November 17 Weekend Rides

[Giulianna23]

Went Mountain biking yesterday with other 2 gals I just met...but only did about 4 miles because I started feeling sick and weak again not as bad as last weekend but still bad enough to quit the ride ...sucks . After leaving the Trails went to get some multivitamins and some Iron pills. I strongly believe my hemoglobin counts are low. I have a iron deficiency since I was a child and used to take Folic Acid and a few other vitamins on a daily basis to suplement the deficit. Well....took them this morning, ate my brunch at 11:00 and went out around 12:30 to do a 26 road miles ride I had planned for today. The weather was very nice and sunny so I decided to explore a bit and ended up doing 45 great miles averaging 14.5 mph and didn't get sick at all. At times on the flats I went up to 19mph and my maximum speed was 25. I wasn't pushing myself just going at my comfort pace which is between 13 and 15mph. At some climbs I felt a bit exhausted as normal but not sick nor weak like yesterday and the last few rides I have done. Nw I am watching the football games with my oldest son.
