Alistair Brownlee Injury Update
Created On: 25 February 2012
Here is the official update on Alistair's injury from
Malcolm Brown, British Triathlon's Olympic Performance
Manager:
"Alistair has a small tear in his left Achilles tendon and is
wearing an air cast as a precaution. Obviously this isn't an ideal
situation, but I can say that this has been his best winter's
training, probably ever. We had scheduled a break from training at
the end of the winter period anyway, so I am not overly concerned
at this stage.
"He is swimming every day, and will train on a static bike
today. He has been doing some light running, but now that he's
wearing the cast, we will allow the Achilles to repair before
resuming light running again, hopefully within the next ten
days.
"Alistair's first planned major race is the ITU World Triathlon
San Diego in mid May. We had never intended that he would race the
World Triathlon Series event in Sydney in April, so he still has
three months to prepare for that."
