저는 5.10 대구 철인3종대회 수영 출발 후 첫코너 턴구간에서 다른 선수의 평영킥에 맞아 늑골 3번 단일 폐쇄성 골절 진단을 받았습니다.
당시 충격과 통증이 상당했는데 오랜만에 나온 대회라 참고 참아서 2시간 17분에 완주했습니다. 3일 뒤 병원에서 골절 진단을 받았고 최소 4주에서 6주 운동 금지와 흉부보호대 착용을 권유하셨어요.
저는 6월에 또다른 철인대회가 있으니 그전에 보호대를 풀고 운동을 조금씩 해보겠다 했습니다. 제가 좀 강경하게 나간건지, 의사쌤이 운동 좋아하는 사람을 이해해준건지 3주만이라도 꼭 쉬라고 당부해주시더라구요..3주는 악착같이 휴식에 몰두 했습니다.
휴식중에는 접골탕도 먹고 철분제와 비타민D 합성이 뼈건강에 좋다하여 매일 해를 맞으며 산책하고 저녁엔 수영장에서 스컬링과 한팔자유형, 킥 연습등을 하며 물감만는 잃지 않으려 애썼습니다
대회를 약 2주 앞둔 시점 초음파 검사 후 보호대는 풀고 아주 저강도의 운동 시작을 했고 조금씩 조금씩 운동해가며 대회 준비를 합니다.
마지막주차 원래는 카보로딩과 테이퍼링을 하는 기간을 거치며 몸을 완성시켜야 하지만 그동안의 훈련량이 부족했기에 대회페이스로 3일전까지 운동하며 버텼고 좋아지고는 있지만 통증은 좀 남아있는거같았습니다. 불안하더라구요
고성 아이언맨 70.3 대회장에 도착하고 절대 통증 무시하지말고 되는데까지만 하자 결심하고 수영을 출발합니다
수영은 최대한 넓게 돌다보니 2,060미터를 했네요…자전거는 에어로 포지션이 상체를 모으는 동작때문에 호흡할때마다 통증이 좀 생기기 시작 했습니다. 베이스바를 잡는 구간이 계속 많아졌고 강점이라고 생각했던 자전거 기록은 역시나 처참하게 끝났습니다
그나마 다행인건 런 초반 호흡이 좀 편해지면서 흉부 통증도 줄어들어 중반부터 속도를 붙였고 나름 나쁘지 않게 4:32 페이스.
최종 기록은 4시간 50분으로 겨유 5시간 언더로 대회를 마무리 했습니다. 더 다행히도 이후 큰 통증은 없고 병원에서 뼈가 좀 어긋나게 붙긴 붙았다고 얘기합니다. 어쩔 수 없죠..
어긋난 늑골이 어떤 결과를 가져올지는 아직 모르지만 이제 어느정도 운동량도 올라오고 있고 다음 대회도 차근차근 준비할 수 있는 몸이 되어가고 있습니다.
여기 처음 부상글을 올렸을때 너무 많은 분들이 공감해주시고 위로와 쾌유를 빌어주신 덕분에 다시금 부상을 딛고 움직일 수 있었던거 같습니다.
이제 날은 계속 더워지고 징마도 오겠지요. 신차 소식도 올라오고 뚜르도 볼 수 있겠습니다. 안장 위에서나 휴식기나 모든분들 항상 건강
하시고 부상없는 즐거운 여름 보내시길 바랍니다
Saya menerima diagnosis patah tulang rusuk nomor 3 tunggal setelah terkena tendangan gaya katak dari atlet lain di tikungan pertama setelah start renang pada Iron Man 3x Triathlon Daegu 5.10.
Saat itu, rasa sakit dan benturannya sangat kuat, tetapi karena sudah lama tidak ikut lomba, saya menahan sakit dan menyelesaikan lomba dalam waktu 2 jam 17 menit. Tiga hari kemudian, saya didiagnosis patah tulang di rumah sakit dan dianjurkan untuk istirahat dari olahraga selama minimal 4 hingga 6 minggu serta menggunakan pelindung dada.
Saya berencana untuk melepas pelindung dan mulai berolahraga sedikit demi sedikit sebelum lomba Iron Man lainnya pada bulan Juni. Apakah saya terlalu memaksa atau dokter mengerti bahwa saya suka berolahraga? Dokter itu mendesak saya untuk beristirahat setidaknya selama 3 minggu. Selama 3 minggu itu, saya fokus total pada istirahat.
Selama istirahat, saya minum kaldu tulang dan mengonsumsi suplemen zat besi dan vitamin D karena baik untuk kesehatan tulang. Setiap hari, saya berjalan-jalan di bawah sinar matahari dan sore harinya berlatih gerakan seperti sculling, gaya bebas satu lengan, dan tendangan di kolam renang agar tidak kehilangan kemampuan berenang.
