New to Triathlon. Injured, but motivated

Hi all! My name is Adam and I am from Southern California. I was recently bitten by the triathlon bug after a shoulder surgery to correct a torn labrum (being laid up without the ability to perform the simplest of tasks really had me climbing the walls). I began reading a lot about nutrition and training, and started out slowly (walking and eating a more healthy diet). Fast forward a few months and I have worked up slowly to about 15 hours a week of training in preparation for my first triathlons this summer. Also, I am working up to the Ironman Los Cabos next March. I'm very excited about this, and I am loving every minute of training.

Unfortunately this past weekend I was hit by a car while cycling, and I have some very significant knee pain, which has put a halt to my training completely. I am counting my blessings because I was very lucky it wasn't worse, and I can take this as a learning experience to keep a more cautious eye out for uncertain drivers. I have an appointment with my doctor on Wednesday to find out the extent of the injury, but in the meantime I am going back to reading and getting involved in these forums. I look forward to absorbing all the knowledge you all have on this site, and to getting to know you all better. Thanks!
