Back to work after two fantastic weeks off. While we were away camping I was walking out of the trailer with an armload of things and somehow did not navigate the last step. My left ankle took the brunt of it. Heard a big pop and then down I went.....yard sale.....stuff all over the place. My first thought was that I had broken it since it hurt so bad. But after a few minutes I was able to walk gingerly. This was last Thursday. Have taken it easy since. Rode the indoor trainer for 45 minutes last night. The last 20 was at a good pace. Felt ok....though still sore. On one hand I am pissed that I got an injury with just under 6 weeks to go.....But I am more thankful that it should not be too serious and I can still race. What a fluke...nothing to do with training.
My plan was to really push it for the next 4 weeks. So I will have to see what I am able to do. I will not run until it feels much better. So that may mean lots of bike time and swim time. I am going to be very conservative with this as I don't want to jeopardize being able to finish my 1st Ironman.
I am pressing forward.