Dua minggu sebelum lomba, setelah pemeriksaan USG, pelindung dada dilepas dan saya mulai berolahraga dengan intensitas sangat rendah. Saya secara bertahap meningkatkan intensitas latihan untuk mempersiapkan lomba.
Pada minggu terakhir, biasanya saya melakukan karbo-loading dan tapering untuk melengkapi kondisi fisik, tetapi karena jumlah latihan saya kurang, saya terus berlatih dengan kecepatan lomba hingga 3 hari sebelum lomba. Kondisi saya membaik, tetapi masih ada rasa sakit. Saya merasa cemas.
Saat tiba di lokasi Iron Man 70.3 Goseong, saya memutuskan untuk tidak mengabaikan rasa sakit dan akan berenang sejauh yang saya bisa.
Saya berenang dengan jarak selebar mungkin dan menempuh jarak 2.060 meter… Pada saat bersepeda, posisi aero membutuhkan tubuh untuk berkontraksi sehingga setiap kali saya menarik napas, rasa sakit muncul. Saya memegang handlebar lebih sering dan rekor bersepeda saya yang biasanya menjadi kekuatan malah berakhir buruk.
Untungnya, pada awal lari, pernapasan saya sedikit lebih mudah dan rasa sakit di dada berkurang. Saya mulai meningkatkan kecepatan dari pertengahan lomba dan mencapai waktu 4:32 per kilometer.
Waktu akhir saya adalah 4 jam 50 menit, menyelesaikan lomba di bawah 5 jam. Lebih beruntung lagi, setelah itu tidak ada rasa sakit yang parah dan dokter mengatakan tulang rusuk saya sudah menyatu meskipun sedikit bengkok. Tidak bisa dihindari…
Saya belum tahu apa akibatnya jika tulang rusuk saya bengkok, tetapi sekarang saya sudah mulai meningkatkan intensitas latihan dan mempersiapkan diri untuk lomba berikutnya secara bertahap.
Saat pertama kali saya mengunggah postingan tentang cedera ini, banyak orang yang bersimpati, memberikan dukungan dan doa kesembuhan. Berkat mereka, saya bisa bangkit kembali dari cedera ini.
Sekarang cuaca semakin panas dan musim hujan akan segera tiba. Kabar tentang mobil baru juga akan muncul dan kita bisa menonton turnamen. Semoga semua orang selalu sehat dan selamat dari cedera selama musim panas yang menyenangkan.
I received a diagnosis of a single closed fracture of the 3rd rib after being kicked in the breaststroke by another athlete during the first corner turn at the start of the swimming event at the Daegu Ironman Triathlon on May 10th.
The impact and pain were significant at the time, but since it was my first competition in a long time, I endured it and finished in 2 hours and 17 minutes. Three days later, I was diagnosed with a fracture at the hospital and was advised to refrain from exercise for at least 4 to 6 weeks and to wear a chest protector.
I have another Ironman competition in June, so I planned to remove the brace and gradually start exercising before then. Whether I was too strong-willed or the doctor understood my love of exercise, he urged me to rest for at least 3 weeks... For those 3 weeks, I devoted myself entirely to rest.
During my rest period, I drank bone broth and took iron supplements and vitamin D, which are good for bone health. I also went for walks every day facing the sun and practiced sculling, one-arm freestyle, and kicking in the pool in the evenings to maintain my swimming skills.
Two weeks before the competition, after an ultrasound examination, I removed the brace and started very low-intensity exercise. I gradually increased my exercise intensity and prepared for the competition.
In the last week, I should have gone through a period of carbohydrate loading and tapering to complete my body preparation, but due to insufficient training volume, I exercised at race pace until 3 days before the competition. Although I was getting better, there seemed to be some lingering pain. I was anxious.
Arriving at the Goseong Ironman 70.3 venue, I decided to ignore any pain and just do my best. I started swimming.
I swam as wide a course as possible, covering 2,060 meters... Cycling in an aerodynamic position caused pain every time I breathed because it compressed my upper body. The sections where I had to hold the handlebars became more frequent, and my cycling record, which I considered my strength, ended miserably.
Fortunately, my breathing became easier at the beginning of the run, and the chest pain decreased. From the middle of the race, I picked up the pace and ran at a decent 4:32 pace.
My final time was 4 hours and 50 minutes, finishing just under 5 hours. Thankfully, there was no major pain afterward, and the hospital said that my ribs had healed somewhat crookedly. There's nothing I can do about it...
It remains to be seen what consequences the misaligned rib will have, but I am gradually increasing my exercise volume and becoming able to prepare for the next competition step by step.
When I first posted about my injury, many people empathized with me and wished me well. Thanks to their support and encouragement, I was able to get back on my feet after the injury.
Now that the days are getting hotter and summer is approaching, news of new bikes will be released and we'll be able to see tours. May everyone always stay healthy and have a fun and injury-free summer!
