rolled my ankle yesterday playing soccer, nothing aggressive, just fun play and a freak accident.

2 weeks till my last race of the season (half distance race) and basically i'm freaking out.

ankle is a bit swelled, hurts to rotate and walk.

going to the dr this week hopefully

anyone know anything of an injury like this and how to help heal it? will it be healed by my race? kind of in freak out mode right now!

Aside from Rest-Ice-Compression and elevation?  No other remedies.  The work is done, this is taper time.  Don't stress the ankle by trying to run or do elliptical ...use the trainer for your bike workouts so you don't stress it as much--though clipping in & out may be an issue.  Use a pull buoy if needed to cut down on the kicking effect on it.

sprained ankle you can straight line run on ok. It might hurt but it will work. Hopefully you learned your lesson about soccer and proximity to important races.

I just had a couple of problems, I could count the number of triathlons I had contested at zero. Secondly, I could count on one hand the number of times I had been swimming in the last 17 years.
This is, after all, Ironman.

My training was taking off. I had never felt stronger. I was making bigger strides than I ever had. I was stronger and faster than I had imagined myself ever being.
