Potential disaster

It's funny how things happen.  I had an early start with a run then a swim. At my desk for 9am and got through lots of work before my sports massage.  It was agony as my glutes needed a lot off attention and by that I mean a pointy elbow!  My quads and calfs weren't much better so I was relieved when my coach told me to miss the turbo session tonight so I could recover before my 40 mile bike race tomorrow.
When I got home my son asked me to go in goals while he practiced his shooting - what could possibly go wrong?  2nd shot was a screamer and I put my foot out to stop it.  Foot twisted which resulted in a twisted knee.  He had to give me a piggie back into the house.
Ice, elevation, compression and anti-inflammatory pills.  Know I'll need to wait till the morning to see if I am fit enough to cycle.  It just goes to show how easy it is to injure yourself and all the training goes out the window.   Fingers crossed for tomorrow!
