Knee

This morning I went to Dr. Wood and he did quite a bit of work on my knee and the surrounding muscles. He still doesn’t think there’s anything really wrong with it other than tightness and some inflammation. He doesn’t see anything wrong with my plan to ride about 500 miles over the next 3 days including the RMCC 300k brevet. He said that on Monday I may want to do a ride with less climbing since the ride I’m planning on will have about 12,000 vertical in 140 miles.

I also had my friend at Front Range Orthopaedics take a look at my knee. He said I had a little soreness around one of my ligaments but it felt alright. He thinks a big problem is that my hamstrings, IT band, and quads are too tight and putting stress on my knee. He gave me a bunch of stretches to do and said some ice and massage would help. He also said he didn’t see any reason to back off on my training.
