Enforced lay off...

So following my exploits at the Relays where I failed to get out on the run, I have had to take a back seat and try and let my calf repair.

There's some damage deep within the muscle and I'm hoping that its not going to keep me out of action for too long. I started to cycle the commute again this week, and also swam for 30 minutes on Wednesday evening with no reaction bar a little stiffness. The big test will come tomorrow I'm sure as I venture out with Lincoln Wheelers for a steady 40 mile ride.

Gutted to have had to cancel 3 races this month, but after 4 years of racing with little injury and little time off, maybe this is a break that I really needed and will do me good!

Plan to start running again with light jogging in a further three weeks as need to give things time to repair.
Until then.....

  1. That's a nice bit of taping Andy! Sorry to hear you're injured though but as you say, the rest certainly won't hurt and you'll come back stronger for it. I've joined LincolnTri and no doubt we'll meet up again soon. Thanks for your good wishes about Lastminute Tri, John
