Had one of my best bike workout today.  Rode a hard 27.  Went up several hills (Goosenest to Elk Ridge and down Loafer Canyon Road.

Hit 23 mph many times.  I listened to some other triathletes who talked about relaxing on the bike and that helped.  Noon workout.  Did a morning lifting session.

Nice job on the ride John. Was the knee kind to you today?

It was kind of strange. I noticed at mile 15 I had not felt a thing. Then all at once it started to throb with pain. Then it was ok. I am not sure if the whole thing is these pains that come and go. But I don't want to take that chance to find that out. I had been lifting on it this week and that might be helping it. I think the best way to solve the problem is to correct the muscle imbalance.

Great ride today. I didn't know that you were doing tri's? I think doing a tri is harding than going around the golf course twice. Good job!
