I was reading back through my earlier post and saw that I failed to include that yes, she gave me antibiotics for the just-in-case case. So now I get to deal with a lovely yeast infection. (I've only been on antibiotics a handful of times in my life as I'm highly allergic to anything ending in "cillin", and every time they've made me as sick or sicker than condition for which I am taking them. But I'm on the acidophilus to hopefully keep the yeasties under control!)

As far as prevention, she said I may be better off not shaving and instead just trimming. But I already decided I wasn't going to shave as much as I did when I got this one anyhow. It may be conincidental, but this happened after my first full on shave. So perhaps shaving is not for me!

And as far as riding the century, she said that if I can do it, then do it. It's not going to make it any worse. I find that if I'm not on the drops I don't get much pressure on it at all...it's when I'm in the drops and my weight is a little farther forward that I get the zing. So it seems that the solution is to not ride in the drops so much. I think I can do that! I'm going to do a very long ride on Monday so we'll see how that goes.
