Advice for Transferring Race
Originally planned to do IMLP this year, but am not comfortable continuing because injuries have got me behind.
History:
Rolled ankle bad in jan, couldn't run for ~2 months
Broke wrist in march, couldn't swim for ~6 weeks
Strained hamstring in April, had to go really low volume for ~2 weeks
Starting to feel some IT band, might be related to bike fit or weak glutes but haven't figured it out yet
before I strained my hamstring, my long bike was at 4-5Hrs comfortably and my run was steadily increasing, but since then I've just been plagued with injuries even working from low volume, and it feels like my fitness has really decreased. Originally I planned to transfer to IM Wisconsin, but I'm starting to wonder if even that will be a reach. I'd hope that my fitness would come back quickly, but worried injuries will continue to come my way.
Options I'm considering:
- Transfer to Wisconsin Full (lots of friends doing)
- Buy Wisconsin half (also lots of friends doing) and transfer to IMLP next year
- Transfer to IM Maryland
- Transfer to IM Chatanooga
Thoughts?
