ADe Posted March 19, 2014 Share Hi chaps, after the discussion with the surgeon, decided it will be better to operate and get on the mend ASAP, very disappointing, but for the best. You guys must all smash it, love every minute of it.. When are hurting on that run, think of me and love the fact that you get to experience the pain and eventual glory... Good luck!!!Sorry to hear, but in the long run it is better to rather get it fixed. Luckily you have something(one) much more important to look forward to.

kingalton Posted March 19, 2014 Share Sorry to hear Alton - that is terrible luck. I know when I came off at Buffels all that flashed though my head as I skidded along the tar was whether my IM would be over... Fortunately I am 100% to race, but its scary how these things happen in a split second and are out of your control...What happened with the car - where and how did you get knocked off?was just outside cullinun, we were 6 guys in single file, car drove past everyone and then came in a hit me on the front of the bunch, with his mirror. he took my bike out from under me, i fell against the car, which threw me as he went past, i went over the bars and landed on my head and face and shoulder. my hand must have slammed a rock off the road, which shattered the bone right at the joint which connects into the wrist..the dude drove on quite a bit, i think we wasn't going to stop, must have stopped 50m away eventually..his car has a nice scratch in an arch on the back door, as my bike went over and cut into the paint... my tt shifters are heavily scratched as well as the front of my torpedo bottle.. so did a nice summersault... the guys behind cr@pped themselves.. i was thinking of putting my go pro on at the back of my bike before the ride, should have done it, would have been some great footage.. excuse the typing and spelling etc, only have my left hand to type with..

tankisbyon Posted March 19, 2014 Share my longest straight swim in the pool so far is 3800m. Physically it was fine, but mentally - was the most boring thing I have ever done. I do 4000m regularly, but break it up into multiple strokes and drills, include sprints etc...makes it a little less boring. I have no idea how you guys can do a 5000m straight swim, mentally I would just lose my sh*t, looking at the black line at the bottom of the pool for so long..
