It's been about 6 weeks since my surgery to have a plate put in to fix my broken collar bone. I'm happy to say that yesterday I did a triathlon consisting of a 1/2 mile swim, 18 bike and 4 mile run. I had been swimming at lunch in order to increase my range of motion and worked up to 1/2 mile without discomfort. It really helped my rehab. For the triathlon I even rode the bike I crashed on, in the aero position no less, and it didn't bother my shoulder at all. I was 5 minutes slower than last year, mainly from lack of running, but that's better than I thought I'd do.

Today my shoulder muscles are a little tighter than usual, but that's it. I'm very happy I was able to finish the season with a complete race under my belt and it was a definite boost to my confidence and outlook.
