With my knee hurting I decided to take the day off to try and heal. There were no side effects of last nights ride. Pain was similar today. Regular walking causes no discomfort. Only when there is a inward twisting motion with the left foot does the pain seem to occur. After paying closer attention to what is happening the what I am feeling I do not think it is a muscle problem. Right now, it feels like a ligament strain. This really sucks. One option would be to dismount on the right but that is inviting a hurdle catastrophe. The best thing now would be to heal quickly.
News Item of the Day: The 10 day, 1070 mile (1724 km) professional stage race to be run through Lance Armstrong's home state of Texas will take place between September 8-17, 2005, the organisers confirmed. The $175,000 event, which in true Texas fashion will be the longest race in the U.S., will start with a stage from Colleyville to Graham, and travel across much of north and west Texas, including the cities of Abilene, Amarillo, Borger, Brownfield, Burkburnett, Canyon, Childress, Colleyville, Dalhart, Dumas, Lamesa, Levelland, Littlefield, Lubbock, McKinney, Muleshoe, Pampa, Perryton, Plainview, Post, Quanah, Slaton, Snyder, Vernon, and Wichita Falls. The final stage will be a circuit race in Dallas.
The United Texas Tour is sponsored by United Supermarkets and its main goal is to raise funds for cancer awareness. Proceeds will go toward the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The race will feature 15-20 teams, and the organisers have received official UCI sanctioning.
Viewpoint: I'm going to have to look at a map of this area of Texas. I believe West Texas is supposed to be hill country but I never think of Texas having big hills. At least the kind to support a big tour. I have driven through northern Texas (through Amarillo, etc) on the way to New Mexico. That was some god forsaken land. All I remember are large cattle farms with very else little in sight. It is not fair to judge a state from the interstate though.
