L Foot, Ankle Sprain

2022-04-03 – 2022-06-10

Grade: 3

During the 3rd day of the Flying Pig, when I was favoring my left leg, it was tired and dragged across a log. I tripped and caught it on a second small log as I fell. I heard 2 distinct cracks as tendons were injured and the ankle hyper-extended (full toe extension). It took me a while to get up and go again but I ran more than a mile more afterward without too much loss of speed or usage.

There's gradually been less strain so time helped me heal. I think recent cycling also helped there to be more blood flow to the injury and that improved it too.
