Subject: Weirdest Knee Injury Ever just before AAA So at 2 o'clock this morning I'm lying on the couch, on my back, not moving. Suddenly it feels as though my lower leg is being dislocated at the knee. I yell in pain and it stops. I think my calf muscle had a spasm and was pulling the bone down and almost out of the socket - crazy! After a few minutes it was sore but not bad. This morning I tried to jog on it since after stretching and walking there was zero soreness and no sign of injury. After a half mile the soreness suddenly re-appeared and was scary and I had to stop and walk back to my car. I then massaged with CPD. A couple of hours later - no soreness nor limp in my walk. My sprint tri is in 8 days - my AAA race I've been training for a long time. I was doing 40s/20s cycling intervals yesterday afternoon and my calves were a bit sore afterwards but it was only a half hour workout so I consider yesterday as the first day of my taper (though I had an 1,000 yd swim w intervals in the morning). Overtraining again? I am 63. No knee injuries in my history. Do I not run until race day so it has the best chance of healing? My schedule has a swim tomorrow and bike on Sunday - should I skip those too? Major concern and disappointment. |
