If you've a spare 30mins, this documentary about Tim Don's recovery from breaking his neck, shortly after breaking the Ironman world record, might be of interest.

I had the same break (C2 vertebra) and treatment (halo brace) a couple of years ago (also in my best year of events, but not at quite the same level 😀 ) so it particularly strikes a chord with me, but I'd imagine it'd be of interest to anyone who's had similar experience of coming back from injury.

For what it's worth, I spent a couple of years mostly recovering and just keeping things ticking over, but this year I've won my first ever triathlon podium position, so pretty pleased to have got my form back, all things considered.

Crazy.

I watched it too from a feed I got from ON (who supply his running shoes) and honestly I thought he'd had it.. Quite a pragmatic mini documentary.. worth watching if you can spare the time.
