Training Log Archive: salal

Hilly bike ride in Coquitlam / Port moody... nice to be outside, ankle felt ok-ish in brace but forefoot was hurting.

Mobility / strength exercises at the physio - thera band and gentle tilts on the wobble board while sitting down (and ultrasound and stim)

Pool running, with some pick ups (~30s) where I tried with no flotation device. Kept toes up / heels down so the ankle was not flopping around. So monotonous...

Little bit of swimming after I got bored of pool running. No legs (flotation device between them) since kicking flaps the ankle.

Little bit of strength in the gym and some core when waiting for them to switch the lanes at the pool.

Warm up, with some sprints / silly walks

Little sloppy and feeling hesitant, some problems reading the contours since 5m seems a bit vague on a sprint map. Then trying to go faster in the easier stuff at the end I jumped over a rope fence next to a trail in the cabin area and believe I came down on the side of my foot... bam, there goes the training camp this week for sure, and maybe the season.
I have been hobbling around on crutches or mostly staying at home ever since. Xray at emergency said it is not broken, but a grade 2 sprain high up above and forward of the malleolus. Very swollen in that area initially, now tender to the touch in that area semi swollen all around and bruised...
