This season, like many others has really been off to a slow start, if it’s not one thing it’s another! Every year I say I’m going to get a great start on the season and almost every year something comes up.
This year I had a Hernia operation, and while the operation and recovery aren’t necessary that bad the pre-operation slowdown was horrible. It’s been exactly two months since the discovery of “Ernie” (as he has been affectingly nick named) and I’m just now getting back into the swing of things. Next week I’ll start on my normal training load.
This weekends easy bricks were pretty tough on me and the scar formally known as Ernie. I’ve had this persistent muscle pain/spasm in my side since the surgery and on the bike ride it decided to start acting up. Wow, that was rough. Guess I did a little too much too soon. Oh well what’s a triathlete to do?
Funny thing: Before the surgery the Doc said he wouldn’t put any restrictions on me after two weeks of the surgery. He said it wouldn’t do any good anyway, “triathletes are always pushing their bodies to the limit”. Funny guy, he’s a runner…

- Lets see... I seem to be an aging athlete - at least according to some of my 25 year old friends, 46 isn't old, is it? I'm the custodial parent of three great kids, two daughters and the youngest is a boy. The triathlon bug bit me about 10 years ago when I was casting around looking for a new sport. My previous sport, Karate, just seemed to lose its allure. After15 years of karate there seemed to be more politics than actual learning and working out. Triathlon was perfect, it allowed me the technical aspects of technique, nutrition, and skills plus the physical aspects movement and better health. Oh and yeah, I get to get cool things like fast bikes and carbon bike shoes! I’m some what of a computer geek but have resisted learning new methods of programming, does that make me more of a geek or less?

Stop the presses! Mark is blogging..hey that sucks about the muscle spasms. when do you see the doc again?
I'm done seeing him, he's already given me the okay to do "anything I feel like doing". But, I'll go back if the muscle spasms start up again. So far they have been much worse than the actual surgery.
you should take pictures. for the blog. the healing hernia...
