race plan

[Tri Girl]

Wow- sorry your shoulder is giving you such trouble! I'll keep my fingers crossed that all goes well at the doc tomorrow and you can do your tri on Sat.!

A reverse tri is scary to me- only because I'd be so tired at the end that I might drown. Really, your race plan seems very sound and logical (not to mention very reasonable to do). I really hope you have a wonderful race, and you'll have to be sure to give us all the details when you finish!!!!

Have fun out there!!!

Sounds like you know the course well, which is such an advantage. I know that seeing it in my mind ahead of time gives me courage when I'm doing it. I hope your shoulder acts right for you! Have a great race! L.

Well, I went to the doc and he thinks it's rotator cuff tendonitis, kinda what I thought, but wanted to check since I was having the numbness. He gave me some anti-inflammatories and strengthening exercises, and luckily, no restriction on what I can do. In his words, as long as I can tolerate the pain, I can do it, since I shouldn't do any more damage to it. I'm glad, otherwise I would be trying to avoid two doctors, two nurses, and a receptionist (sp?) tomorrow at the tri!

And Lise, I worked for a month about a mile from the course so I did a couple of training sessions there, so I know what to expect. Next weekend, totally different story!
