I was off by two days with my training, anticipating to get back on the bike by the 29th I was rolling again by the 31st. The surgery went well, I still have stitches in my mouth (they’re made of Gore-Tex) and those will be taken out on the 8th. Then no more surgery until June-ish which will be nice because that will be after collegiate nationals. I am ecstatic to get back on my bike again, today was super wet, windy and gross. I could not have been happier. I am definitely slow, my HR was all over the place until it finally settled down after nearly an hour. I kept my cadence high and just cruised along in the rain for an hour and forty-five minutes. The whole time I was riding my face was throbbing, not hurting but it was that “tingly” feeling after you get bumped in the nose, right underneath my nose and where my front teeth should be. I could feel the blood pumping through this new area, it took some getting used to. I can’t begin to explain what a high I am on right now after riding my bike. I live for this, and each day I get closer to racing the more excited I get. I sure hope this season is gong to yield good results. If I stick to my training plan and take care of myself, I am confident that I will reach my goals with the potential to surpass them. The internet we usually steal at my apartment is not up so from the café; until next time. Cheers
