One of the hardest parts of a comeback for me is getting up to the same volume as the entire team. The major goal is to avoid injury while gaining back my fitness. I spent the first week of my comeback at about half of the volume the boys were at, the second week I was at a little over 3/4’s the volume, but this past week I rowed the entire schedule. I have a standing appointment with Dr. Mike Murray to keep me running well, and I am sure I’ll need much more as the weeks pile on top of each other – but I did it! At times it was less than pretty, but there is something to be said about completing a Mike Spracklen training week. There were times I thought I couldn’t – but I pushed through knowing that this training is what will get me my gold medal in London only 27 and a half months from now.
I love this sport.
