2009 round up
In a few words frustrating, full of injury and indeed envy when reading Marathon T’s posts.
My grand plan was to complete an Olympic distance triathlon but recurrent injury dashed my hopes of competing anything other than a novice triathlon in which I came 9th out of a field of about 25. It was however the first time I’d ever ridden my new bike without falling off, stupid pedals!
The vast majority of the year has been plagued with back problems and fits and starts of training, many hundreds of pounds spent with the chiropractor and it’s still not fixed, the result was an MRI scan on my back, SI joints and right knee, with the strong possibility of surgery to follow. Bugger…
So my last run of the year was the day after my MRI scan (boy are they loud), New Years Eve, just over 5 miles into the wind and with a slight drizzle, but the views across St Aubins bay provided pleasant relief from the conditions. Slow and steady, trying to run the turkey off before the big night a head.
Results from the scan on Friday so fingers, arms and legs crossed.
I’m hoping 2010 will be the year of the Olympic Triathlon.
