Just a quick one.....as my first race approaches ever closer i seem to be getting more aware of possible injuries and suchlike that could ruin it all for me.
I got out of the pool yesterday after doing about 2k and whilst towelling down noticed a weird rash on my shoulder, what made it look worse was that it was a deeper red colour where my vein ran through it. I thought all kinds of stuff.....had i knocked it in the pool? had i been scratching rather over-enthusiastically? Or was i bleeding internally due to the wild amount of strokes i put in per length!!
After a few hours of worry it hit me right between the eyes, it was a stubble rash - caused by my shoulder rubbing against my jaw/chin during the swim.
Triathlon is making me mad!!!!
Anyone else suffering from tri-madness?

Hell, lets all grow beards... Or a nice handlebar moustache at least.
