Hey you all, this is not for me. There is a post about a page or two back from Joann wiess about Utah half IM course. Its pretty ambigous,on how she asked about the course.I told her about this site ,though I am a newbee. She has been an aerobic instructer for 20 yrs(she is the head of our YMCA)She is very concerned about the layout of the course(if anyone"s beeen on it)She has about a year or so in Tri"s and has trained very hard for this half. She currently is having a problem with her left leg when running,hurts when her leg is coming up (not during push off but after) on the outside of the knee,pain is straight line above and below the joint.Is concerned if she should still run on it or just wait till race day.To sum up though, she is kind of worried and I told her this site was a great place to meet people and learn.If anyone could reply to her post and give her some encouragement it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a whole lot Ken
I couldn’t find the post, but let her know Ze Gopha wishes her the very best.
Concern is good, it shows you what you are going to do and makes it special.
The rodent who thought that up on the spot.

I’m no doc, but this is sure a symptom I’ve not encountered. Pain on the outside of the knee… not much over there but the IT band, but would think she would feel the pain during the foot-strike, not after. You have to nail the diagnosis, time to see the ortho doc. The knee is not something to leave for amatures to dx and tx.
