MRI Scan

Went to see the specialist and no surprise, he wants an MRI scan of my hamstring.  It will be in 3 weeks time so I will continue with my swimming, cycling, yoga and gym work while keeping the pressure off the hamstring.
He explained that hamstring injuries can rule you out for a year but I'm hoping that as I am mobile on it and it's just some swelling and lack of side ways stability, it should be OK in another month or so?
Anyway time for a wee break from the blog as the training reports are boring me never mind you.
I did read a fantastic and inspirational Ironman Nice report from my fellow athlete David Arthur.
There was a 2,700 swim start involving a large punch up, the bike course which is very technical and had thunder and lightening to contend with at the end.  He came off his bike just before transition and had a suspected broken arm but rather than go to the medical tent he did a PB on his marathon.  Now that is the type of attitude you need to be an Ironman.  Don't stories like that just make you want to get out there and do it?  Hamstring allowing of course.  Well done David Arthur.  A great example of what it takes to be an Ironman!
