Trubie Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 We might start at 5:00 or 5:15so I'll leave home at 4:45 or 5.
Andyr249 Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 So I should get to bed early on Friday night?How far are we expected to ride? A very long one?Kid, where did you do your 128km ride this last weekend?
predictor Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 IM 2010 dreams shattered!!!! Just confirmed I have full blown ITB in left knee. Did 32km run over weekend to discover ITB at 27km into run. Decided to test the knee Tuesday and ITB at 8km. Seeked medical advice this morning and ITB now confirmed. Option 1: Stop running now and work on cycling only up to IM and suffer in the run do some damage and go for an op after and take a six months recovery from all sport (did this in my first IM, right knee) Option 2: Go for op now and recover in time for MTB season. Should be ready for IM 2011 Option 3: Only work on shorter TRI's and no op needed but no more IM. Option 4: No more running and only cycling. I am leaning towards Option 3, I never quit but I am just getting into my road riding and cannot lay off for 6 months now. I think I might have done my last IM last year and perhaps can still do the shorted TRI's in future. the upside is that ITB is not affecting my riding at all. Perhaps this is the time to start working on the sub 3 Argus and change my training plan to accomodate the shorter harder riding needed. Eish

Eish Nice to hear from you.Hummy asked what had happened to you.I thought you might have been that person that won that big amount in the lotto and decided to run away. I would suggest you avoid the knife & doctors for that matter.PM Agteros / Trubie he's got the details of a good doctor. If it was me I'd rather give up IM than go under the knife. In case you interested there is a Triathlon on the 11th April, you can either do the Olympic size or the shorter distance one with Hummy.
Andyr249 Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Sorry to hear Predictor!! In my opinion do not have any op on your knees. It fixes it now but causes more damage in the long run. Go see someone in Rosebank at the Centre for Sports Medicine. But avoid any op.
