IRONMAN

Hi Guys,
I am planning to go back training for Ironman at the end of the year, I have plans to do 2 next year, which is a big challenge, especially that my left foot has no sensation. It feels like I went to the dentist and that he anesthetise my foot instead of my teeth.
My surgeon said the sensation might not come back, along with a shorten leg due the nerve damage I had when I got paralysed last year of my left leg. Of course I don’t believe it.
Anyway, i am not trying to impress but I would like to show to some people that yes bad injuries happen, but if you believe and don't let yourself down you can stand up again from a big fall.
I was wondering how many of you guys would go to Lanzarote, Germany, UK, etc.....
I planned Lanzarote next year and if I have the finance Florida :-)
Any body else ?

I think I will do IM Frankfurt as there maybe a few others doing it. I would like to review where I am now after 2no Ironman completed in Austria and Lanzarote.
• Austria 2007. Got groin injury 10 weeks out from the race, run training was reduced drastically, after approx 15k during the run got knee pain from both ITBs had to walk run to finish. Good swim 1:11 hrs good bike 5.55hrs run 4:50hrs.12:14
• Dublin marathon 2007 pulled out after 20k with the same knee pain in both knees.
• Training for Lanzarote upped the intensity on the bike as per plan in late December, my right knee got sore under the knee cap (different from run injury ITB) Stopped bike and run training from January 10th until 2nd march. Slowly built back up training, only completed one long run of 22k and one long cycle of 110k. Knee cap healed ok. But after 15k into the run had to run/walk to finish. Good swim 1.10hrs ok bike 6.55hrs run 5.30hrs. 13:55hrs.
• Had a niggle in my groin after Lanza and then fell off the bike three weeks ago, got infection, just finishing antibiotics tomorrow and all the rash is nearly better, so going back to the pool tomorrow and a cycle in the eve.
• Hope to race in a sprint in Athlone on the 12th July and a few OLY distances in August, main focus is 1/2 IM in Kenmare in early Sept.
So I really need to sort my run for Germany 2009 and I would be grateful for any advice
