Hi All,
I’m tying up the knots of my last few weeks in preparation for my shoulder operation tomorrow. I’m having the plate removed from my shoulder by Greg Hoy at the Avenue. Should be great fun (Ok, I know it won’t be). The shoulder block is the worst part- having a numb arm overnight is very strange…it feels like a frozen block of dog meat. Not unlike the way the quads feel after an Ironman. Only there’s a bit of a cut there. I am looking forward to having a less painful shoulder for my swimming though.
On other fronts, I want to give a shout out to the guys from Break your Limits who looked after me in Perth, as well as Brian and Hayley from TWA. Tom Kroyer organised me to within an inch of my life, which was greatly appreciated. I’m looking forward to getting over to Perth/Busselton for a camp later in the year, as well as hitting IM WA with some good fitness!
See you in the recovery room,
Mitch
