shaper Posted August 13, 2018 Posted August 13, 2018 How is the prep going, Shaper and @ndy? You guys should be in your last build block now? I see that Jade Nicole is on fire at the moment. I think there is a good chance she is going to be the first age grouper in. Same as @ndy, was a recovery week this week (and I needed it !!), last 2 weeks then taper and fun in the sun!! Taper week, I will be in PE on the Thursday, do registration, parade and opening banquet, Friday will cycle the course, Saturday pre race swim/run then watch the ladies race.... Sunday the fun day!! Counted my AG from the list, there about 240 give or take... so worst can do is 240th in the world for my category

shaper Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Soleus muscle injury!!... long taper no running until race day but will be re-assessed on Friday! Limited to swim and cycle... le sigh!!
fanievb Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 Soleus muscle injury!!... long taper no running until race day but will be re-assessed on Friday! Limited to swim and cycle... le sigh!!Man that sucks and is moerse uncomfortable. My recovery took 6 months and involved bio and physio with lots of stretching, dry needling and foam rolling. All I can say is that the dry needling really worked as did shortening my stride.
Wheelsuck Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Soleus muscle injury!!... long taper no running until race day but will be re-assessed on Friday! Limited to swim and cycle... le sigh!!Rotten Luck Shaper, but just take it easy-hope you heal up quick....would Cryo or a Hyperbaric chamber like at SBR not help?
