To/from ais pool. Cut through oconner ridge which was really nice :) might venture onto some single tracks next time!

C • uhhh 4

Pool running at ais, did 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 all with 1min rec. legs were tired! Yesty must have been more taxing than I thought.
Actually really enjoyed it :)

Shin felt twingey during ints (pushing harder against the water)...bit strange. Don't think it could be making anything worse though!

pool running @ ais
caught the bus there, and got the times off google transit.....which were WRONG so i had to sit around waiting for my bus for ages! forget this not riding business...next time i'll take my bike!
good session, did 6x5mins w 1min rec.

dunno how much time i'll have to take off yet (find out tuesday), but am going to be quite generous. had a bone density scan not long ago which showed my bones are extraordinarily dense, and (quote sports dr) 'stress fractures should never be a problem for me'. so i figure if despite that i got one, my legs must have been under a lot of strain.....so a lengthy rest is in order!!

Got my bone scan results this morning: from what I understood from the report I've got shin splints and a stress fracture in my left tibia :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

not riding for a week or so as it's hurting my shin.
hopefully get some pool running in during the week.....

Another hard session on the trainer, did proper intervals though:)
Sweated so much, must have been working hard!! Hopefully sweated out all the radioactive stuff they injected me with for my bone scan.

sorta the same as yesty (on the trainer). intensity 5 again as i havent really worked out how to take it easy! that prob makes no sense....but just spent the whole time going pretty hard. will do some proper intervals next time, just sussing it out at the moment.

bit of a mix-up with my appt for CT spect scan (not the first time they've screwed me over for an appt) so am getting it tomorrow morning instead. dont think i'll know the result till next tuesday anyway so guess it doesnt matter! gahh gotta be patient....

rang sports dr this morning and managed to score an appt this arvo. yay!
went for a small test run out of curiosity - shin doesnt hurt to walk on anymore but could feel it during the run. havent done anything for a week though....
hoping for some good news this arvo.....surely my extremely-above-average bone density means i cant get a stress fracture ;)

bike ints on the trainer. never used one before but they make intervals so good! you can push so hard.....though time does go slower, listened to a lecture i missed and it seemed to take foreverrrrr.

sports dr appt as expected: cant tell anything until i get a scan (having CT scan tomorrow morning) but could be a) stress fracture b) shin splints c) compartment syndrome.
doubt it's (c) - doesnt feel like that, surely can't be (a) either......so that leaves shin splints!
will have to wait and see......
