Anybody got any experience of doing a triathlon with a hernia?
I've just been to the doctors this morning and was diagnosed with a hernia....18 month waiting list!
Doc said ok to do running, cycling and swimming but no weight lifting or abdominal exercise.

I had a 'sport's' hernia, just above my navel. Had it for 10 years and got it through overdoing stomach crunches in the gym.
if its this, no problem for you whatsoever. I did weights and running for years with no effect.
just got it sorted late last year, in and out in a day, and was running again within three days.
If however its lower down in the base of your abdomen. I think called an Inguinal hernia, then unfortunately the doc may be right.
cheers.
I haven't done any training for the past 7-8 days, will try a run mid-week and see how it goes.
...best wear something tight to support the area and stop things popping out that shouldn't be.
