One Hundred Three
Recovery
July 9 - STP
July 10 - Rode a few easy miles. Led Go Girl 5K on bike. Tired, but no major aches or pains.
July 12 - Rode a few (mostly) easy miles to and from BBQ at Allison's place. Rode moderately hard for a couple miles to catch the MAX on the way home.
July 13 - Right leg started hurting like a SOAB. Started taking 400-600 mg Ibuprofen every 5-6 hours.
July 15 - Made appointment to see Dr. Anna White about the leg pain. Still taking drugs like clockwork.
July 16 - Rode several miles with Joe Pope to and from Alpenrose velodrome to watch track races. Very cool!
July 17 - Pain in right leg is gone, but now the left leg is killing me. Don't understand it. Maybe I pedaled too hard with left leg yesterday.
July 18 - Dr. White doesn't think the problem is bone. Suspects soft tissue (muscle and/or tendon, etc.). Prescribed 500 mg Nuproxen (sp?), i.e. Advil, 2x/day; recommended acupuncture. Stopped by acupuncture/herbal medicine shop and received first treatment. About a dozen pins in each leg hooked up to a machine delivering electric pulses.
July 19 - Second acupuncture treatment.
July 20 - Took last pain killer in the morning.
July 21 - First day without any pain medicine.
July 22 - Third (and last?) acupuncture treatment. I feel like I should start riding again soon.
