... or my knee plays nice again.
This is not a full-blown injury yet, so it's time to take it easy for a while. My ITB is acting up again, but fortunately by far not as painful as I experienced it before my first relay in 2009. The timing is also much better this time around, because my next race is not scheduled until January (Resolution Half in TR).
I was supposed to do a track workout this morning, but after hobbling around all day yesterday it just didn't make sense so try to push myself through that workout and do more damage. Last night, after a swim and 20 minutes of foam rolling and still having lingering pain in my knee, I gave the coach a call and for the rest of the week I am not running... It's swimming and cycling now.
That's the beauty of triathlon... When one sport doesn't work out at that moment, we have two other sports to fall back on.
Heal up!!
ReplyDeleteWe are leading parallel injury lives! So sorry to hear that you're hobbling. Guess that trail run did us both in!
ReplyDeleteBoo. I don't know that I can keep up on the bike I seriously ride slow (13mph). But if you are up for that slowness perhaps sat or sun? Heel up knee!
