R Foot, Ankle Sprain

2009-06-21 – 2009-09-16

Grade: 3

Hit by a car while on IMUK09 training ride (150k), right leg must have wrenched while clipped in when I hit the car (which reversed out of a driveway into me when I was coming down a hill, about 40k/hr)

Cortisone injection after 2 months. Responded straight away, with swelling completely gone after 10 days. Didn't run for 2 weeks after the injection (so all up, no running for nearly 3 months!). Eased back into running via walk/jog combo for a week, then slow, short jogs for a week. Resumed full running (which isn't much bc I'm aerobically unfit now) 3 weeks after injection.
