He loves you. He's worried about you. Give him some time to see that your health issues are under control. He doesn't want to lose you and he doesn't want you to be sick.

It drives me nuts sometimes how Thom "hovers" when we're mountain biking. But I know my accidents this summer freaked him out. He'll get over it eventually and so will your husband.

Maybe compromise and go for an Olympic distance next.
