Training for Century - Feeling Very Sick on the Bike - PCOS? HELP?

[gabriellesca]

Thanks Flyby - I don't take Metformin. I tried it for a while but the side effects were harsh for me.

I think that making sure I have some protein while I ride - although not too much (from what I'm reading) - is going to be really key next weekend.

Today is our last training ride - a very easy and flat 15 mile ride to lunch and then 15 miles back. I'm looking forward to something flat for once!

Thanks everyone for your help! My fears about next weekend and my first (and maybe only) Century are mounting. But my ankle, knee, and foot got the okay from my ortho which is great!

I'm trying to get to Wichita Falls next weekend for my century, Hotter'n'Hell!! While I don't have any medical issues (diagnosed anyways) It will be my first and I am nervous. Since it is the same date you posted, I was just wondering if it is the same ride.

In any case, listen to your body!! It will tell you when you've had enough. Take a lot of breaks and be safe. Most important, HAVE FUN!!!!
