Considering I didn't think I would finish, I'm happy. No pain in the right knee (progress), lots of pain in the left knee (maybe a little progress since it didn't give out). Really wish I could have tried for my 1:45 goal I set a month ago, but realistically today was about as well as it could have gone.

Just completing the Omaha 1/2 mary seems to be slightly out of reach and the rest of the season looks bleek. I'll show up at the starting line in Omaha Sunday morning, but realisticly, finishing will be something just short of a miracle. My legs felt strong last night (even after an IM swim day) but the knees just feel like someone taking a bat to them. I am certainly looking forward to the end of the season when I can concentrate on biking and swiming. I am also going to incorporate more strength workouts into the mix in hopes of this ailment not occuring again.

I will attempt yoga, master's swim, and running tonite. Looking forward to ramping up volume as soon as possible.

More knee pain (and I haven't run since Saturday) and a head cold. Things are not looking good for this weekend...I hate it.

Got Laura's bike fixed, the tension in the front derailleur was way too tight and wouldn't shift into the small ring. I had another flat when we were getting ready to ride, fixed it and while pumping up the new tire it popped. Took the tire and wheel to Bike Source to have it checked out...must have just pinched it.
