shaper Posted August 13, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted August 22, 2018 Share If she beats you, as punishment you have to have a B&B non stop for the length of time it took you to finish your race, or until you slit your wrists - whichever comes first Having strained my calf muscle on a run this morning and off to physio shortly.... am hoping that will be fully recovered by race day.... as the thought of watching B&B for 5hrs or so is a nightmare .... am not a soapie fan!!!.... but thought it cool that she actually races and has done Kona!!

fanievb Posted August 22, 2018 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
