tybeegb Posted February 1, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2019 It was birthday day for Eric, who crashed with me back in December. Me with the hip socket crack and he with the broken collarbone. His wife threw a surprise birthday "party" on Wednesday for him; his 45th. Eric's First Annual Biathlon. 13 mile bike and 3 mile run. Something easy to do but fun. I show up just to eat cake and watch. Eric is fully healed and ready to go. I'm still on crutches. Not a big turnout, but enthusiastic as usual for Tybee. I did not have fun. It was cold. My hip hurt. I am ready to ditch the crutches and start with the program again. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitepedal ★ Posted February 1, 2019 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2019 It gets hard to stay down as you heal...how much longer are they saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted February 1, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 1, 2019 Since you didn't post a video or link or even a pic it was impossible to watch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkpow Posted February 1, 2019 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2019 Well, answer me this. Can Eric walk on his hands, yet? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted February 1, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2019 Bike riding and running are easy to do with a broken collar bone, just don’t crash. Broken hips require time for new bone growth so they can be weight bearing. You could be riding before you start running. For me it took three months for the bone growth to be sufficient to do a mini-tri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-rays on the 6th of this month. I'll know more then. Hopefully at least to be able to ride, as running is evil. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted February 2, 2019 Share #7 Posted February 2, 2019 I suspect at least part of you was happy to watch because Eric was still around to participate. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
