Triathlon season w/ an Injury- one arm freestyle 1 mile swim

My Triathlon season seemed to be over as I fractured my collar bone and Scapula while doing the Ojai Century ride on June 2nd 2007. I had no other choice than to scratch the Breath of life and Vineman Triathlons, while leaving the Sta Barbara and Malibu tri’s questionable. However, I was inspired by videos of swimmers competing with one arm and no arms. I hit the pool to learn the one arm free style swim, which I used to complete the one mile ocean swim at the Santa Barbara Triathlon 12 weeks after my crash. I admit I began jogging on the threadmill 5 weeks after my crash w/o talking to my Dr., but after talking to him, I cut back to 3 miles per week. I hope to pay the inspiration forward with this video, with music background by Nuttin but stringz, ” Thunder “. Ride Safe. Richard Valdez www.matthewsheart.com
