Some probs
Unfortunately she tore her hamstring insertion/glute on the bike. No crash, just “overuse” heh. Just simply started feeling a cramp, then it got worse and worse till it tore with one hard pedal stroke. Currently unable to walk or sit. Frustrating!! If all goes well with recovery she hopes to be back racing in Arizona at the end of November, but really it’s way too early to tell what kind of damage she’s looking at.
More soon hopefully.

So, so sorry to hear that. Hang in there!

Honey,
You are still a “champion” to us. All the hard training & positive attitude is awe inspiring.
See you soon.
We love you.

Been following you both on the blog for a while. Gutted for you Heather. I was looking out for your splits on Ironman.com and wondered why I’d not heard the commentators not talk about you.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
