New finding

stats of the week: run 16 km, zwift cycled 206 km, tm walked 10 km

What I regarded as a minor tendon problem seems to be more serious. The x-ray shows a hip deformation (called cam impingement) that is not really suitable for intensive cycling. This finding may explain the pain I have developed after I increased indoor cycling over the recent weeks. Cycling indoor is much more intensive than outside because the hip is rotating all the time without a second of rest.

The conclusion has to be to stop cycling completely for a while until the pain decreases. I hope I will be able to jog frequently at a limited pace. I am lucky that this year's London Marathon has been postponed to autumn.

Received my Comrades medal with a delay of half a year what I don't mind. I am just happy to have got it, a quite impressive one earned by running just 10 km. It came with a very nice shirt, too. If the next Comrades will be run virtually again, probably it will, no doubt I will take part again.

I developed a new passion for riding my bike at home. Other people may have a home office, I - as a retired person - have a home gym. I still would prefer to run more often but the mysterious tendon problem is still restricting me.

Streak aborted

stats of the week: run 20 km, Zwift cycled 153 km, tm walked 14 km

Finished the virtual Honolulu Start to Park 10K in 53:11 min what is quite sufficient regarding my limited mileage during the recent 3 months. However, I could not be really happy with it coz I developed a tendon problem that forces me to stop the streak after 56 continuous days of sports activity. Not the best start into covid year 2.
