Bad news (century training)

[indysteel]

Oh man. Hope everything goes well with your eye.

... for me it's easy, when things go wrong, to cling over-tightly to plans I'd made before. The century isn't the most important thing in your life right now. Obviously you want everything to be back the way it was, but first things first. Let your eye heal. Do what your doctors say that you can to maintain your fitness. Re-assess when you're allowed back on the bike.

+1. If you can safely get back on the bike in a few weeks' time, then try for the metric. There will be other centuries. Having done centuries with not-quite-adequate training and others with more than enough, it's far more fun and motivating to do them when you're adequately trained. Save your goal for next year when your eye is healed.

And I sincerely hope your eye does heal. Keep us posted.
