Thanks.

I was having some knee problems in the couple of weeks leading up to the STP, and about forty miles in on Sunday my left knee was letting me know that it was very not happy. Ibuprofen, frequent stops, and ice packs kept the pain at bay enough for me to finish (I was absolutely determined to get to the finish line), but a check-in with the doctor this morning has confirmed that I'm probably off the bike for a bit--at the very least until all of the swelling and fluid pressure is gone.

Other than that, I feel awesome. I'm loving running my hands over the solid tightness that is my leg muscles, and thinking about how far they carried me this weekend.
