Today, I have run my third half marathon...with still some pain on my right knee to test, if I could run HM in 21 days on my Ironman 70.3 Singapore...
Quick race report...until Km-6, again very nice running sensations, but just after that one, my knee started heating and hurting a lot for next 15kms...yes, I did finish the half marathon, I believe in 1h56' or something similar, as I reduced more than 1'30'' my pace...I will update with official results as soon as they publish those.
"Where is the limit?" Today, I found it at least for my right knee, I will need to rest without running for at least 2 to 3 weeks and keep going with my stretching, ice, physiotherapist visits and, I still can swim and train my core strength.
Finally, I have decided and communicated to Singapore Ironman 70.3 organization that I withdraw from this race...I have different feelings and thinking, very unhappy and unsatisfied for not reaching my second goal and being forced to delay it, but, I really believe, if I will someday during this year to participate in a 70.3 Ironman race, where, I will be 100% ready for it and without serious injury!

Congrats Xavi!
ReplyDeletesorry to hear about the w/drawal. ;-( but completely understand.
ReplyDeleteOjala que te sientas bien muy pronto. Quidate.
ReplyDeleteXavi, t'escric en català per què sigui tot una mica més internacional, jo crec que tenies dues opcions, o acabar la Mitja marató o fer ekl half, i està clar que les dues coses no. En tot cas, com ve dius, o insinues, aquestes coses s'han de fer amb ganes i amb plenitud de condicions, i tot arribarà. Has provat de canviar-te el calçat? o de basar més l'entrenament en les altres dues disciplines, fer menys running i més bici i natació, que no casquen tant.
ReplyDeleteÀnims!
