Hi all, 8 years post surgery this friday so I am signing on for the Ride for Karen here in Toronto, it is a metric century which means 100 km's. The ride raises funds for kids with cancer so it is a very good cause. The week after that I am riding another 100 km which includes 3200 feet of climbing. I had a goal prior to my surgery to ride in a mountain bike race, this year I rode a cyclo cross race, mountain bike race and a road race. I have a lot of training to do to improve and a lot to learn about racing but it is wild good fun. I am 52 and plan on improving my fitness for next season. 2 issues though, I get light headed from time to time and I do not have low blood pressure my doc labeled this condition as trivial but I am keeping an eye on things. My GP also told me that my "output" was low last year at 45% but increased to 55% this year does anyone know about this? the docs seemed unconcerned. I feel like they do not always tell me everything maybe so I won't fret about stuff. My GP tells me it is very important that I stay as active as possible. My cardiologist lists my heart health as excellent but cautions I may not always stay that way? Next time I see him I am going to ask a few more questions. He lengthened my yearly echo to 18 months so I guess he is not too concerned.
best wishes to all, I hope you do not mind the ramble too much.
