I am Ironman

Or perhaps "I am RoboFoot", as we've come to call it.

See, I sprained my ankle a couple of weeks ago, making it inadvisable for me to do the triathlon I'd been training for, and more or less cramping my style ever since due to the plastic Ironman-looking contraption I'm strapped into.

I thought I'd be able to take it off for good yesterday, but the podiatrist said no, one more week. Then time for physical therapy. I'm still hoping that I'll be able to get back to triathlon training in time for a few late-summer races. We'll see.
