At the time I was joking that my diaphram was broken. The event was at Canberra and driving home afterward, couldn't stop with the rattly coughs for ages. Got home and looked it up, and it seems to be exercise induced asthma. I've never had asthma in my life so I thought that was a bit strange. So just a common thing when one over-exerts themselves or somthing to look into?

Punctured lung?!!!???? "Well doc, I just woke up one evening and as I was getting out of my coffin I noticed this wooden stake protruding from my chest. D'ya think that could've caused it?" |
Geez you lot are smarter than you look. ;)
Good to hear it's pretty common and none of you have carked from it yet. Might have to go see the doctor about it anyway. Sin't it the go for all the pros to chug on the old ventolin for a few hours before their races? If it's good enough for them it's good enough for me. :D So Tigerboy. What you know about making touring frames? Would you knock me out something that looks like a chopper or what? |

It was no different when i hurt my knee doing martial arts. 3 or 4 docs tell me that its an ACL. im skeptical cause although it hurts i didnt have the loss of stability. so off to the specilaist, $600 and an MRI later, no problems detected. turned out to be Tibial band sydndrome or somthing like that where i had tight glutes pulling everything else out of alignment. |

WTF: is Armstrong a closet Aussie? From a report in cycling news
Armstrong said he would consider a return to racing "to piss the French off." That's the spirit!! |
