Training Log Archive: DaveR

Support runner for Mirjam on the last part of the epic Celtman Triathlon. The weather was so epic (strong wind, driving rain, low cloud) that the mountain route was closed and we had to do the "easier" low level mountain path round the back of Liathach. Mirjam was second woman which is a stunning debut. My first time running with my arm in a cast, which worked out better than I had feared.

Another day, another NHS visit. This time to get a lightweight, non water soluble cast on the arm. Nice, if somewhat overworked, nurse heard my weekend plans and booked me in for a further replacement on Tuesday :-) (There is also a valid medical reason to inspect wounds under the plaster)

A real expert has had a look, and I get this cast off tomorrow

to be replaced by a lightweight cast for the next 4 weeks :-(

It seems Monday's fall might have been slightly more serious than I first thought. Today's trip to Minor Injuries resulted in R arm now in plaster from thumb tip to elbow as precautionary until a real expert has a good look. Hopefully get rid of it in a couple of days.

Fell on our front drive! lost front wheel under braking on a damp morning. Minor road rash on L knee and hip and sore R thumb. Bike is OK.
