ok, here was my weekend. rode hard on sunday, afterwards, my legs felt like bricks, drank water all day, ate good etc. rode easy 45 min. yesterday, ate before i left ( i eat religiously alllll the time). ate two Luna bars when i got back, took the laudry up to the laudromat, and long story short, paramedics had to come and collect me because i got dizzy, sweating through my feet, hot, etc. they checked my blood sugar, and it didn't even register on the machine!!! how can this be when i eat like a pig before i ride and after? i spent 4 hours in the emergency room as a human pin cushion. had another episode this morning. yes i am going to the doctor tomorrow.
they told me i need to eat more ( how is that possible?), and more frequent. i also get to put a little fat into my diet. i don't eat a lot of fat.
i have been drinking gatorade and water like crazy, i am now just starting to feel normal.

doctor at the ER told me to drink, drink, drink, eat more frequently, and cut back activity a little.

the fluid they put in through my I.V. made me feel a heap better.

ok, goddesses, please don't scold me, i just need some positive reinforcement, so i will learn from this and stop living my life at full tilt all the time.
hey Irulan:::: i think it's great that you stop to notice nature on the mt. bike. i am going to take your advice and slow down the spin just a bit.

it was extremely scary........
