| Fun times hanging at Siclovia |
I can't believe it's been 10 weeks since I broke my hand and fractured my wrist. Looking at that number sort of makes me sick and wistful at all the time I've been missing to make myself a better, stronger athlete. I know I have lost a lot of fitness and getting myself motivated to stick to a regular workout routine has been challenging. It's hard to do when the numbers you're used to seeing seem so far out of reach. My heart rate is sky high running at paces that used to be conversational but that's getting better when I consistently run. The pool has especially been hard to cope with because I know what I am capable of in the water and seeing my 100 m splits makes me what to crack my head against the pool wall. I'm getting in a decent 1000-1200 m and I even managed a 1600 m swim last week. My pull is very weak on the left side and I don't have a great catch position yet for my wrist but I'm working on it.

While it has been nice to be carefree and footloose with my time, I'm ready to have workouts to look forward/dread to do. My wrist is my limiting factor right now because it's not completely weight bearing yet and still very tender when I try to ride my bike and put my weight on it and hit bumps in the road. I just want to be on the safe side and not eff it up by wrecking again. I'm doing all that I can to push through it because I have a race to train for: NYC Tri! So I made the decision to get back on plan May 1. Even if all my bike rides have to be on my trainer or my mtb I'm getting to that start line.
