Atrial Fribulation, Final Chapter ?

[censored] Mikey, u could have come up with a better title. I saw Final
Chapter and feared the worst. Look forward to seeing you on a BR again,
although if you were on the beta blockers I might have seen more than
just the sight of you whooshing past. 😉

hmmmm hindsight, is a wonderful thing, good point!!! When I typed it I thought it was a good title 🙂

Yeah, looking forward to doing another BR again soon, going to get my brother along as well. Probably be out that way in a couple of weeks I reckon.

I ran into Dave Rama at the Oakleigh stink on Sunday morning, you want
to do some x-training on ice? 🙂

Last Thursday I visited my cardiologist and after the standard tests, shaved my chest to attach the heart measuring device thingys, blood pressure, heart rate, few questions, I got the nod.

"Well then, I think its time to take you off the beta blockers."

man, I was so relieved, I guess the effect physically will show up soon, I did a lot of riding over the weekend, all pretty easy with some pretty small higher intensity bits, apparently there is only a 24 hour effect of the beta blocking medication, he said there is no long term effect of the drug.

And I must admit, when I went to push myself especially on the sunday, even though it was hard and difficult I felt that burn in my legs, which it has been SOOOO long since I felt, you that feeling, when you have pushed yourself and then you slowly turn your legs over and you have that great feeling of the blood slowing pumping around the muscles, it almost feels like someone is massaging your muscles as you slowly ride.

Well its been a long time since I felt that and it felt great 🙂

I have noticed other things as well, my appetite is coming back to what it used to be like, I get hungry a lot more often, instead of occasionally when I was on the medication.

So now I get riding and running and eventually swimming again (sorry to mention the last 2) without anything medical limiting me.

Going to make sure I get a lot of rest, if I don't get enough rest, then I will skip a session, going to watch what I eat a little bit more and get more rest.

🙂

Yay

nuh uh! last time I made a comeback to Hockey, because I missed it, I got a fractured shoulder thanks to "A TEAMMATE!!" I was gonna score as well, until he fell on top me when he got hit.

Triathlons and Hockey of any form dont mix, too many injuries 🙂

But after my triathlon goals are accomplished I fully intend to skate around, laying the smack down, when appropriate!

Hopefully by the time I play agian the rink in the new Southbank development will be done 🙂

same with road racing, that's why I got out of hockey too ... but
x-training
on ice is ok.

Title also had me going for a sec!
Well done and thanks for keeping us informed.
Sometimes an hour of sleep can be more benefit than an hour of riding. Working out which one to do when is the tricky part.
Are you "pill free" now, 100mg asprin a day, or wot?

Cheers
