Mean Old Injury Bug

Damn. I thought I was bulletproof.

Not.

Eight years ago, I fractured my collarbone and separated my shoulder while playing co-ed soccer. It never healed correctly and I just dealt with it.

Five years ago, I was involved in a car accident where I separated the shoulder again. The healing went poorly.

Fast forward to the insanity known as training for an Ironman. I stressed the shoulder constantly and it stayed sore throughout the training regimen.

Last night, it finally showed its ass. I was doing intervals and something went pop.

Not good.

Now, I can't pick up a coffee cup without pain. The thought of swimming makes me cringe.

Can I breaststroke the swim at Gulf Coast?
