WE NEED to set some new goals...
Scrap the 12-Hour, Scrap UMC, scrap even the Mont 24-hour... and especially scrap Ironman WA!!!
Where R-Day = day which the doc says rehabilitation of injury can proceed
and where N-Day = day which the doc says resumption of normal activity can proceed
R + 14 = swimming fitness base re-building complete
R + 28 = swimming strength fitness achieved
R + 35 = open water swimming commences
R + 49 = race fit for Anaconda Lorne
N + 1 = walk 1km today, 2km the next day, then rest 3rd day
N + 4 = walk 3km today, 4km the next day, then rest 3rd day
N + 8 = walk 5km today, 6km the next day, then rest 3rd day
N + 14 = balanced L-R flexibility attained, commence progressive gym training and cycling fitness
N + 28 = plan revised race goals for 2006-2007 season
N + ? = can run 5km non-stop
N+ ?? = proceed to leg plyometric training / resume mountain biking
N + ??? = attain 255 cm for standing broad jump
N + ???? = attain trail running fitness for Anaconda Lorne (highly technical, rock-hopping, coasteering)
N - R = how many days???
Kayaking fitness = in line with swimming fitness???
F*** f*** f*** f*** f***... every minute i stay in this room, i feel myself getting weaker, the walls closing in a little more tighter; while out there, on the road and in the bush, others get stronger.
Alas, a shift in the kinds of events to focus on seems inevitable. The best i can do now would be the Max Adventure Sprint on 19 November, then the Red Yeti Midnight Assault 25-27 November, then the big one, Lorne Anaconda. The tricky part is being race fit in time for any of these.
To be continued....
Updated: OK, we are still on track, but it won't be easy. Still got 1 more week of no running, so i won't pull off anything stupid in this time for now.
