the tricky road of a sportsman..

I have been battling with a niggling adductor in my right leg, uncommon for a triathlete, but a result of muscle imbalances and an aggravted sacro-iliac joint. Part self diagnosed and part from the two french osteopaths and negative MRI scan have seen/had. This has resulted in a break from intense cycling and running for the last 2 weeks, preventing me from racing the first french club race. I did the swim for them, in a team time-trial format (sticking together for the whole course). It ended up being a strength session with pushing the last guys' legs every few metres-for 750m!! Am feeling more confident with the leg now-after extensive self prescribed rehab (degree has to be useful somehow!!) and hoping to do an aquathlon in 2 weeks followed by another International event the following week.

Picture.. since had some 'downtime' managed o get in some sightseeing- Quimper, a very old town, about an hours' drive away, with the main attraction a gothic cathedral-seen in the distance of the pic. The river flows through the town giving it a real 'european' feel!!
