Temporary Set-Back...But No Big Deal

[milansanremo]

You gentlemen have been so helpful in this new adventure !
So, why didn't you tell me that I shouldn't be doing 1:55 pace WOD's after a few weeks of rowing for the first time on a 63 year old body...LOL !!
Clearly, this was too much stress on an ancient body that was using (certainly) bastardized technique, resulting in overuse of the lat area on my left side. Fortunately, I have a Wizard of a chiropractor who is getting me through this.
For now, (until I am pain free) I am doing two sessions of 10k (am and pm) @ 2:05-2:07 pace which are getting easier (more than likely from adaptation to the rowing stroke).
I attempt a short run to below 1:50 pace daily for a systems check and don't plan on any WOD,'s until I don't feel a knife.
So, all is good with the exception of Ergdata which kicks me off without warning when I have my Bluetooth speaker simultaneously blasting Led Zeppelin... funny that it doesn't happen if I'm listening to Mozart (just kidding).
Looking forward to seeing you guys on WOD one day again.

I'm one year younger than you, but have learned the hard way to increase my pace in small increments over extended periods of time. There really is no rush at all...

Best of luck with your recovery.

Oops. I never look at WODs, but starting out is a bit of a minefield as your ego takes over and you push it too much, without having a full grasp of what 'too much' actually is in terms of muscles, tendons and ligaments.

Hopefully you'll recover quickly
