Tasha Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 (edited) My name is Tasha, I'm from Victoria BC. I've been a vegan for 9 months. I had an interest in becoming Vegan because I didn't think it was possible to just live off fruits and vegetables. I also didn't think it was possible that I would compete in triathlons. Dew to 10 months ago to not being able to float in water, not being able to ride properly. But in My prospective anything is possible...I've been training hard these past 4 month for my first race on June 3rd. Dew to a minor set back, three weeks ago I got hit by a car, from riding home from a in house triathlon. Which won't allow me to race in June. From a head, shoulder, and internal injuries. But lucky enough nothing broke !! Yaaah go Vegan power ! TTFN Edited May 24, 2007 by Tasha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who specializes in Therapeutic massage/injury massage.This is a great community, have a great time!Yeah it has been a challenge.. but I just hopped over the wave.. My mom thought I was crazy for the day I got out of the hospital. I was down at the Velodrome. Not riding of course. And I wasn't strong enough to set up the riders. Instead I got ring the bell. Thanks for the info on the massage therapist.. You're absolutely right.. My shoulder is out of linement. I can't bring it down to the ground if it's beside my head. Also hurts to reach for my right shoulder... and bring it around my back.... Thanks for the welcome Lotus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lotus Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 One of the few Velodromes around is here in Portland! Not sure if you knew that! I just found out!About massage, it is amazing and with a good body worker, and of course your injuries, your body, your willingness etc., you can gain back a large percentage of your Range of Motion!

Guest Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Awesome...this is gonna be great. I've been wanting to meet him for a while(I've used him as a bit of a track mentor for the past year or so). I don't think I'll be there in Late August though. I'll probably be on my honeymoon then but I hope to head up there maybe 2-3 times in the two months I'm there.
