Two weeks ago I woke up and tried to get out of bed. I noticed that my back was hurting but nothing special. During the day I couldn’t turn my head to the left. It became worse and worse. I went to the gym to do some stretching. It became better and two days later the muscles were relaxed…..
But: after and after I got pain in my left shoulder, my left elbow and my pointing finger of my left hand… that is definitely now muscle pain! By now I have severe pain and am not training.
It seems that I have a vertebra dislocated and a nerve trapped. That’s why I have the pain spreading to places I am not injured. So it’s pain killers (which I really don’t like taking) and the doc just gave me an injection to get through the day.
What a mess…
Apart from that my preparation for IM Frankfurt are very good and I am in front of my planned schedule. I think that’s why I am still so at ease even though I can’t train at the moment.
I am very well motivated and even did something I surprised myself and a few others with: I biked 4 hours in pouring rain and only three degrees temperature. When I arrived home I couldn’t get out of my clothes because my hands were so cold that they didn’t close anymore. I can say so much: I got helped out of my clothes and was ordered straight into a hot bath tub…. (smile). After about one hour I could feel my feet again and could speak in fluent sentences (my cheeks where literally frozen to ice). Training sometimes only consists of devotion to your sport and has nothing to do with sensibility…
Now you know why I love competing Ironman: there you get free drinks on the bike; you get free food and drinks on the run and have a few thousand people shouting at you to keep you going…. what a joy!!!
Next time I will be back with good news and soon with my new GIANT TT Bike... uaaaahhhhh!!!!!!
