Ouch

Ignore what i said in my last post about doing triathlon nationals.  

today i went for a 50 min ride on my TT bike and a 20 min run, and my neck was in a lot of pain afterwards.  the pain is worse than ever, and my shoulder periodically goes numb.

i went to UHS, and i didn't leave with a clear diagnosis.  they took x-rays (which were really blurry and probably not done very well).  he said that there was some degeneration in the back of my neck, which doesn't sound like a good thing, but he didn't seem to be too concerned.  other than that, i signed up for physical therapy.

i'm bummed and i feel so flaky, but i just cannot do triathlon nationals.  i can't imagine how much pain i would be in after a whole race considering how bad it was today.  i didn't even attempt swimming.
