Hard to believe it’s been 3 months since my crash. Just got back from Hawaii. Did not race the 70.3, but swam the swim course with a friend who did on practice day Friday, drove the bike course with her, swam the IM full swim course, ran the “Energy Lab” portion of the IM run course. And then relaxed and just enjoyed Hawaii like a ‘regular person’ as David says.
Back to “normal” training again. Started working with Derrick Raymor twice weekly to strengthen my arm (total body too). Doing lots of plyo and it’s very fast and fun – think it will make a big difference.
Went for my first long ride (50 miles) since the crash Saturday and it was AWESOME!!! Made me remember how much I love to ride and never for one minute am I asking myself why I do any of this. I am doing it because I LOVE IT.
25 days to Tri Waco Olympic, 46 days to Age Group Nationals, and 87 days to IRONMAN Maryland (Mt. Tremblant canceled due to COVID so switched to Maryland). Ready to get back to that starting line.
For now, patiently training and working on doing everything coach says to get a little better every day. And incredibly grateful to be healthy and able to swim, bike and run.
