SWBKRUN MENTOR GROUP - OPEN (Page 3)

Hi Suzy, I posted something on page 2 before I went to bed! I found it really hard to get to sleep last night, must be the coke and caffeine gels!

Awesome job, Trevor!!!!  Nice PR.....

Now go home and cheer for the Sharks....we'll be at the game!

David's RR!

Congratulations, Trevor!!

Awesome job David!  Congrats Ironman!!!!!!

Great PR Trevor.  I hope to catch up on race reports tomorrow at work.  :-)

You did awesome, Trevor!! I think the wheels always fall off the last 10k. That's what makes the marathon so brutal and special. Can't imagine the heat -- I'm sure it was brutal. Yes, not hot for much of the country, but that is very hot for us at this time of year (no acclimation). Congratulations again. A :30 PR is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you limping today??? Can you walk downstairs??

Just got home. I had an interesting conversation with my wife during the long drive. Having been quite keen for me to pull out of the ironman after we got back from Europe in January she got really into it the last few weeks.
My SIL who is now living with her marine boyfriend in the UK is planning to come out next year and her boyfriend wants to do an IM so between my wife and her sister they are planning on me doing IM Busselton in December 2014. I haven't broken the news to my legs yet!

Now that my Oly is over. I have about a week and a half before surgery. Then 2 weeks off untill training starts for the HIM. My question is what should I do this week and next before surgery?

is the surgery your having to correct an SBR injury or unrelated?  if training doesn't bother it, I would train normally right up until the day before you go in.  I had a girlfriend who just had an unrelated surgery and did a 3.5 hour ride the day beforehand to maintain some of her fitness while she rehabbed for two weeks.

As an enthusiastic fan and strong supporter of this surgery when hubby had it done, I can say it wasn't nearly as bad as he thought it might be.  He had a day of frozen peas and rest (with an amazing omelet that I whipped up, accomponied by a screwdriver!) and was feeling pretty fine in 24 hours.  Took a week off the SBR, and was good to go.

Train until the last day, and enjoy the break! And the benefits....... 

eta: Trevor's right - don't rush back!!  Not worth the consequences!!

The plan was to take 4 days and do nothing but peas and rest.hen I was going to go from there. I figure I will ask the doc and see what he says. I hope I dont loose everything I have built up. I hope that by June I will be back at it if not before.
