Risk Management 101

One of the things that I will definitely NOT be doing during the training phase (ie. in the 10 months or so leading up to IM) is playing hockey. For some reason I have a knack for injuries, particularly to the lower extremeties. If I'm not twisting a knee I'm taking a shot off the foot, and these are not the kinds of injuries that you want if you plan on a smooth training program.

Again last night with the foot injury - a shot off the heel has re-aggravated a previous injury and will probably make my race this sunday more difficult. I'm glad it's only a sprint, but still.

So, once this summer hockey season is over that's it until next August. Hockey poolie yes, hockey player no.
