Around Christmas I had a doozy of a crash on the mountain bike. I didn't land on my hip, I landed on my shoulder and head. I twisted the hip as it was coming out of the pedal. It was sore and I called it a day. I did run the next day and it really only hurt getting back into my truck afterward. It was getting better but then one day in February I did a hard track workout, running, and then a lot of kicking in the pool. It hurt like all heck the next day and I called the doctor. With a trip to Hawaii in the middle it took until today to see him. I did my first triathlon of the comeback while in Hawaii with the run on the deep sand. I had a good race with no problems. A few days later after another swim with lots of kicking I was sore again. Had the X-ray the other day and it was negative. I thought it would be. Saw Dr Marwin today and he says its a groin strain or sprain and that it will heal slowly. And that I can keep training around it
Back on the anti-inflamitories and back on the ice and heat. And I've got to be more careful on the mountain bike.
Good news, Woodstock - just the usual training pains and strains. ;D
Nice to think of it that way. Not that I minimize groin pulls or strains, but it's a normal part of being an athlete.
Yes Hern, at first I thought it was nothing. Then when I had that first really painful day I figured I'd better get it checked. Luckily it's just a warning that I have to be a little more careful especially on the mountain bike.
All's well that ends well I guess.
