Wishing you the best with a speedy recovery. I think we all understand how disappointing and frustrating an injury can be but even more so for professional athletes.

As well, thank you for being very transparent with everything as I think it helps us understand what happened and may help others in similar circumstances or avoid injury altogether.

How long did you eliminate dairy during the season (days, weeks, months?) Could that period have coincided with intense training for IM, ITU, Superleague?

Stress release of cortisol could have had some effects on the body also that contributed. Hard to say as you mentioned it was probably a lot of different things, but I do hope you'll be back at it soon!
