So Like A Dumb Ass.....
I did the Cowichan even though I had the injury.
I ended up walking a good portion of the 5k course because my ITB hurt so bad.
I have now cancelled any plans I had for tris while on vacation in Ontario. I am hoping this thing gets healed by the time I get back so I can do the Cadboro Bay tri. I plan on signing up while on vacation if I can run without pain. Crossing my fingers.
With my new job with the CF it is unknown as to when I will be taking career courses and as such it is putting a real wrench in the works for me doing an IM next season. If I am on course Oct-MAr it will work but if I end up on Mar -Jun then I am hooped.
I think I may change my plans to doing instead, 2 HIM, 2 OLYM and a few sprints and just bettering my performance. Hopefully wherever I go has a good tri scene...nothing like Victoria I know but I can hope.
I also ended up in the Cowichan Newspaper on the sports front page as 'another rider'. Apparently they were not clever enough to check my number. Its a good shot and you can I am hunched over from the pain, yet still beating someone.
NE how all the best I go on vacation shortly....to all of the thieves out there, my bike is elsewhere and someone is watching the house (raspberry)

I AM SO INJURED
Well after the 1/2 I decided to take 3 days with no exercise whatsoever and felt great.
Even after that I eased into it, 5k the first day, 8k the second, back down to 5k, a 1500m OW swim, and a 30k TT.
Well after the first 5k I felt sore in the front and side of my hip and my knee. It has gotten progressively worse every day.Even with no training over a 5 day period it still did not get better.
Even though I am injured I am goingto do the Cowichan Challenge since I paid for it and all. If that goes not too bad, I will do the tri for compassion and then take 3 weeks off while on vacation. I was planning on doing 2 races wile I was there but I think the rest will do me good.
Anyhow I will report next most likely after the CC.
