L Knee, Patellar tendonitis
2012-09-01 – 2012-10-26
Grade: 2
250 km of stage racing w tight IT bands flared up both left and right patellar tendons, with the left lingering and being the worst. 1.5 week post race no running. Tried on 13th at COP trails and knee was painful second half - stabbing pain. Back on Naproxen which manages it well. Initiated more rolling and physio plus gluteal strengthening. Acted up 3 weeks later in Kenya, but was fine in Egypt (with poles), Cambodia (2 weeks post Egypt - w poles), and the 1/2 in the 70.3.
