I a rode around 2500km this year so its no like I am just starting out either.
Take look and let me know what you think. Should I go to a doc? He already thinks I am hypochondriac so I am don't want go unless I absolutely have to
Any free medical advice you get over the internet will be worth every penny.....
I were in your shoes, I would not see a doc since there's a lack of evidence that anything is wrong. The first thing I thought when I saw your numbers are that you are simply out of shape. Be aware that what constitutes "out of shape" here is different than in the regular world -- I'd apply that description to 90% of riders on any recreational century even though they can obviously ride 100 miles.
How long have you been riding? 2500km is decent, but it's really not that much. Unless you do a lot of other activity that you haven't described here, it sounds like you're normal.
