Outside "the ropes"

My recovery continues. The Physio was encouraging and I'm now walking better I.e. Without the aid of a Zimmer frame! I will be starting some short, light spinning to promote blood circulation and using a roller on my hamstring. Even if my hamstring injury hadn't happened today was the first green light on my heart rate variance monitor therefore I wouldn't have been training. The technology was telling me to rest.
But this weekend was a real treat. On Sunday I watched team ATHelite compete in the Bishopbriggs novice and sprint triathlon. I took my camera along and watched all my teammates give their all.  Watching it through the lense of the camera I could see how hard they were working and whether a first timer or experienced triathlete they pushed the limits. Being "behind the ropes" e.g. Spectator was great fun. I felt like I swam every stroke, rode up the tough hill and took every tough step in the run. I was knackered by the end.
But the great results and PB's weren't achieved without a lot of hard work. And mine will be starting in another 3 weeks. In the meantime I will be taking easy steps to get me back on track without leaving a legacy of a bad injury. Too many athletes make that mistake. Patience is a virtue, so they say.
