I think this picture is before my knee blew up during the race.

It hasn’t gotten better, in case you were wondering. Last Thursday, I rode an hour and a half and it blew out again. Since then I’ve just been a combination of freaking out and icing and going to doctors and freaking out some more.

I figured I’d just get faster at swimming and running, but everything is so sore it feels like it’s just getting worse and worse. My knee had never hurt except the few times cycling. Badly. Then, it was sore some running. Now, I don’t even know — it hurts sitting here.

(P.S. It’s not really my knee. I mean it is the outside of my knee, but it’s really my IT insertion coming down from my hip.)

I think I’ll go back to freaking out now.
