Re: recovery experiences from collar bone fracture [runboorun]
I think it varies a lot so don't freak out too much by my experiences. I have broken mine a couple of times. Bothtimes I had very little arm strength for 6 weeks. I had a great deal of difficulty sleeping comfortably for about 3 months (like a rotator cuff injury) (I sleep with arms up...is this weird?).

I could imagine biking in a modified position. Running after a couple of weeks possibly, but swimming with any sort of power would have been impossible for me within 6 weeks.

However, mine was a complete and ugly break, and 8 years later I can still feel the join. A minor fracture could be a completely different story. Many bike/motorcycle racers break this all the time and are back in action the next week. Of course they are being PAID!

best of luck. Sorry about the bad experience in your first race.
