In 2009, while training with Team in Training for the Full Vineman Triathlon, I was injured in a ski accident. I had ACL reconstruction in 7/09. After rehab, I trained for 10 months and became an Ironman at IM Louisville on August 29, 2010. Today I am a 15x Ironman. I have qualified to participate in Ironman Kona on October 8, 2016 through the Ironman Legacy Program. Follow my adventure as I join Ironteam and raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on my Road to Kona!

Post Marathon Recovery
It's back to Ironteam training. I swam and biked on Monday. My legs were sore, and I had a hard time walking. On Tuesday, I ran and also swam. My run was at easy long run pace; my legs were still sore and I could not go faster even if I wanted to. Swimming felt good, and I'm getting a little faster. 1 km in a little over 22 minutes. I still have a long ways to go in terms of being a more efficient swimmer. Wednesday, I biked for 90 minutes, keeping a cadence of 90 rpm. Again the bike felt good. My legs are starting to return to normal. Today, I'm working an unplanned 24 hr shift at the hospital, covering for a sick colleague. So I'll try to get my scheduled Thursday workout in tomorrow. ( run and swim) I have a 3 hour bike ride with my Ironteam scheduled for Saturday. That should be fun.
