I did my first bike race yesterday, and it should have been a great day, but instead I found myself with a fractured collar bone caring for a downed rider that was in need of immediate medical care. The wreck involved about 15 bikes from what I heard later so I consider myself lucky that I wasn't being air lifted out of there and in ICU.
Nevertheless, I am going to be trying to get healthy enough to start training again ASAP since IMAZ is right around the corner. My xrays show that I do have a hairline fracture with a possible break on the top of the bone. I will find out more about the possible break tomorrow, but for now, I am trying to get an idea of recovery time before I can swim, bike, run again. I will probably start riding on the trainer in a moidfied position, and I can see myself running with a splint on and my arm secured to my body, but what about swimming? That's where I need the most work right now! Who has had a similar injury and can remember their times to recovery?
56-11...the only way to fly
