🎶 Back in the saddle again 🎶

Bike ride: 19.69 miles, 897’ elevation gain, 1:53 riding time. Stayed in my lower gears trying to recover my natural cadence (70-75 rpm).

My watch never connected to GSP before my run but total time running was 1:34 and some change so somewhere between 12 and 13 miles.

Chest and leg lift complete too

I’ve been sidelined again. Sunday morning went to an advanced heated power yoga class. No problem. That afternoon I had an event where I got light headed every time I stood up. My pulse was in the 40s and stuck in an irregular rhythm. The Ginger is a retired Catalan nurse and was able to help me break the rhythm without having to go to the hospital.
Not I’m not allowed to run or yoga, or even work out till I see the cardiologist Wednesday.
I have a condition known as athletes heart. My left ventricle is 20% larger than normal and my ejection fraction is 45 at rest. Normal would be 55-75 my resting pulse rate is typically 55. We’ve been keeping an eye on this since it was discovered in my 40s. It’s believed that I’ve had this since childhood when I was an all American swimmer.
The rhythm problem is new but not unexpected. My mother who is 83 and still works full time as an executive has this condition and has had several ablations over the years. She still works out 3-4 times a week. I’m sure I’m getting ready for my first ablation. Pretty confident I’m going to be fine. But the point is going to your Dr regularly should be part of your overall health plan.

If I’m dying I’ll let you know
