I got professionally fit a couple months ago and saw some immediate improvements in performance and comfort, but at the same time started to develop some slight discomfort on the outside of my left knee and up through my hip when riding in the aero position. Over time the slight discomfort has developed into a definate pain and prohibits me from riding aero for any length of time. I am thinking it is an ITB problem since it is the outside of the knee and up through the hip. In the meantime I've had a bit of a falling out with the person who fit me, and I am racing this weekend. I'd like to make some adjustments myself to my position to try and find something where I can ride without pain, but am not sure where to start. Should I be looking toward my cleat, my saddle height, saddle position fore/aft, aerobars? Any advice or thoughts would be a great help. I know that I really need to go and see someone but I am leaving tomorrow for my race, so I don't really have time. I'm going to have to get through this one and go to a new fitter when I get back. Thanks for your help.
