Better than last time

Last week, ninety minutes on the bike of pretty easy pedalling generated a significant level of discomfort in my knee, enough that I've scheduled an appointment with a sports doc to get things checked. This week, the level of intensity was basically the same, but the time was up to two hours. Result: no discomfort. This is the product of spending a week studying fitting dimensions, and stretching the unholy crap out of my hamstrings. I'll need to keep that second one up for the rest of the year (and further, unless the sports doc has a better answer), but at this point I'll take doing 10-20 minutes of stretching, massage, and trigger point therapy everyday over not being able to ride at all.

Bike: 120 minutes, zone 1-2
