It is practically Easter with tomorrow being the start of the holiday, which means the 2009 DW is happening this weekend. I kind of wish I had aimed to be ready for the ‘09 race because I feel ready to take part (certainly by myself in a K1) but lack of a boat back in September made me hesitate. Ah well. I hope the weather is good for the racers this year.
Anyway, This is my last post of the week as I am heading off to the Med for some spring sun. I have had a quiet week of training as I have still got a painful knee from the Saturday run, this painful knee I have diagnosed via the internet as Chondromalacia which is not an uncommon injury and will probably not develop into anything worse. I just need to rest it and once it stops hurting I need to start building the muscles around my knee in a more moderate fashion (shorter runs!)
I did slip in 45 minutes of swimming on Wednesday. I took it easy for a little while but quite a few people came into the pool and I couldn’t help myself and I raced them up and down the pool for the final 15 minutes.

What you can do
Consult a sports injury expert
Apply ice packs (cold therapy)
Wear a knee brace for protection
Use a buoyancy aid for pool exercises
Tape the knee cap
It looks as if rest is NOT the best medicine.
