rh8463 - 2011-07-04 3:16 PM Hello people - I am back Been on a reffing course for a few days and had the half marathon at the weekend. Now back to work and reality

 

I saw your time on your RR, but how did you place?  Nice results!

Thanks! 83/716 AG and 1532/8003 overall Will add those to RR now....

That is just awesome, Rachel!  Coming off a hurt foot, no less!

Thanks Rhoda. I think I am just very lucky to have a physio 2 buildings over who is a friend so great treatment, very promptly and I healed fast! Next race is a 24hr tri - must must MUST get back in the pool this week and get back into decent bike training!

How are you doing this week?

I went on a fun, short bike ride this evening.  Outdoor rides are few and far between during the week.  I am so thankful when I can find someone to babysit!

Funny stuff... but, feel free to log for the guys.  I'm quickly falling behind this month.

On a side note, I'm really looking forward to Sunday.  My 10 year old son decided to do his first triathlon (50m OWS, 4 mile bike, and 1 mile run).  Since his race starts at 7:30 and mine at 8, I don't think I'm going to be able to see him finish.  I just hope he has fun and catches the triathlon bug!

Awesome! There are three times that I have felt like a "real" triathlete (whatever that is) and one of them was when volunteering at a kids' tri. Good luck to him!!!

I am, in fact, "for the boys." Or at least that's where I put it on the challenge sheet.

I do like to surround myself with boys, what can I say :D

Hi everyone,

Sorry to go a bit quiet, picked up a particularly nasty bug my daughter brought home from child care and decided to share with us all.  Day 3 today with no exercise, completing this challenge with 100% is now going to be a challenge, but will get there.

Just for you Yanti, I have added all the detail I could remember to my RR. Really nothing gory, I had one of those good racing days! Oh, I did have a bleeding foot and lost another toenail the next day, no biggie though

I visited the hand specialist today and have been told to continue resting for at least another 10-14 days... Angry because I have a triathlon in that time period and can't bike or swim properly. I was hoping to heal up much sooner than that and I am tired of riding my spinner upright because it causes excessive extension in my low back. I am going to have to withdraw... 

I know that I can stay and do other goals but I am so peeved about not getting to go to the Bala Falls Tri and not making use of my new bike that I'm just going to take a break from tri training for the moment.

Good luck with the challenge team!!

Sorry about the race, but you probably made the right decision.

Have you tried to swim since the injury?  I found that swimming really helped to restore range-of-motion in my hand.

Yeah, bleeding foot for a half-marathon and body parts falling off, no biggie, indeed. What, no small organs fell out either?

I did try swimming and it puts force on the spot too... That's why I might have to cancel the event. I will play it by ear the day before. Who knows, I could go do it without proper training if I'm healed!

I'm getting ready to do some evening hill climbing on the bike.  I'll climb about 750 feet of elevation in 1.5 miles on the road bike.  The whole hill is 4.5 miles with an elevation gain of 2100 feet.  This hill is my nemesis!  It gets easier as I lose the baby fat, though. Laughing
