IM Date: 7/20/09 - Week 11 (Race Week)

Week 11 and the times continues to fly by. Last week was a decent week for training but a bad one for injuries. On Monday of last week I hurt my left arm, something in my elbow pretty badly and basically my arm went tingly and very weak. Come to find out the ligaments in my arm were stressed and pulled out of joint, rendering one of the muscles all but useless. After seeing Dr. Nash twice I have some strength back in it. I was able to swim 30 minutes by the end of the week, which was a huge improvement. Hopefully by later this week I can resume swimming like usual.

This week is more of the same, even more combination days of training. A couple of "highlights" this week will be running the torchlight run with Jodee and Andrew as well as doing the Chisago Lakes Triathlon as a relay team with Andrew on Sunday. I'll be swimming and running and he'll be handling the bike leg (20 miles) for us. Jodee will be doing the half Iron Man distance that day. Should be fun.

Let's all hope for quick healing!!!
