HRM not working, so I was unable to join this 28 km Zwift race that I was kind of excited about. Why? There were only two other entrants... Unless there is a huge fitness disparity, these can be kind of fun and tactical.
Not sure what to do now, wanted some time squeezing my legs. Might just find the A bot ad cruise for a half hour, maybe attack the group a couple times if I'm not in any difficulty.

In the summary it says we "discussed" the risks of several different side effects. In reality, she asked me if I had a heart condition/seen a cardiologist or been diagnosed with a GI condition. That was pretty much it.
I imagine the risks are quite low, but she really glossed over that part, contrary to what the care summary suggests.

The ad with the dancing woman who gets off the bus at the start ATF out of me. Have you ever noticed that male hairdresser who checks her over between shoots is, uh, "flamboyant"? How cliche.

Odds are he is well entrenched in the doctor's notes and on the same lists as Elaine.

Pre-ride weight a bit high this morning, 147 lbs. I have a couple easy days coming up so I will probably watch the snacking a bit and focus on quality nutrition, portion size etc. Realistically though I'm not super worried about it - this is normal for me.
Pre-surgery, I would normally live in 145 - 147. After the hernia op (early Jan.) I lost some muscle and got used to seeing 143 - 145 lbs, which was nice I guess, but that's not normal or healthy for me. I was weak.

My first reaction was that it looks phallic, especially with that scarf....

Difficult patients are defined as those who elicit strong negative emotions from their physicians. If not acknowledged and managed correctly, these feelings can lead to diagnostic errors, unpleasant confrontations, and troublesome complaints or legal claims.

Better idea of how I saw it. I don't care about the broadcast just the video. You can see tanks flying out of the fireball

Yeah, I've never ridden a retrodirect myself, could be a good workout, weirdly working out different muscle groups by pedaling backwards, kinda like doing a lot of resistance braking on the ol' fixie but more of it potentially.

Back at work after a long weekend visiting our son in Eugene, OR. Yesterday, we drove to the coast, had lunch in Florence, and then drove south to explore the Oregon dunes, which is a new area for us. As always, the Oregon coast never disappoints with its beauty.
