severity grade: 3
Ankle Sprain on the first race of the Australian Chapionships Carnival, (day 1 of the WA Championships). Fell badly in the finish chute after running from the top of a small boulder straight into a hole. Still managed to win M21A for the day, but unable to compete for the rest of the carnival. X-Rays in York hospital confirmed a bad sprain (no breaks) but after 10 days, still bruised, and limited mobility. First Physio tommorrow to asses the recovery.
Well it has taken a while to get to this stage, and there is still further Re-Hab to go, but since it really was not a concern tofay on the run and the swelling and general pain is gone i consider this ankle somewhat recovered.
Still have exxcercises and physio visits to go but all in all it is feeling pretty good. Pity though, i can no longer use this as an excuse!
