The three physios

I must have overdone it during the first three days because I started to feel pain in my right knee. I did on average about 85 km with heavily loaded bike and my saddle was probably too low. I decided to stay at the lake for couple of days and give it some rest. I started to ice and compress it and the next day it was much better. I went for a short walk around the lake and up to the summit of Mt John and it felt alright. But then on the way from the summit it got worse again. It was actually quite painful and I couldn’t walk and was getting a bit worried that it could be the end of my trip. Luckily, as I was sitting in the kitchen at the campground I met three guys, first an English girl and moments later a couple from Melbourne on their honeymoon. When they saw me icing the knee they came and started to ask suspiciously qualified questions about what had happened. Incredibly it turned out they were all physios!!! They checked the knee and said it didn’t seem serious, just to keep doing what I already started and to buy anti-inflammatory gel and do a lot of stretching. I started to do what they said and it has improved since then. The muscles are still a bit stiff and it’s little sore in the evening but doesn’t usually bother me during the day and it’s getting better every day.
