  1. So after 4 hours waiting I've just been told they don't do rib X-rays. Surreal.
  2. @DoubleDAthlete shoot me now - still waiting for an X-ray!
  3. I've been here Waiting for an X-ray for three hours, before that the GP for 45 minutes. My fifth waiting room of the day. Ugh.
  4. @KMC1997 the run was agony I now know a smidgen of the pain Chrissie was in at Kona. She's a badass. I'm just an ass.
  5. @gitaramdharry PS met the US person redoing paratriathlon assessment system. She wants research on how neuro is best detected/impacts sport.
  6. @katherinetarbox I was more thinking restaurants but sounds like you're sorted! Enjoy the day!
  7. 50% of all people checked in at reception here at Royal London are being turned away at second reception - "this is not a GP clinic"...
  8. @IamRaceG toppled Saturday as front flatted while turning right. Iced & raced Monday then flew home. Just checking no fractures. Lat strain.
  9. @KMC1997 @canned_unicorn fairly certain I've pulled or torn my lat so that's an automatic 2-3 week rest period. I'm an ass for racing.
  10. @KMC1997 @canned_unicorn no I'm waiting cranky and have a meeting in an hour and I feel like an ass. Just ruling out rib/sternum fracture.
  11. @cmtmel what CMT fund is Art de Cure supporting?
  12. @KMC1997 @canned_unicorn I told them it didn't hurt until I started to swim. He said "I'm not surprised". I'm irritated now.
  13. Called stupid by emergency room staff when explaining my shoulder injury. Suppose "fell off my bike & did triathlon anyway" qualifies!
  14. @somethinkblue @gemmarose5 congratulations! :-)
  15. Needed emergency snack while waiting at GPs then remembered I had the single serving tin of almonds from @CybherUK in my bag! Lifesaver! :-)
  16. @PhilSITC I blew my front tire while turning right so toppled on my right side pulling lats. Then raced Monday making everything worse.
  17. Heading to the GP today to get an X-ray referral. The first step is acceptance. Yes I injured myself, and my choice to race made it worse.
  18. @gitaramdharry who would you rec @BalancePhysio for shoulder work post cycle tumble? Fell Saturday pulled lats. You? Thanks.
  19. @katherinetarbox hope you're enjoying London - need any tips let me know!
  20. @desireekoh13 I'm out of action for minimum of two weeks due to lat strain caused by cycle tumble Saturday, choice to race made it worse :-(
