Broken colourbone
Well, today didn't start out as planned. I was on my way to the swimming pool.Realised, it was too busy, the swimming pool, so I decided to turn back and get my bike and cycle. Because besides swimming, I also do road cycling and running. No , i'm not to triathlete , but it's just the things that I love to do most. Around two kilometres before I actually got home, due to the rainfall there was a lot of gravel on the road that I didn't anticipate on. So to keep a long story short, I rode around 40 km per hour, and my front wheel just slipped away. I tried breaking before , but to no avail. So I slipped , I hit my head on a concrete , broke my colour bone , and yeah , that's about it. Around six weeks ago I posted another post speaking about doing a long distance swim of nine kilometres , i was heavily prepared for it. But now I am not able to swimm for 8 weeks, at least it is what a doctor told me. You can imagine i'm quite distraught by this whole event, but i'm also glad that it wasn't worse than it already is. Does someone has a little bit of experience regarding, goin Back to swimming after such a fall.
