Today was my second run since spraining my ankle (2.32 miles @ 10:16 pace). I'm really dismayed by how much my running has suffered from the forced time off. I increased my distance and improved my pace since Thursday, but I've got basically 4 more runs before the triathlon and I don't know if I'll be able to get my distance back up to 3.1 and pace back down near 9 minutes.

Well, they say you can take a week off and after that your fitness levels start to suffer.
Although, I would kill for a 10:16 minute mile! But that is besides the point.
Injuries do suck. I'm so paranoid of getting one because I know 1 injury, even a simply one, takes you out of the game for weeks or months.
