Oh man, that bites, and I can totally relate.
I have a small defect I guess in both shoulder joints, means they can come out of place very easily if your arm is in the wrong direction & extended out too far. It was happening to me in all kinds of crazy ways when I was younger (leaning against a pole, etc.) Bad thing was, it got harder to pop back in each time.
There is surgery that corrects it, but when I had it done, my recovery was a bear. There are some strength exercises too to tighten that up. Main one I remember is keeping elbow at your side, pull some resistance pulley/band, etc. from right to left across your body and then out the opposite way. As always those, I'd check with a Dr. That was just my experience.
Good luck, step back, try to understand the issue, but don't give up!

Its tuesday 3 days later from my accident and I have already been searching for ways that I could still be in the sport. I know that there are team events and I am going to look into that. What if i could get someone else to do the swim leg of the race and then I could do the bike and run? Is this legal? I think that biathlons involve a swim then a run but that wont really help me. Tomorrow the Nike Town running club will meet and I hope I can run in a sling. My bike is on the way and my bike shop isnt happy about the injury since I am supposed to be sporting there name.

Duathlon - run, bike, run. Not a swimming pool in sight.

I have been practicing my swimming in the pool and have decided to take into open waters. Well I can say that it has been great in the pool with the line on the bottom and no current. In my open ocean swim after about 200 meters out I disloacated my shoulder. I then had to swim back with one arm against current. Has anyone ever had this happen to them before?
I doubt if i will be able to compete in the Koolina triathlon anymore. I can still run with one arm though. I guess im going back to just running.
