendon but not bad.  They did a block numbing so i cannot feel my right arm at all.  it is just dead weight.  Rather crazy and akward.  The screw went well although surgery ran a bit long. 

We will wait  a week to see if i need a splint or cast next week when i go in for post op follow up.  On some good drugs that will keep me from pain hopefully.

Very odd feeling thst my hand is almost asleep and feels frigid cold but to the touch it is toasty. 

Thanks for the thoughts again.  recdovery week of video games blogs boards and movies!

I joined the Inside-Out Sport Delta Triathlon team. Basically I get discounts at the tri store, a tri jersey, and a long sleeve jersey. My coach is a sponsor of the group so I get 20% off his fees and it paid for itself already.

So I picked up the jersey and the shirt. Both are really nice so I was wearing the shirt and on the front it says:



My 9 year old son sees this and says "Dad, they mis-spelled "Idiots" on your shirt."

Made my night.

SSMinnow - 2010-03-10 5:57 AM Yoo-Hoo, who's racing this weekend?????? the scoop please!

For those of us still on the sidelines let's start working on mental preparation and think about our next race (run, tri or other), what is the number one thing you want to nail?

GOOD LUCK RACERS!!!!

no racing for me.  booooo.  

mental game question... good.   easy out on the bike as lone star.  then regardless of the weather, stay where i think i can run 10's.  i'll be very happy w/ that although i'm well aware this is a lofty goal.  not that i can't run this, obviously i can, but damn that bike is so important out on the long course.  we shall see. ;-)

Hey I'll jump in and agree with that thought. I may get outside this weekend.....I have been riding hard on the trainera ll winter. Ridden way more this winter than I ever have. Working hard in my bike classes. But I would be lying if i didn't say that I'm literally crapping my pants thinking about riding 90k outside in 45 days.

tahrens - 2010-03-10 10:52 AM Hey DC people, what's up with moving the date of the Army 10 miler???   Now it's at the end of October, one week before the MCM, but more importantly I probably can't do it now!!!

Glen, I really like my Garmin 305...it was actually a very good investment.  Have had it now since Dec. 2007 and it has held up well.  I think it can be purchased right now for about $155 on amazon.  If you are going to get one anyway, it might be better not to spend the extra money on something else during the interim...then it's just a waste.  And if anyone is frugal, it is me!  btw, I still have my polar F6 from 2006 and use it when I do treadmill workouts or on the bike trainer just for HR info.

 just sayin.

i agree w/ kim.  great investment.  just don't forget to leave it at home once in a while.

Havin'Fun - 2010-03-10 1:43 PM Jeff,  glad you're doing well.  Sorry about the surgery.  Hope all heals well soon.

I also agree with the group about getting the garmin now.   If you know you are going to get it why spend money on something else now just to get the garmin later.
