Hopefully it's Just a Hiccup!

There must be something in the air in Victoria...injury is in the air here!!! or at least for me! I think i mentioned earlier that i tweaked my back while traveling home. Well...it maaay have been a bit more than a tweak. :) i am getting back one step at a time thanks to the magic hands of Patrick Kelly...(our development coach..who knew?! i certainly didn't!) Mike Murray, Brandon Cali, Kim Ward, Jeff Jones and Steve Keeler!! What a team!! X-ray came back normal yesterday which is good and i still have an MRI and bone scan on tap for next week. The good news is that I'm feeling great today..the best i've felt in weeks! I am swimming, biking and water running so fitness won't be an issue and my legs always are happy to turn over when they are able! :) So 2 week hiccup but I'm ok with that...fitness seems to bounce back quick (thanks for the genes dad! ;)

Here is a pic from the other day when i had a trainer ride on a gorgeous day and couldn't bear to ride indoors...SO i drove down to one of my fave spots, Ogden Point and set up for a spin! Then icing after was more than convenient ;) My camera didn't pick up the mountains too well but it was such a nice day..the ocean and mountains were like sparkling!




Gotta love Vic on sunny days!!

Will keep everyone posted with scans etc. Bit frustrating considering i made it the whole off season without an injury and now we get to race season and i get a little hiccup but lets hope its just that, a hiccup! i can live with 2 weeks.... :) "Patience is a virtue"
that must be the phrase i heard most throughout my childhood ;) which is why i became an athlete i think!!

Great idea on the trainer ride. Wishing you a quick recovery. Triathlon really is a "forgiving" sport, there are always a couple of other activities you can do when the hiccups come. I don't believe in defeat.

All the best kiddo! Just bumped into you at SCP in the rehab lane in the dive tank :P Get yourself one of those iPod cases (BCAA store at Broadmeade) and those water-runs will go by even faster! Samo
