I was really hoping I was able to keep going with my triathlon training but unfortunately it was just bad timing for me and my shins. All of 2021 I struggle with running because of my Shins and I couldn't figure out what was causing the issue. I didn't know if it was the way I ran or what but it was frustrating. Then I kept getting multiple issues with the bike I had and because the repair shops t...
