Solo ride; all systems go ahead of Dr visit tomorrow![]() Old LaHonda was just under 23 minutes, with the most-important metric being that I stayed over the 1000 VAM target (meaning a climb rate of 1000 meters/hour). Pretty much the same VAM on Haskins, followed by pretty much the same VAM yet again on Stage Road. I can live with that! Of course, by the time I got to Tunitas, I was beginning to feel it and was happy to finish in 49 minutes. No, that's really not true; I was hoping for 47-something, but there's only so much in the tank and doing it solo, no wheel to draft on the lower flanks, means you're putting in a bit more work earlier. Tomorrow's going to be an interesting day; first follow-up visit with the Hematologist/Oncologist following my late-May diagnosis. I'm hoping she'll be OK with the current results (blood test lab data, not cycling!) and not add a new med that is known to cause heart issues. My condition is something that wouldn't be taken seriously at all if I were under 60, but since I'm on the wrong side of that arbitrary number, they treat me as if I'm going to have a heart attack or stroke if my platelets are high. We'll see how it goes. --MikeJ |
