LONG TRACK ICE SPEED SKATING
"Some
things happen for a reason. Others, however, are best left as
circumstance, misfortune, or plain bad luck.
As I lay
face down on a table feeling the creep of hands across my body,
objectifying limbs from personal possessions into foreign objects in need of
repair, my tears mingled with the stupefied confusion of my thoughts. 'How,' I
wondered, 'is it physically possible for one’s back and gluts to be so powerful
– and so incredibly tight - to tear one’s own hamstring?' The answer, as
I’m now learning, comes in the form of words like “excessive tensile force” and
“corresponding nerve impingement”.
But that night, just hours before the start of the Canadian Long Track Fall World Cup Trials, all
it meant was I had to pick up the phone and call my
coach."
Excerpt from "Broken Wing", 27 Oct 07
"I can’t
change the realities of these past few months. But I can give
thanks it’s happened NOW – where there is still time to heal, with years
– not days – before the 2010 Olympic Trials. I can give thanks for
my coach. I can feel gratitude for everyone across these past few
weeks who has shown such an incredible belief in my ability on skates –
and capacity to return injury-free. And through injury, I can
choose to practice skills at which I am admittedly weak; things like
patience, mindfulness, and maintaining a better balance in my life.
There's no denying this isn't the season for which I hoped (and
expected) back in September. Am I upset? Oh yes. Am I
disappointed? Absolutely. Do I still wish - every single day
- to be back skating injury-free? Of course. And I will
be... but right now, the first step, simply, is to heal. Bring it
on."
Excerpt from "Determined to Heal", 15
Dec 07
Meaghan's hamstring tear was
later determined to have resulted in a 70-80% loss of strength and significant
muscle atrophy. Following Can-Am, she focussed the
remainder of the season on healing. After many long hours of physio in
Saskatoon, she
returned to Calgary in June 2008; where she is now training injury-free.
