The low pulse caught the examiner's eye most of all. She asked how? I replied a "2017 Roubaix." After her blank stare I explained the 4,000 miles a year on the bike may help. Really? Well, yes.
Keep riding!
Wishing you an early
for September, same month as wife only she'll be same as me just 3 weeks ago today >> 70.
for a GREAT exam result with a KUDOS for your riding the 2017 Roubaix, mine is a 2018 Roubaix Expert that I rode for my
birthday ride of 141 miles.
Please ignore the following if you feel invaded but --- Not meaning to sound like a nagging older brother, just wondering was a PSA test done if you had a blood workup? March 2015 a week before my IM70.3FL I had a prostate biopsy due to high PSA and an abnormal DRE. Not one indication that anything was wrong yet the biopsy started me on my PCa (Prostate Cancer) detour in life. Unlike the other 95 out of 100 men with positive cancer results mine was the GRAND-DADDY GLEASON 5+5 (GL10) entering me in the
5% Club that has the greatest incidence of metastasizing and causing death. BTW, at my pre-OP for first surgery when hooked up for the required ECG my heart rate was 32bpm. I had to move around to get it raised for an adequate pulse.
Keep on riding, it does a body good
