Hoping this gets better by Monday, but I don't think it's going to relent in time for me to race Saturday or Sunday. That blows.
Light eating and some long miles, hopefully I'll burn off some fat this weekend. The pain is still there while cycling, but the endorphins make it bearable. After I stop, forget about it.
At least with dental extraction and the resulting pain will only last maybe a 2 weeks at most, try hemorrhoids next time!! I've been off the bike for a year due to the ongoing drama involved with that crap and the doctor told me to stay off the bike. I got cleared for riding again late last month and rode the bike 3 times and the butt feels great but my legs don't.
I wouldn't wish hemorrhoids on anyone, not even you! Seriously though, I hope you get feeling better quick.
