This Sucks!

Well I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything here but there has been nothing really to post because even before it began there will be no triathlons for me this season.

June 29th I am going to have back surgery and will be down 4-6 weeks (thus missing the PineBush Race) and my chance to do an Olympic distance in August.

After 2 rounds of lumbar shots I still had pain in my back and leg...so the doctor is going to have to go in and clip the disc which is apparently wrapped around the nerve and reposition the nerve...close to what I had done in 2002.

Just my luck...

I am down to 1 session a week with the personal trainer and that depends on how the back is doing that day. I look over at my bike and wish I could be out riding it instead of sitting on my butt inside.

Oh well I guess there is always next year
