I participated in the Colorado Springs, CO race on May 5, 2012. This past Wednesday my elbow became very sore. By the end of the day it was so sore I could not move it. It was red and swollen as well. I ended up going to the emergency room to have it checked. After the exam and X-rays, I got an antibiotic shot and an anti-inflammatory shot in my butt. During the mud crawl in the race there were weeds in the mud that cut up my elbows. The continued crawling in the mud forced mud into the open cuts resulting in an infection a few days later. I cannot be the only one this happened to, so you may want to put the word out.
