My first 26 mile week, but at what cost?

Sadly no commuting at all. The most BEAUTIFUL November week I might ever see, and yet no commute. In order to swim at 5 or 6 pm, I can't bike to work and get everywhere on time.

So note also the 3300 yard swimming! 3 days swimming - Tues, Weds, Thurs. I cancelled my Sunday swim at WH because LA is here. :)

This added up to I think 8-9 hours of training. I feel great, mildly but druggedly tired, I love the getting up early and the structure again. But.

But.

I've been avoiding this, as if typing it will make it more or less real. I have something going on with my right leg. It's a moving pain, here and there then here again, so I've been observing. Here's the summary.

I can feel a high hamstring pull/tight/pain, mild and mostly when I'm stretching. This is the "butt crease" pain I've mentioned here recently.

I can occasionally feel sit bone pain, bilateral, I really think that's a hold-over from the bad bike seats, a problem that's fixed.

When I do heel kicks, I can feel my right hamstring is snappish and tight. 

But here's the really pains - my right knee. For the past weeks, it's had an odd feeling like my leg is longer than the left, and/or that it's overextending, and/or that it's not "solid" in terms of the soft connective tissues. The pain and discomfort are on the sides of the knees, towards the back, maybe where the hamstrings connect? I could look that up. 

This went on for a while, then the front of my knee started aching, almost like a stress fracture type of pain but dull. OK so I have knee anatomy pulled up. The hamstrings do connect to under the knee at the fibia. This might be why I feel that discomfort in the calf - because now the calf muscles and down into the achilles starts to get pained. 

Also here, it's not the knee itself that hurts, but everything around it. So it seems. Like the back of my knee, where the tibia is at the front of the knee, down into the calf at the....gotta figure that one out. 

So let's get more specific on this -- to describe it and plan it. This is stressing me out. And there's this huge rain cloud rolling in and I have a long walk to the truck in Fo Pa! On the walk I can think about what hurts. Ugh.
