A big finish and some sad news

This weekend I participated in the Tri Benbrook Sprint Triathlon. I had a great time. I thought I had done really well until I just looked at my previous sprint times. Here is the breakdown:

I can say this about yesterday...it was crazy windy!! The temp was a balmy 75 degrees or so but the wind was gusting around 25-30miles an hour. I was trying to keep my heart rate in my heart rate zone since I have a big race planned for May 24th. I know that slowed me down quite a lot. I hope to do better next month. I did have a good time though.

Now for the sad news, I will not ever sweat on my right side again. That is quite tragic because that means that I will never be comfortable in the heat again. I guess I somewhat expected that, but I had hope that it would get better as all of my other symptoms did. I will just have to figure out some other sport to participate in during the summer months until we are able to move somewhere cooler. Maybe Canada?

Blog on friends!!

Why won't you be able to sweat again? Did the mycoplasm do permanent damage?

I never got an email from you about the site.
