Subject: Lower back sore after bike segment??? Hello everyone! So I completed my first triathlon race this year yesterday and I totally enjoyed it! My swim has definitely improved, tested new tri bike, and tested new racing shoes as well. However, soon after entering T2 and parking my bike, I felt a little pain/soreness in my lower back. It was dull. I tried to stretch to make it go away but it didn't so I continued onto the run segment. It did not go away until after about 3/4s mile. I did not feel any of this during the bike. I was in aero for longer periods that I'm used to but I still got up into the pursuit bars every now and then. I was no longer in aero position the last 3-4 miles due to really bumpy and curvy bike paths. What do you guys think brought this on? Could it be due to racing in a tri bike vs a roadie? I never felt this before in any of my races. Please help... >.< Here's my race report: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=432796 |
