First injury of training if you can call it that. Had 3 days of long workouts: 2 hr bike, 1 hr run, then a 1 hr bike and 30 min run. During my run ended up with some crazy knee pain. A friend said it sounded like inflamed tendons in my knees. So ice for 20 min after every workout and 600 mg of Motrin twice a day. The rest of the week is two days of swimming and then a bike ride on Friday, so hopefully by then it will have quieted down. Heading to the chiropractor tomorrow morning for one more adjustment before the race. Got the maps of the bike course and run course yesterday and scoped it out on Google earth. 16.2 miles versus the 17 I had originally thought. I feel like if I can get my rythem on race day in the water I should be just fine seeing that I know I can swim 400 yards and being in the deep water doesn't bother me.
My emotions are all over the place. Its crazy that the training has gone by so fast. I put the time in I should be just fine. Hoping for a finish of around the 2 hour mark. I will be happy with that. Off day tomorrow and then one more long swim Thursday and its downhill from there.
