The last few weeks have very much been about slowly getting back into training and working on my injured hip that slowed me down in Kona. After what has been 6 weeks since the big race I have finally got to the bottom of the injury. After bouncing off various sporting specialists which concluded with a trip to see the Surgeon in Auckland last week, I have been diagnosed with a femoractebaular impingement - or in other words the head of my femur has been impinging on my hip joint becuse it is not symetrical.
There has been alot to get my head around, however in no terms is this serious. Alot of strengthing work around the joint and visits to the Physio have got me back up and running pain free. I am now free to train over the next 6 weeks towards the Tauranga Half Ironman before it assessed again.
It has been a very frustrating time as i have not really known where is was going to be heading and the health system in NZ doesn't really help as everything takes so long to happen. It aslo doesn't help that our government changed ACC regulations, thanks National, I hope our taxes come down now. However the team of specialists I have been seeing have been fantastic and with all there hard work I am back up and running.
Bring on summer and the season ahead.
