Trying to stay positive.
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2013 2:53 pm
Two Saturdays' ago, 50kms into a training ride, the rider in front of me slipped off the road into the gravel, he went down and I had no place to go except into him and over my bars. Cut a long story, my 42 year record ended with my collar bone in two pieces.
Now, I don't claim to be some sort of top athlete, however, I was well into training for the Melboune half marathon and my second half ironman in Feb next year. So I was doing something most days. Now nothing! I have been in a lot of pain and still am for most of the day. So walking and indoor trainer are still not an option.
I'm watching dvds and reading most days, but there doesn't seem a lot to look forward to atm. I've even started dreaming at night about cycling and running.
Any ideas on how to stay positive?
Thanks
Tony
P.S. Bike was ok apart from a slight buckle in the front wheel and $250 helmet - Toast!
