Expert  1544    Alexandria, MN |  Subject: RE: Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed10 mile bike ride this morning, trying to stretch out the legs from the last few days of running. Then a nice OWS with my 9 year old learning to use his kayak to follow me. He loves it, and I can put my Garmin in the drywell of the kayak and get a map and distance for my swim. Contemplated a run tonight, but it's getting dark fast, so it will have to wait until tomorrow morning before it gets too hot!

Extreme Veteran 692 England | Subject: RE: Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed Well, there is a chance my Ironman attempt is over before it's even started. We have been riding sections of the bike route over the last couple of days to get familiar with it. Yesterday we were coming to the end of what was planned to be our last ride. It was all nice and steady on the flat. We arrived at the place where my parents were going to meet us. There was another cyclist behind me so rather than suddenly slow down I decided to turn onto the footpath as there was a lowered curb. Turns out the curb wasn't so low. I went right and my bike went straight on. Two very kind strangers helped me and one of them took me to the local hospital while Kevin waited for my parents with the bikes. A number of x-rays later and I have a torn ligament in my right shoulder, a (very minor) broken finger and quite a lot of road rash. It could have been a lot worse as my helmet is completely cracked through and I felt it hit the ground hard (my first words to Kevin were "I'm going to need a new helmet"). The shoulder ligament is going to be the issue. My understanding is that it's not too serious and I've been told to take painkillers so that I can use it normally, however I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to swim... I'm trying to mobilise it as much as possible and then I'll have to test it on Saturday. At the moment I can't lift my arm above shoulder height. |

Master 1609 Gold Coast Australia. | Subject: RE: Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed Rachel, do not despair, still some time left. Sorry to hear about the fall... We will keep the fingers crossed so you can swim with that shoulder (painkillers are legal, this is not TdF...). Do not give up. |

Expert 2811 | Subject: RE: Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed catching up from the last couple of days. Tuesday night ows 32:35, then group bike 50:30. Yesterday was a rest day, I had to take daughter #2 to the airport in Detroit and put her on a plane to Japan. 7 hours of driving plus a trip to IKEA (which in swedish for spend a lot of money so you can put together furniture), I was in no condition to do anything when we got home. Rachel- I'm sorry to hear of your accident. I hope you are ok. From the sounds of it thank God you were wearing a helmet.

Master 2238 Dallas | Subject: RE: Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed Sorry to hear about the crash Rachel. Really sucks being so close to race day, don't force yourself to the start line though. It is better to DNS than to DNF (the latter is very discouraging and the negative mental effect remains on for a long time). |

My wife says if I go to Hell I will be either a plumber or a handyman, because I lack those skills. Being an attorney it is a scary thought, especially since it has been suggested I visit there several times. Edited by JBacarella 2012-07-12 2:28 PM |

Expert 1544 Alexandria, MN | Subject: RE: Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed Only got in a 3 mile run today. Better than nothing though, I'll have to have a better day tomorrow. I'm heading out for a 2.4 mile OWS in the afternoon with a couple friends (and my 9 year old) kayaking alongside me. Good times!

Then 19 mile bike ride followed by 20 minute run (which doesn't count because it wasn't 30 minutes). So 2:14:46 today. 10 days until my first HIM.

Expert 1255 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania | Subject: RE: Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed Hi Everyone, I miss you all. I've been lurking and working out, just not posting. I am in the July challenge and will get my workouts totaled soon. I've been looking for work and starting a new business. Jim, good job on winning the challenge last month. Mae, welcome to the best positive addiction you'll ever have. Mark, way to gut out the marathon. Scott and Jen, so glad your house was spared. Charlotte, welcome back and great news about your son. Rachel, listen to your body and do what it tells you. Thank goodness it wasn't worse. Barry and Chris, I really like your new avatars. Ernesto, shower, shave, sleep, sex and sh_t! |

Expert 2811 | Subject: RE: Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed We are having a little nervous moment. Daughter #2 arrived in Tokyo Japan this morning, but she is supposed to go to Kumamoto tomorrow. They were hit with 28 inches of rain in 24 hours and at 18 people are dead. We emailed her host family and are waiting to see if they are ok. |

Master 1780 Boynton Beach, FL | Subject: RE: Ernesto's group (4th season) - Closed Back from the Dr. to have something remove from my arm. Nice little scar on my right forearm, so no exercise for me for "at least a week" according to the Dr. However, I grew up with the metric system...according to my calculations an "english" or "imperial" week is about 2-3 metric days...right? |
