Note
(injured)
Walking around without strapping the leg, although it still aches and has restricted movement. So running in CO this weekend not likely :)
On the good news front have entered the Wisconsin Senior Olympics, a NSG qualifier, Milwauke Sept 6th- NO sprints!!
Physio/massage tonite.

Walking 18:00 [1] 1.6 km (11:15 / km)
Everything tight and grumpy today. All told covered 7km and achieved steps target for the first time since Friday
Strength warm up/down 45:00 [1]
Abs, core and upper, then some diagnostics. Could not do SL bridges on left side, but isolated ham curls were OK. That and location of discomfort suggests glut minimus or piriformis spasm/ tear.
Interesting and made me recall the thoughts that went through my mind at the time of injury- this does not feel like a regular ham tear- golf ball like cramp in mid outer buttock, but deep in, and I even said to the attending physio when I couldn't stand up - this might be a piriformis issue. Story continues.......

Massage (Physio) 1:00:00 [1]
So physio checks a few things and concludes a glut minimus strain. Unusual injury but likely from over striding with an inward rotating thigh ie poor form!!
Anyhow she worked some magic loosening tight quads and hams and put her finger on the spot. Ice and heat helped as well followed by application of KT. Marked improvement since am.

Note
Disaster = fail. First up the 100m, and really just a warm up for me. Striding well and healthy lead at 50m, sure to qualify then wham bam cramp at top of left hamstring. Immediately called it a day and hobbled off. Hamstring/glut spasm end and need help the field to be attended by 2 physics on site for the day. Crutches ice and packed up for the day.
Really pissed, made it home and now icing (RICEing) for last 5 hours. Mental state improving as I check in with my emotional state. Remind myself to live in the moment. Sooooo disappointing! Really felt my season was just starting and news it's ended I just a second. Unpredictable, and didn't change my usual warmup routine, but life in the fast lane when you push the performance envelope :( Anyhow mobile with strapping as I have to get to a work-related party!
