I have done several stupid things but about to maybe do the worst. Or maybe not.
My knee has been bothering me the last couple of weeks so have stop training and started an early tapering. Earlier this week I carried an air conditioner down some stairs and felt a really sharp pain in my knee. Now I can not go up or down stairs without considerble pain. Don't notice it too much walking.
Decided to do IMFL anyway. I had so much time and money invested I could not bring myself to skip it.
Reasoning. Look how banged up NFL players are week to week and they still play. Plus it is the end of the season and this is the last race this year. I only need to be healthy by spring for Galveston.
I honestly believe that when I get on the bike I will feel great and will somehow gut out the run with a lot of walking.
Or it will not bother me at all.
So either it will be a stupid decision to go or if I am fine a great decision.
