I just want everyone know that I wasn't mad tonight.
I found out today, that I have a pretty serious medical condition, not life threatening at all, but very influential on my overall fitness and performance on the bike.
I have been struggling with it for the last month (and probably for much much longer without knowing)and it at this point, I don't know, if I will be able to keep riding/competing like this.
Sorry for being so short when I left, it's been a roller-coaster for me and it is hard to watch my body "fail" to perform the way, I want it to. I have to figure out what I will be able to do and what not...
Riding in the heat we've been stuck with for 3-4 weeks is very hard on the body. It's easy to get discouraged when we expect more than what our body's and mind can give.
Goals are good but don't beat yourself up if you fall short. And if this medical thing slows you down, add that to the calculation and be happy you can still ride a bike and enjoy nature on your own power.
When we compare ourselves to other racers, it's easy to get discouraged. Compared to non racers and casual riders, we have lots of power and endurance.
Hope the med thing can be brought under control, velocc, and enjoy the ride.
Thanks Dale:)
