Back in the Saddle

It's been a rough winter from a triathlon/training perspective.  Following Hawaii, I decided to run indoor track w/the Somerville Road Runners.  That lasted a whole 2 sessions.  During the second track session, something didn't feel right in my hip/ab area.  It was a weird discomfort/pain.  I know my body pretty well, and though that I might have a sports hernia.  After laying off the training completely, I finally went in to get the issue diagnosed in February....and low and behold, it was a sports hernia.  I had surgery in April...and have been rehabbing over the last several weeks.  I'm back training (lightly) again.  I've been laying low since I discovered the injury....not really even posting much about it on Facebook or anywhere else.  But, now that I am starting to come back, I'll start posting again.  I plan to post an in depth post about the surgery and the pre and post process.  When I discovered the injury, I searched high and low for information....and it was sparse.  I did find one blog post from someone who had the same surgery, by the same doctors.  I even contacted him directly and we spoke on the phone before my surgery.  It was invaluable.  So, I want to make my experience available to others....and the road back to triathlon.
