I was flying with my last block of training... I had a great run speedwork session and two days later pushed it a bit to get that feeling of everything coming together... calf felt like it was stiffening but I ignored it and got a sharp pain. Yes. Very stupid.

[edited] In hindsight, I think it's more the soleus, just below the meat of the gastrocnemius on the medial side of the calf.

I rested ten days, picking up the slack with bike turbo sessions and it was still painful. Twelve days I managed 1km on the treadmill before the muscle started to feel like the stabbing pain might return. 14 days another 1km and the same. I'm rolling the area daily with a Triggerpoint roller and ball. I've got a race in two weeks...

Do I call it quits? Race and drop out at T2 with some race practice? Anyone have a good recovery strategy for the next two weeks?

I accept that this A race is now compromised.
