Testing begins again

The last few days here in Premanon have been a little rough on me. After a block of hard training days, I began having problems in my right knee. Forced to rest, I suffered cabin fever and boredom in the training facility. Unfortunately, riding seems to be the only good form of entertainment here. Thinking my knee had healed, I performed the Submax test, which caused the pain to return.

During my time off the bike, I was able to watch Russell and Jesse race another local cyclocross race. I had a lot of fun taking pictures and seeing both of them have good days on the bike. Russ was 4th and Jesse was 8th!

Russ rode the run-up when others couldn't.

After more rest, I did two VO2 max tests yesterday and was relieved to find that my knee no longer hurt. The sun is shining today and I can ride again. Life is good!
