Excessive urination after riding
Hi all, the site is great and I am learning from all of you!
I have noticed that after I return from rides I often have a strange urination pattern, that involves feeling the need to urinate, but not having--well--enough to justify the feeling! It also involves frequent urination, maybe once an hour or more in the beginning.
The rides are usually 80-100 km, and about 4 hours. I definitely drink enough on rides--much more than my riding partners do. When I first come home, my urine is quite yellow, but after that it is a normal color despite the frequency.
This lasts for about 24 hours after a ride. Has anyone else experienced this? Another woman rider mentioned something to me about irritation of the urethra that causes this...any truth to this? It is a very weird feeling and I would like to know if it's normal.
Thanks!
