NOLA
Subject: First triathlon IM NOLA 70.3
I used to play rugby and prior to having a kidney removed I am beginning my triathlon career at the Ironman New Orleans 70.3.  So far my long run was 10 miles in 1:48 and my long bike was 40 miles avg. 18.9 mph.  Long swim so far was 1200 in 24 min.  I have developed runner's knee (as stated by a sports med. dr.) any help on working through this would be great.  Also, I am running the Mardi Gras Rock and Roll Half Marathon Sunday the 28th.

Welcome!  I am doing NOLA also as my first HIM (completed 5 sprints and a Dua last year).  Not much help on the runners knee but you might try the Tri Talk forum or the Runnersworld beginners forum where I know there are some folks who have dealt with this (I hang out a little on their forums also).

I went see a chiropractor the other day and got some kinesio tape.  He gave me ideas on how to tape it before the half marathon and see how it does.  I'm not a distance runner.  This should be interesting!

I would recommend if your knee is still bothering you on the 28th to skip the half marathon - otherwise you could lose the training time for the HIM.  If you do it take it easy!
