Well, my year of shorter tri training started well with a 5 mile run Thursday (albeit I was struggling a bit at 10.30MM which is unusual). Friday was a 45 min spin bike session at the gym followed by a half hour of core work.
Then, Saturday eve, the wheels fell off in style. Went into AF around teatime. Usually intermittent or it clears by itself after a few mins, by 10pm, it hadn't, I was in trouble and at midnight went into A&E at wifes insistence. Apparently that was the right call as (my wife tells me), I got upgraded from assessment to minor, to major, to next to the crash cart and resus. They left it going a while as my fitness meant it was used to going at that speed for long periods but in the end decided enough was enough, stuck some beta blockers in the line, then stuck some more in, then stuck some anti arrhythmias in and finally it stabilised about 3.30am.
Now on beta blockers pending rapid access cardio referral, no exercise for a week and told to do as I am told this time
.
On the plus side, it showed to the wife that I just got unlucky when I flamed out at Outlaw. Wrong place at the wrong time. And at least they were able to see it this time when it didn't right itself.
So, what now? Lord H has already asked if he can have my new brilliant XC trainers. Bastard.
And I am going to miss the Farnham tri swim gala on Friday
.
Fingers crossed for OK to do the G3 XC on the 19th (is there a hope icon)
Finally, is there a "Fecked Off" icon?
