Subject: RE: first post deq55 - 2007-04-13 2:06 PM Thank you all for all your advice. I tried to post some of the following info before and it did not go through for some reason, so i will try again. Unfortunately there is not much they can do for my keen. I am 6'10" 250 lbs and about 10% body fat. I played basketball professionally for 10 years and Ended my carreer becasue i needed a triple microfracture surgery. Basically that means I have nothing in between the bones of my knee. I can run and enjoy a good life, but if i run for too much i actually bruise the bone and that is not much fun. Currently, I have 2 small scabs that are acting in place of the cartiledge i am missing. Form, strengthening and rehab are a big part of my life and my purpose for being here is to help keep that knee as healthly as possible. From my experience you ahve all offered some great advice and I am very thankful for it. Welcome to BT!! I don't know a lot about your knee condition, but I would imagine that if you are able to swim and bike to keep your fitness up and are willing to take the run at whatever feels comfortable, you'll still be able to have a very fulfilling triathlon experience. If the running proves to be too much, look into relays. Its a great way to be involved with triathlon and wouldn't put your body at risk from the running. |
