L Lower Leg, Stress Fracture

2007-10-20 – 2008-02-22

Grade: 4

Started after Cape Odyssey, probably triggered by tight ITBs.

Injury was caused by over-racing. Cape Odyssey week 1, Eden Challenge week 2, Rogaine week 3. It was finally diagnosed as a Grade 4 Stress Fracture, the worst. There was a complete break across the upper part of the bone, high shin area. Took 4 months off running, intially on crutches for 1.5 months.
