REJUVENATED!!!

Starting Fresh! I'm finally healed enough from my fractured Calcanius injury to start working out again. It only took 8 months of rest and 2 more months of physical therapy. I started masters swimming up again, although i made it all 3 days one week and 0 the next, it still feels great. My 100yd swim splits were way faster then expected. 1:16-1:18 for just coming back and I was able to hold that. Simply Amazed! Then, my first bike ride on my new bike "Mac", was this past Saturday (my birthday) at the Hawaii Cycling Club ride. I amazed myself once again! It was as if I never left or took so much time off. Still Jamming and keeping up with all the main riders. Pushing them through the sprint finishes, taking pulls, it was GREAT! The only thing left is the Run. I still have a couple more physical therapy sessions and I'm at about 90% with the injury. My physical therapist said no running yet. The goal is to be up and running by December. Stay in Touch cause the Rookie Triathlete in Training will hopefully be back in full action by December!

AUDITIONS AND MORE AUDITIONS!

A couple weeks ago, a friend of mine told me about a Casting Website I should check out. I signed up and put a picture. The picture is from the first mile of the Marathon at Ironman. Now, for the past 2 weeks I've been submitting for all kinds of modeling and acting positions. I've had a few call backs and my first 2 auditions yesterday. I have another appointment set for tomorrow and another for Saturday. CRAZY!!! This may be my next BIG GOAL! This is looking like a great opportunity and I'm going FULL BLAST AHEAD! WISH ME LUCK!
This past Saturday I rode with a little group from Hollywood. It was good to get back into a group riding. We ended up going to a lighthouse in Palos Verdes. Good ride, but to much stop and go. CONGRATULATIONS to all the Honu/Hawaii 70.3 participants! Wish I could be out there with you guys.

6 months from the last post! WOW!

WOW! It's been 6 months since my last post. I forgot all about this blog page. I'm sure everyone is wondering what is going on with Cody. I'll start with the most significant thing that changed a lot of my plans for 2009.




On December 25, Christmas Night, I was messing around and fell off a rock wall. I fell about 2 stories and landed right on my heel. I ended up fracturing my Calcaneus (heel) in 5 places. Doctors said I will be out for 6 months or so. As of today about 5 months since the accident my heel is still recovering. I'm able to swim and ride, but not run. If I ride too hard my heel will be sore for days. It feels like my heel is getting better, but injuries like these take a really long time to heal and may never be the same. I'm hoping for the best and taking it a step at a time.




Currently, I just moved out to California last month. I've been here for just over a month now. It's AWESOME! I love it! I live near Redondo Beach. There's a ton of places to ride. In particular there's a long beach strip called "The Strand" that goes for miles. Tomorrow, I'm planning a group ride with the "South Bay Wheelman Club". I'll probably be here for at least 6 months.




Being a local triathlete that's sitting on the sideline injured is tough. Everyone asks if your doing Ironman or how's training going. Doing triathlons is a great outlet for me. It takes up a lot of free time and gives me direction and focus. Walking with a limp and not being able to run or be my speedy self was really depressing. I WAS CRUSHED AND DOWN FOR MONTHS! That's the main reason for me not updating this page and moving away for a little while. I'm taking things slow and if all goes well with the heel I'll be back for the 2010 season. There's the update!




ALOHA!
