G,
Hey, at least it happened at the end of the year! Overuse from skiing = good thing. JC always tells you to do a "touch" so maybe he's to blame.

I've been bothered for years by tendonitis, mostly in the wrist, from pole planting. Light carbon poles are much better than old Aluminum.  Mostly, pain occurs when I plant out in front and the pole sort of rebounds off a hard surface and comes back at me. I cut my poles down this season by two inches and I think this reduces the rebound. Perhaps swinging the arm a little forward contributes.

Golf is so much easier this year. ;D. Temps are 20 degrees above average, while it ruined spring skiing, warm weather has been fun for biking and golf.
