Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I've gotten more understanding from you than from my partner. I recognize that I'm going through a mourning process for my lost training and lost goals.

On the positive/moving forward side:
  • I swam yesterday and it felt good; no knee issues there.
  • I'm scheduled for a comprehensive bike fitting on Tuesday; I'm somewhat worried that he's going to tell me "Sorry, that bike just doesn't fit you". Kinda irrational, but...
  • PT starts on Wednesday.


I feel like, at this point, I can't plan anything for next season. DP sees this as being pessimistic; I see it as recognizing that I have no idea how rehab will go or how long it may take to be able to get back to real training. How can I set goals at this point? I'm still dealing with the loss of this year's goals!
