Half day hiking with Tobias. Felt really tired and sleepy the whole time- I think I notice lack of iron most at altitude, and Tobias isn't great with altitude so we went at a nice gemütlich pace. Beautiful apls! (at about 2000m)
no knee feelings :)

Short morning run before work, mainly because I wanted to have an idea of how my knee felt before going to the doctor with the MRI.
I was vaguely aware of a knee sensation in the first few mins but no pain or sharpness, then felt normal running for the rest though a little tentative at first. Up and down hill or terrain feels more confident than flat on the street, which is good!
Ran some uphills harder and did some stair drills for agility, all felt ok.

Note
Got the report from my MRI from the doc, who confirmed the articular cartilage between the top of the knee cap and the femur is damaged/softened.. apparently chondromalacia (grade 3), patellofemoral pain syndrome, osteoarthritis or something like that.
Doc gave me some "cartilage fish" tablets.. which are supposed to help cartilage inflimation/regeneration.
Hopefully will go to sport med centre next week to get more specific advice/plan.
Strength (core, hip) important to take strss off the knees. I will continue running training, supplemented by pool running and cycling, but stop if I feel the pain. And try to take care of every other detail to ensure I am ready for WOC!

Long ride home from work, up throught the hills. Rode hard up the hills, felt like hard work for the legs but didn't get HR up much. Lovely evening and views, and still light at 9.30 pm!

commute to work, back home, to MRI appointment
Note
MRI scan. Showed some damage to cartilage at the top of my knee between knee cap and Femur (like small fissure or something). Not sure how severe it is, taking the MRI to the doctor on friday.
Impressed by the speed of the swiss meds, though it is emptying out my bank account.

Doctor visit
Xray of the knee which showed nothing as I expected and arranged MRI for tomorrow.
Also surprised to find out that my iron (Ferratin 8) is back down as low as before the Infusion only 2 months ago! Can't have infusions every 2 months, so have some tables which should be a steadier option. I am considering having one more infusion so I will have enough iron in me at WOC as the tablets take a while to work.
