I hit the brakes a lot more than I used to but each time it gets easier and a little less scary. Good luck with your recovery!Jocelyn Wong Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707588369735721409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440780394540385257.post-62868995793668984162012-07-19T08:12:54.610-04:002012-07-19T08:12:54.610-04:00As a slow triathlete who does it for fitness fun a...As a slow triathlete who does it for fitness fun and because I can I train about 6 to 10 hours a week for sprint / Olympic distance races. That still makes me feel exhausted sometimes, but I don't have to sacrifice much in terms of socialising or friend (I still sacrifice a little though because I just am too tired sometimes and sleep beats wine!)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00473843674999627197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7440780394540385257.post-30132919843809610982012-07-19T00:23:13.991-04:002012-07-19T00:23:13.991-04:00"I don't even know how many hours other a..."I don't even know how many hours other age groupers with real jobs train each week. "<br /><br />I train about 10 hours. But I'm in my 50s and slow.... :D That's my balance point though. I go lower in the winter when it's cold out and higher in the last two months before an Ironman. But I can't go higher for much longer without wrecking my body and having no life.<br /><br />Though right now I'm doing NOTHING thanks to a bike injury that gave me Post-Concussion Syndrome. It's frustrating and I hope I'll learn something from watching you come back to triathlon because I'm a bit scared right now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16889346533561544345noreply@blogger.com
