MRI
Eli 24.7 finally had his MRI read last night.
No stress fracture of his knee, but his IT band looked a bit gnarly, and the doctor also said he has patellar tendinopathy.
Both were a result of the training he needed to do for the ultra and the amount of steep downhill running he did in the race itself.
The good news is both of those issues are eminently fixable, and he'll do the necessary exercises with his usual level of zeal.
The other bit of good news is that playing hockey won't affect either injury at all. He only has one more game to play this season--the Rivalry game--and then he's unofficially retired from competitive hockey.
In four years of playing for Oxford, he never lost a home game.
