Update on the ITB injury (Iliotibial band syndrome)... I had a appointment with the NSWIS sports specialist this week and after numerous test and a ultrasound on my ITB, Dr Donald Kuah recommended me have an ITB release. So I will be having day surgery in 2 weeks to get this done by Dr David Wood. Recovery wise will be around 6-8weeks for running but I will be swimming and riding before that. Excited to finally get this over with and get back to training for 2011 soon!
I would like to thank NSWIS and Dr Donald Kuah for all the help and expertise!

So it has been a while since my last update… I have been a little busy in this time but most of the occasions were away from racing and training. That’s the disappointing part, for me anyway. About month ago I had my brothers wedding and I was best man. I was stoked to see my brother so happy on this special day and to be apart of it… unreal! It was fabulous to see all my family and I had goose bumps just watching…
Almost 3 months have gone since I returned home from Europe because of injury. There has been a lot of time spent at the physio, seeing doctors, a little bit of training and my knee has flared up a couple of times disrupting my recovery. Last week my knee flared up again so all the team helping out (including me) are scratching our heads!
Future training and races depends on how long my knee takes to recover. There is a NSW Institute of Sport camp down at Falls Creek, Victoria to do some altitude training in late November but I don’t think ill be ready for that, which is disappointing. However, there are numerous races I am looking at in South America early next year so Ill keep you updated!
Not knowing exactly what the injury is and trying to recover from it, is extremely hard. This period has been difficult to say the least but with all the great support and well wishes it makes it that little bit easier!
