Recovery Mode

Well fellow mature fitness friends and readers I mentioned in my last post about the Ironman Texas and the complete dedication it takes to compete at that level. Then in my concluding message I rambled back to that message of remembering the basic aerobic exercise for minimal fitness. Since that time I have experienced a bicycle crash, while not life threatening it was serious and has me sentenced to an 8 week recovery mode before I can hit the hard work out days. So, in the past 2 weeks I have been able to swim twice, a total of 1,500 yards. Since one of my injuries is a broken rib any type of upper body movement is painful. So, I am taking it slow and easing into the workout mode so that I can compete in my next triathlon on July 30, 2011, the end gate to my 8 week lay off. I am depending on my years of aerobic base to get me through it and the fact that I long to feel the completeness of my exercise through swimming, biking and running.

Stay tuned,
