... so I ran a trail run (7.5 miles) lotta hills and down hills 2 1/2 weeks ago in preparation for Escape From Alcatraz Tri June 9 2024 (7 weeks out) and really sprained my right knee's MCL. Tried to run yesterday but only did 2 miles. Knee was a bit sore, still. Has anyone been plagued with an injury like this 7 weeks before a race? Duh lol. But my plan is to lay off running and swim and bike to keep fitness ... and then as I get closer test it. Plan to get a cortisone shot the week before ... any advice/ideas/strategy would be appreciative? I am a 56 year old who still thinks he's 35 !
