Something in my upper thigh (groin maybe?)
Posted: Wed Mar 28, 2012 7:36 pm
Last week at the pv event, immediately afterwards I felt a slight pain in my gut, more to my left side every time I stepped. I also felt an arcing strain or somewhat of a pull on my left inner thigh, and that area hurt with every step - not immensely, but enough to bug me. I had to skip my hurdles event because it hurt me so badly when I tried practice running. I hate scratching.
Now, one week later, the pain is gone in my gut, but the thigh or groin (not sure of a diagnosis or anything) still comes back after I run or vault for awhile. After pv tomorrow, I have 110 and then 300 hurdles. I don't want to come across as a pansy trying to get out of my events to my coach, but if need be I will refrain from "manning up" and really exacerbate the injury. I just hate letting my coach down. Anyways, I stretch a lot and warm up well before any events, but this injury only seemed to hurt legitimately immediately after my pole vault event ended last week. It could be a strain, tear, or whatever, but I described it to my coach the day-of and he said it is just because I hadn't done pole vault since the previous year and it was hard on my body - I'll be fine in a few days.
Not sure about all this though..
