FATMAN 2 IRONMAN UK 2010- A journey by Jason Briley by jasonnawty

Went out for a 40miler on Saturday then to meet up with the club to do another 40 with them but my knee was so painfull I could only do 15’s.  Any faster and I was nearly crying in pain.  I limped back to the shop and rung our club physio and she said to stop cycling and go see her.  I did.  She did many tests and came to the conclusion that my knee cp is slightly off centre, probably from the crash.  So to get it to go back I need to massage it deeply behind the knee cap, then ice it. Also I have to go to the gym to strengthen the quad on that side to help pull it into place.  I have been looking after it as she said since then including a trip to the gym this morning.  Saw loads of old faces doing the same old shit.  Boring as hell.  Lots of saucy looking girlies though so the view was pleasant.  I did my quad exercises and some upper body while I was there.  Then after and hour I though I would jump on a spin bike and put some pressure on my knee to see how it’s coming along.  It felt great.   Might be mended already.    I hope so.  This is my last full weeks training.  I am still positive and absolutely buzzing to getting near the end of this journey.  Really stamping on the diet this week.  I have 4lbs to lose to get into the 14’s and I am determined to do it now.
