No cycling until results of Blood Test are back

[Angelfishsolo]

Bugger. I went to the Doctor to ask advice about the tiredness and lethargy I have been feeling since the 50Km MTB Marathon and I have to have a blood test and lay of cycling until the results are back. Bloods get taken next Tuesday and then a wait until I get results. Why couldn't this happen when the weather is lousy??

I have just treated myself to a new bike stem so I can fettle with the Lady until I can ride her again

Good luck with the results and hope you get back riding soon.

Not allergic are you. It is allergy season and fatigue can be a big part of that?

Agreed. Simple pollen allergy can make you feel lethargic and listless, even without the obvious eye and nose symptoms.

I rode 200 miles over four days, which is not a lot, but the following day I had a blood test and when it came back I was very anaemic and they wanted me to go to hospital, I didn't go, but I read in the internet this can happen after strenuous exercise over a long period, they put me on iron tablets and a few months later I was OK
good luck with the results

I have no allergies (as far as I know). Today was so pleasant out and tomorrow looks set to be as good that I may well break Dr's orders and go out for a ride. I will keep it local to be on the safe side.

Thanks for all the support peeps

Okay, I have a new bike which I began riding on Sunday - did 50 miles, then 54 on Tuesday and another 30 Wednesday morning. I know this is a fair amount but on the Sunday and Tuesday I felt unusually tired as a result of my riding. I'm not doing more miles than I did with the old bike either.

I thought that maybe the new set-up was causing problems - it's taking some time to get used to, but now you've got me thinking about allergies. The weather I think, despite being hot, has also been very humid - perhaps this could also be a contributory factor?

You must be allergic to the new bike

Hope your results come back quick & you're back in the saddle soon xx
