Training ups and Downs

[Ward]

I rode my first century of the year. Wheels of Fire here in Pine Mt,
Ga with 6800 feet of climbing. I did well, riding my race without
pacing any at all I ended at 5:44 TT, and 5:35 ride time. With the
high winds and the amount of climbing I feel pretty good about it.
Fluid status stayed okay, of course it wasn't hot, and no stomach
issue's. The Sea Dragon just did her thing.

However, I have developed an over-training injury. Bursitis in my
left knee. There is a site just below the knee on the inside where
several muscles attack to the tibia and it is not uncommon for this to
become inflammed.

So, here I sit with ice on my knee wondering if I will be able to ride
Heart of the South.
