Been a While

Its been a long time since I posted. A very turbulent time - pretty sure the highlights are - shoulder operation and recovery. Prior to the 24hr race so all of the training was for nothing.

The shoulder operation failed to fix the pain.

Then came the September earthquake just as I was out of hospital from the shoulder op.

So next a period of further investigation with the final diagnosis being a neck issue.

Then more earthquakes .. and more etc.
Then first neck operation.

And more recovery.
And more earthquakes.

And then the cancer diagnosis for Tania.

And then the second neck operation.
This time an artificial disc implant which seems to have helped lots.

Then getting into training wit the hope of completing an iron man. It was going ok my record time of just on 4hr for 100km was about the best especially since it was over a far from flat course.

The a few trips to Oz over the 2012/13 Christmas. Now I am still in Brisbane ready to head back to chch. Sis has passed away. My fitness has taken a beating with no exercise and lots of drinking over last 4 months.

Time to begin to get back into shape.
Neck is feeling ok back does get some pain however.
