| Koen | 3 days | Paar dagen rust gehouden en daarna een testloopje gedaan om te zien of het beter was, en nergens meer last van. | details |
| o-pia | 4 days | Can't feel the inflamation, so I hope it has in a way recovered.. | details |
| vandy6616 | 4 days | Warm up and slower pace seems to do the trick. | details |
| mklein | 4 days | Believe it is due to shoes and volume increase from holidays. Do not run for the devices (HRM, Spd). They can make you run too hard! Still on the mend, will continue to run at lower intensities/ sub in biking. | details |
| acejase | 5 days | seemed to get sore from stretching post run? | details |

| Koen | 6 days | details | |
| mikee | 7 days | Probably caused by increased training plus unusual stress on the foot (snowshoeing plus a long off-trail training in snow). I think rest is the most important in this case. Used anti-inflamotory gel. Should not have done the training 31.12.05. | details |

| Scotta | 9 days | I think I made two stupid mistakes: 1. I did not warm up before the race. I sat inside the chalet until the start, then hammered. The big hill immediately at the start is followed by relentless hills for 20k or so. 2. New ski boots.I switched from Solomon Race Skate 9 to the Solomon RS Carbon. Supposedly it encourages ankle flex; I haven't trained on them jut bought them and raced in them. Violated the golden rule of never trying new equipment on race day. Now I'm paying big time fo... | details |

| paul | 516 days | I caused my hidious injuries by running home, not in running shoes, severly pissed after a work party in the middle of nowhere at which noone was in any condition to drive!. At first it was inspirational, It was pissing cats and dogs, I was invincible, the 15km hilly run was a piece of piss and was going to be the start of my comback.
