Training Log Archive: Bomb

mtb ride on forestry roads near coffs harbour. lots of big hills, and about an hour of the ride was along awesome eroded rocky fire road (which would have been totally undriveable), so scored a much better day out than expected.

Rode trolls and took Lisa out for her first real trolls ride. Ian ran over a little asian girl who crashed her bike right in front of him. He scored some frequent flyer points, but nobody got injured.

knee was ok for riding - started to ache after a while, but didn't get any nasty pain. Looks like cycling is going to be a good option for cross training for a while. I'm very happy I can do something!!

physio recons I've got a cyst on the meniscus - I've got a big lump (about the size of a grape) sticking out on the inside of my knee. its really hard (like bone). The pain is from the lump pushing the rest of my knee out of alignment - so running with it there is a really bad idea.
I'm off to get an MRI on Friday, and seeing the knee doctor on Wednesday. I'll know more then.

Physio did say I can cycle if it doesn't hurt... so I might try that when it stops raining.

physio this morning. knee is stuffed.

C • how stuffed???? 1

started running down to training, but only made it about 2mins before I decided my knee was not going to improve enough for running to be possible. iced it when I got home, and made a physio appointment for 9.30 tomorrow morning.

jogged around putting out and collecting controls for a schools orienteering event I organised today.
would have liked to add a longer run on, but knee puffed up and was sore to walk on by the end.
ice ice baby!!
