Relatively inconclusive news from the doctor - the abdominal pain was most likely some sort of transient nerve issue. The good news is, no further tests at this point, and I’ve been pain-free running/cycling well this week.
At Tuesday night’s time trial, I set a new PR for myself, beating my best time from last year by 31 seconds. My turnaround for the time trial needs work (which is a pretty normal limiter for beginning time trialists), so I’ll be devoting a lot of my handling drills to practicing that for the time being.
I finalized my race calendar for this year, and am currently planning on the following:
- 07/11/09 Tour de Champaign Downtown Criterium
- 09/05/09 Ultramidwest 6 Hour Time Trial
- 10/11/09 Chicago Marathon
- 10/31/09 Lakefront 50/50 (50 mile division)
- 02/13/10 (est) St. Louis Indoor Rowing Championships
- 04/10/10 Mad City 100k
