Catrin - I really hope your hammie heals quickly and also that you can get your form to where you can put your seat up to proper height... one thing you are missing is the amount of extra power you will have when you are fitted with your knees at the correct angle. Riding with your seat so low may also have an impact on your knees down the road...
Take care and don't give up!

It has now been 8 days since I was last on my beloved steel steed, I can see that she is pining for the open road!

So will take it easy tomorrow, make sure I warm up on the flats, and resist the urge to go find every hill I know to climb and no hammering... I would like to get 20 miles in, at least, but will listen to my body.
My saddle has been raised a few more millimeters, and that will happen every week or two until it is where it needs to be. No more long rides though (>40 miles) until that happens though - there are reasons why my fitter has chosen this approach and, for me, they are good ones.
