Hi fatcat. I just remembered about this thread today! The arm has fully recovered, I have about 70% of the strength back, but more importantly I have the full range of movement back. I certainly can't complain about a full recovery in just 3months!
Yeh, Mx has kind of taken over these days, I even picked up a 2nd bike (03 cr125), Mx is all about fun!!! But anyway, after not doing much running at all for the last few weeks (maybe a run a week), I dicided to do a local 5k race on the track. I was feeling very out of place before it, and alot of the other lads who are useally behind me were thinking they would finally get one over me :bang: . I set off easy enough, not really wanting to burn myself out, due to the lack of fitness, but amazinly felt good during the race, and I was able to push on strong during the race, and moved into a comfortable 4th place. Mentally it was a tough 2nd to the race, I really had to dig deep to hang on, but I did!
From feeling like rubbish before the race, wondering why I was there, and really not looking forward to 12.5 laps of hell are the track, I had a great race to finish in 18.11mins, which is only 50seconds off my PB, despite no training. It really hammered home why I do athletics, and the kick and buzz you get out of pushing your body to the limit!
