the big question is how long before Kona? It is a banned substance for use IN Competition. I dont know what that exact definition means as it pertains the the lasting effect of a cortisone injection.

Have you considered asking your doctor? Presuming he/she is a sports med doc I would assume he/she is familiar with WADA doping rules....
Corticosteroids are prohibited in competition only so you should be fine having this done now before Kona.
Safest option is to get a TUE anyway, but I don't think it needs to be done in this instance.
