Nine weeks ago I broke my right hip. Had surgery and now have three screws in the ball joint. I am 56 and wondering if anyone has ever come back from this type of injury to complete a Half Iron.

Mine was different. I busted my femoral neck, had hip surgery inserting 2 rods inside the femur, one down the length and one into the head. The actual ball and socket was left untouched, though there was a chance of having to get a full replacement if the bloodflow was compromised.

Forced to take 7 months off of work, and 2 years off of running, but getting on a spin bike was good rehab ( but hurt like heck )

I've done a full iron, though there was definitely some recovery time in there!!!

WOW!

Your recovery from major hip surgery to IM status encapsulates the IM spirit! You could have given up but toughed it out!

My issue is that I am currently deployed and training outside is proving difficult, especially on the bike. I have found a safe 10km running loop but I am struggling with the bike training.
