How disappointing is that? I have screwed up my neck, shoulders and right arm to the point I cannot even feel three of my fingers! I am thinking pinched nerve???

Anyway, anyone else been in this boat? Do I just tell Danskin that I cannot compete? Wonder if they will credit my entry fee to the next race?

I am still going because my friend is competing so I'll have 1/4 of the fun!

I have had similiar experiences in the past and my chiropractor has saved the day. In addition to an adjustment they treated me with ice and some type of electronic stimulation for about 20 minutes. I believe some chiropractors specialize in multisport and are very knowledgeable about the pains you are experiencing. Even if they can't get you race ready, they will help fix the pain.

Good luck either way!!

Get to a chiropractor or sports med therapist ASAP.  Then  if you can't do it for medical reasons do this:

From the Danskin Triathlon website:

As is clearly stated in all of our materials, there are NO REFUNDS.

If you are unable to compete due to illness and/or injury, then you may be eligible for a medical roll-over to next year’s event. In order to be considered, you must submit:

  • A completed Medical Roll-Over Form – Click Here
  • A letter from your health care provider

These materials must be mailed to:

New York, NY 10018
Attn: Maria DeRosa/Medical Roll-Over

All Medical Roll-Over requests will be handled by Danskin, Inc. New York office.

I'm sorry that you are in pain! However, it's best to listen to your body and not overdo it. Where do you live? Madeira Beach isn't too far away from me and I would love to cheer people on! I look forward to meeting you!
