13 days to go!

My knee is feeling better! I successfully biked 65 miles yesterday with Coach Jeremy. My knee felt weak and sore in the morning, but I crossed my fingers that the clips and cleats were now correctly aligned and I would not be doing further damage. I said it first here, Paul Serafini and Robert Miceli are genius! They both helped heal me back. Paul suggested the foam roller and Mr. Miceli fixed up my alignment.

Glove in my Mouth. I'm really doing this though!


After 20 miles of riding, we took a short break for goos and treats. I stepped off my bike and walked around. My knee didn't feel horrible! Was this is a sign that I'm going to be ok? I didn't get too excited because my threshold for pain is relatively high and I'm not very good at judging pain levels.

We stopped again at Verrill Farm for lunch after completing 40 miles. I had a delicious ham sandwich, jelly beans and chocolate milk. Once we started rolling again, my legs did not want to go. I don't think it was the food that slowed me down, I think it was the amount of rest in between riding and starting. We probably rested for 20 - 30 minutes. Now, I know for the century ride to limit the breaks to 15 minute increments.

We rode all over the area above and even below Rt 2. Look we went all the way to Wayland & Sudbury yesterday!
