Hey,
I need some help deciding if I should try and possibly DNF or cancel the race.
I've been signed up for CdA 70.3 since last fall.
Training was going well until at the end of February I strained my calf. Couldn't run for a month. Then, starting up again in early April and I end up needing an emergency gall bladder surgery!!!
No activity for 2 weeks, no swimming for 4 weeks.
I just got cleared to run and bike, another week and a half till I can swim or lift any weight.
At this point, I'm WAY off in training and the race is 8 weeks away.
Would you/should I plug away and try- worst case, I'll DNF for the first time. The alternative is to just cancel.
It's a drive and I can cancel my hotel, so no loss there. The race.... Eh, I can get a $75 refund, so it's not so much a financial decision.
I'm basically running 3 miles now, after 2 months of injury. I can make the bike no prob.
Swim- I've been out of the water for a while, but know I can ramp that up.
Thoughts???
Thanks for the input
