Wondering if anyone else who has one of these have this happen. I was surprised and disappointed that it happened. I've had & used the typical blue & white buoy that's lasted forever (years). This didn't last all that long. I've found it useful in my (maybe forever) recovering efforts from a tibial plateau fracture & surgery of left knee/leg.

Yea they are not for everyone. But given my 25 mm structural hip discrepancy along with my now ruined leg I've found it useful for 1 sided muscle education workouts over the regular buoy which Iv'e used forever and it easier.
I had send finis an e-mail but they never responsed. I sent another one today & they are going to replace it.

This yr is a low point particularly after riding across the country last yr. It's been a real hard reality for someone who has been able to go & do whatever (14 IM finishes including 4 in Kona) and many have had epic adventure on the bike, etc.
I'm giving myself a year to hopefully "get back to normal". Then think about events (except for 1) or what's next. Many working on strength building. Glad I have swimming as one form of exercise I can rely on.

Broke my tibia at the knee on Jan 8. Technically skiing but was a slow speed high energy break at 10:15 am on 1st easy warm up run of the season. I've been skiing confidently for 38 yrs. Then had surgery Jan 17 with hardware & filling in the potholes on top of the tibia. Then 7 weeks in bed. Ugh. That followed with slowly becoming weight bearing. Many days walking around the track with my crutches at 9'/.25 pace. Now down to 19'/mile. Now after relearning how to walk I'm still working at getting down stairs like a normal person. While running is not suggested as I'm told "everyone just gets pain, bad arthritis & then a knee replacement in 10 yrs. I'm working on being able to run at some point in the future once I get walking down. Kobe Bryant & JJ Watts have the same break which is described as a "life changing event."

I thought I'd be ready to go bicycling by June being in as good a shape as I was and how quickly my bone healed. Dr had many are non weight bearing for up to 12 wks. It took until July 25 to get my leg to make it across the pedal stroke clipped in. Yesterday put on a 11-36 rear cassette with my 53/39 something I never thought I'd do. I thought last year using the 11-32 for the cross country ride was a concession. But just not ready.

As one of only 7 people & the only woman who thus far have done all the week long Cycle Oregon Bicycle Rides I'll be there in 2 weeks but only a shell of myself. It's a challenging ride this year with some great climbs. But at least something to look forward to.
