36.04 MILES WOWING IT & A HACK FEST

 So yeah this is me at the beginning of the ride.  I thought 5 taking a five day break from being sick with the flu would be enough time to recover.  I guess I was wrong.   I headed out with the WOW group and I felt fine, but when I got to Nicalog I was really coughing my brains out.   Made it to Anita Road and then got the stare from the other women.  So I put my tail between my legs and headed home.  Betsy decided to escort me home.  OMFG! No matter what way we road we were headed into the wind it was a pill.   And because I could not breath, it made it even harder.   My legs were not happy in fact so much that I had to take a break at Brave,  I felt exhausted.


Well 451.04 miles for February is better than no miles.   The beginning of 2019 is rather bumpy.

Went to prompt care and guess what the nurse & Dr were both cyclist.   I wish all my visits were like this one today.    They were both very nice, very informative and neither of them glared at me.    Most of the time when I enter prompt care it starts off with a sneer and glare, then they bring up well you need to lose weight and be more active.  When I open my mouth and say I cycle with a cycling group all I get it raised eyebrows of disbelief.   Like right lady you cycle with the way you look.       
There was this one time I went in for a leg problem and omg the Dr and nurse were so rude.  It's was like I was so fat and out of shape that they did not want to touch me.   Mind you this is when I was doing the long rides.    I could see her mind working, she was thinking, Oh god another fat chick who sits on the sofa and eats Cheetos and watches the Soaps.      So she had me lay back and do some leg movements.    The look on her face when she realized how flexible I was, was so funny.  She could not believe what I could do.  Like wait what, she this big, and I can do this with her legs and she not in pain.    I really think that she thought that she would grab my leg pull it to the side and I would be like OMG stop it hurts.    Nope.   After that her whole demeanor changed and she was really helpful.

The majority of the Dr I see are not friendly, in fact there down right rude and uninformative.    Oh well.

So what the verdict?   Take it easy.  He suggested staying off the bike for about two weeks to recover from the coughy wheezy.   Lovely.

Getting ready to roll.

So yeah.  36.04 miles in but uuuhhhhgggg!
