Hann tough call. If you have swelling it's probablyna meniscus tear. I've seen that a few times and normally there's swelling

That was that for me then... iced it last night and ibuprofen so it is feeling a little less tender today but think it is patella femoral syndrome or maltracking patella or, well, oractically, the patella is worn and gone a bit ragged and isn't moving exactly as it should, causing trouble
Rest, ice, ibuprofen, stretching and backwards running if that doens't sort it, it may need to be tidied up insideThink my cycliong days are over now as well as my running days damn damn damn!!!
Your no f.,......d
loved it, loved it
I was considerably slower than my mate, but that was to be expected
can get a bit congested round RP though on a saturday a.m. - can see I'd love it even more somewhere quieter ...
thinking about going back for more now, but certain muscles I don't normally use are a bit stiff, like those ones down the side of the thighs ...

Vastus lateralis... and also your IT bands, stretch 'em!
ta, will do
well I just went out again - in pretty horrible weather
3 x 23 min laps - which I bet is very slow but still, it's a start
spent yesterday prepping bike and leaping on and off, woke up this morning feeling like death, and threw up my porridge - inaugral cross race postponed :-(
Awww, Ratfink, hope you feel better soon! I just came on to check out how it went...
Good work Zoot... it takes me about 20/21 minutes to go round when on a training ride, think my one lap PB is just under 18 minutes?
Knee feeling a bit better today after two days of rest, stretching and icing... fingers crossed!
thanks hann! sounds hopeful for your knee - i'm going to see if i can make myrtle park next wk end.
first target now is to break 60 mins for three laps - possibly by new year? or is that asking a lot?
I'm going to do short 'speed sessions' on the exercise bike in the gym to try and get faster .. am I better off going for a high resistance programme, where you're pushing; or low resistance where you're spinning? I feel like it's my leg muscles that are stopping me going faster rather than CV fitness, although the two things are not so easy to separate I suppose ...
good luck with the recovery!

Have to mention a birthday today. Bernard hinault. One of the greatest road men ever.
Apart from eddy I don't think anyone bossed the peloton like he did. Robert millar once said , 95 per cent of the riders are beaten before we even start the race such was the power that the badger had. If anyone tried to take that power away he just use to start hammering on the front for a few miles and they always cracked.
What a rider
