Amanda Clinton started the topic Bike crash & injury in the forum Ironman Program (IMP) for Paid Participants 5 years, 4 months ago
Hi Everyone –
I hope you’re doing well. I had a pretty rough bike crash when I was riding on Easter. I think I hit gravel and suddenly my bike was just slipping out from under me. Anyway, I ended up in the ER and have 8 stitches in my elbow and a brace plus a broken rib and a bunch of bruises and abrasions.
I was told I can’t swim for 2-3…[Read more]

Thanks for this, Jason. Very helpful. I also heed Margaret and Coach AJ’s advice to avoid OT.

Greetings –
I have to travel to Iraq over the next two weeks. I inquired about options for swimming, running and cycling and they seem quite limited, particularly as a woman. Are there any thoughts about how to address situations like this? Kinds of workouts to do inside (in housing space) or maintenance of some sort?
Thank you
Amanda

Dear Coach AJ –
I just tired to sign up for the Master Swim Program Swim Video Analysis and all three sections are full. Would you happen to know if any additional courses/time slots/dates might be added?
Thanks much
Amanda

Hi Katie –
Ha! Thanks for your post about the swim video analysis and mention of “splashing ineffectually at the back”! I am a slow swimmer at best – a terrible one at worst. That adds up to being very scared of the IM swim. I feel like if I get through that, I will have won my race no matter what happens on the bike/run.
For those of us not…[Read more]

Greetings all –
I similarly offer apologies for missing the March 10th clinic. I know I would have benefited from being there and very much wanted to attend. My work travel schedule is planned months in advance and I had to be on the road the weekend that 2nd clinic was offered.
In terms of nutrition, my experience on endurance training and…[Read more]

Hi –
Thanks for the reply. I did see your earlier message but was curious about OT in particular. My plan is to look at the resources you mentioned, of course. I’ll focus on strength training for gluts and core, as well as “activation” of the same.

Hi!
Thanks for this question, Hope. I have a hard time figuring out strength training, as well. I was thinking of trying Orange Theory which is, I know, more of a HIIT workout than strength per se. However, it holds my attention and keeps me honest since I have to go to classes. Is this a possibility? Has anyone hired a trainer for strength…[Read more]

Greetings all –
I am arriving a bit late on this thread, but if any of you go on a long ride in the next few weeks, I’d love to join. I’m new to both DC and triathlons (guess that’s obvious, given our group!) and cycling.
Thanks!
Amanda
