It's been a while since I've posted here, but I feel like I'm about to start something new. A new challenge and this feels like something I'll have content on, while maybe before... I'd kind of run out of steam.
6 weeks or so ago I purchased something I'd been wanting for a while, it's been on my instagram it's...
The reason is I quite fancy a go at Triathlon (look I've changed the title of the blog). I'm a decent cyclist, but it'll need work. I'm an OK swimmer, but it'll need work, I've done some running, I suppose.
I started with a few small rides, then it must've been on ride 4 or so, commuting the short distance to work, the frame shook under me and the next thing I know a kind motorist and her son and picking me up off the road.
I managed to in total, break my hand, fracture my elbow, crack a couple ribs, bang my head and generally rough myself up. Mainly as it appears the front wheel wasn't fitted properly in the shop I bought it from. But that's an ongoing complaint so I won't go into that yet.
Tomorrow sees my return to the hospital and the pain I still get in various parts of my arms (mainly my right wrist) implies I may not be fully fixed yet, but there's a chance and I can get training again. As it's been weeks I can only dread how poor I'll be, but this feels like a good place to start my latest return from some kind of injury.
More tomorrow on what I'm planning to do as I don't want to get overly carried away then to find I've broken something else and am in plaster til I'm 40.
