At the pool again today, I tried a short interval workout. 50s. Found that my bicep heart monitor does not work in the pool swim setting, and when it's activated using another mode, like track or gym cardio, it doesn't consistently connect. So I use the watch, inaccurate HR but it measures distance and strokes quite well. I'm not going to put absolute data for this workout but I did 6x50yd w/ 1min rest in 40-48 sec. Pretty slow considering DIII college swimmers cover this distance in 21-22 sec, with a turn, but they also start from a starting platform.
Tomorrow is my consult with Dr. S. I'm really quite nervous about it. I'm happy to see the fires in LA have spared his office and hospital, Cedars-Sinai. Still no significant pain in the knee. Looking back, I think I was biking up the mountain just days, maybe even the next day, after the Oct. '18 meniscus tear. I think pain is not an adequate indicator of the severity of knee injury. Meniscus injuries seem to have a great variability in treatment, but it seems to me, to achieve a higher level of athletic function, requires a higher level of treatment expertise.
