Big IM CHOO training speed bump....I'm a little concerned about what to do. I had a kidney stone attack yesterday and now I'm laid up until at least Monday as I have just had surgery today to remove it. Doctor said I could go back to training on Monday but to start easy. How much will this effect my ability to complete this IM? What will this do to my fitness as this was big protocol weekend I'm missing. Please tell me I'm not completely screwed...... I was really starting to notice my fitness come around prior to this and I'm hoping this fitness can be regained in time. Thx for any feedback on adjusting my plan or just encouragement that this will not stop me from my goals to be an Ironman.

    @Kevin ... Sorry to hear about your Kidney Stone.... Take a deep breath and relax.... Your ability/fitness needed to complete this IM is not made or lost in a mere 4 days.... Focus on getting healthy and starting up slow on monday.... Lots of time left... Look forward to seeing you in Chatanooga...

    Kevin,

    What Tim said. Missing 4 days is a complete non issue. You'll be fine...just listen to your doc re how get back into regular training. Be smart

    Thx for the encouragement. I'm on good pain meds and looking at it as a little recovery time to heal.
