So yeah, Trinona is not going to happen. Walking to work, I somehow managed to roll my ankle for no apparent reason. Because it was me, I also managed to obtain a chip fracture. This is the same ankle I sprained pretty badly about four years ago, so this isn't entirely new ground for me. Actually, I'm pretty sure the actual ligament damage is less this time, but a fractured bone evens that out. So, I'm in a boot for the next couple weeks for sure, and then my doctor will reassess.
I'm pretty bummed, truth be told. Right now, I'm just thinking of how much ground I'm going to lose on the swim/bike/run front. I was set to have this be a good season for me on the bike, and I'm a little worried how this is going to affect that. On the running front, I'm likely going to have to stick to the road for a good portion of the summer which is no fun. And swimming...well, losing more mobility in that ankle is unlikely to do good things for my speed in the water.
In the spirit of my new resolution to be more positive, I'm trying to view this as an opportunity to let my back and knee heal up completely. In the meantime, I'm going to do my best to not lose ground on the weight front and maybe gain some on the upper body strength side. I do know I'm already getting a bit anxious to be out and about, so I need to find something to do. Rehab suggestions welcome!
