I've been putting up with a "niggle" in my shoulder since the Tauranga Half Ironman, and finally went to the doctor about it today. I have damaged my tendon in some way. He has injected it with a steroid, and suggested no swimming and pump - which I managed to negotiate to 'no shoulder exercise in pump'. YAH I hate doing the shoulder exercises in pump anyway!!!!
He was rapt with my fitness - my blood pressure was 110/74 today - I've never had it so low!
I'll keep running and cycling and see how I am in 6 weeks time.
I am going to decide whether to do Ironman in 6 months time. Prior to this I will lose more weight, and build up my running, cycling and core strength.

Hey Julz
Thanks for the support on race day, even if it was a brief yeehah as I ran past. Hopefully will get to meet you properly one day!!
Hope the shoulder recovers quickly.
Ironman in 2009 ... sounds exciting!
I have set up a Bloggers doing Rotorua team at www.buckeyoutdoors.com if you want to join. Not sure if you use this or not.
Mike
