Pain in the Domain/ankle

Following Monday's successful return to running, I decided that it was time I make a return to Pain. Big mistake!

It was a particularly warm and humid day (29 degrees and 90% humidity) and so the going was always going to be tough.

There were hundreds of people running and so I dropped down to group 5 out of 7. The lowest I have ever been.

Everything started well and was going to plan until the drop down after sprint 2 when I went over on my ankle AGAIN! This time it was the left ankle. Clearly I was over compensating for the weakness in my right ankle!

Although the pain was obvious, I again decided to finish the set as I figured it wasn't as bad as the right.

From then on the session turned into a bit of a slog in the heat, but I finished kind of strongly.

Immediately the ankle flared up again and is now swollen. So that makes two busted ankles now!

More swimming for me then.....

Total time: 31.56
G2G: 2.56
Ave HR: 148
Max HR: 168
