Missed it...

I missed the mini marathon. My knee is still sore. Total sucko. I am swimming and getting lots of muscles on my chest and arms, spending time at the gym, but I can't run at all. I am in the midst of a running and cycling hiatus to let the healing get started on my knee. I tried to maintain the strength and stamina that I had built up training hard over the winter, but I think it only served to prolong my injury.

I am still going to compete in the triathlon on June 8th that I signed up for, even if I have to walk the last part. The last part (the running section) is only 2.4 miles, which is not even that long of a walk, really.

Quick explanation of the triathlon that I signed up for: 400 yard swim, 9 miles on a bike, 2.4 mile run - in that order. I don't plan on winning, but I will finish the race for certain. Good times, I can't wait!

it's ok that you missed it, you'll have next year paid for because of your injury. Plus, it will speed the healing process by giving it rest.

I talked to the guy at the mini HQ on Friday. He said that I just need to fax over a doctor's note to him and he can make it happen. Funny note, he said to decipher what the doctor said and include it in the fax since they can rarely read doctor's handwriting.
