Disaster!

So, unfortunately I am injury stricken! I had hoped that the twinge that I was feeling in my right shin/calf was only a temporary misfortune but four days later it is still pretty painful and palpation of the surrounding area illicits some very high pitched screams!
We had a phsyio come into the office today with a view to obtaining discounted physio treatment and I took the opportunity to go any get myself checked out.

It seems that I have some trouble with my "tibialis anterior" muscle which is this muscle:

Which means that I can't load the muscle with any weight for a few weeks or so, which means no running :(

Still, triathlons do have there perks! I can still ride and swim, the latter having no real loading on the muscle and the former having minor loading which means I'll have to be a bit careful over the weekend.

I've gone back to my standby routine of icing/heating and gentle stretches and throwing in a nightly ice bath to help the inflamation go down that flares up during the day and walking around the office.

Hopefully i'll be back to my former self before the try-a-tri which is listed for the 5th of May (two weeks sunday) so fingers crossed!
