Sunday 50 miler to New Braunfels by cheska732 at Garmin Connect - Details

Sunday 50 miler to New Braunfels by cheska732 at Garmin Connect - Details here is my first 50 miler in over 25 years.. love the stats and i felt awesome. tired but that's to be expected.

where the heck have i been... why out riding of course!

So my recovery went splendidly if that is a word. I love my results. I am probably the only women in history that didn't want to hear-"they will be fuller and more round!" I was truly loving the flat look.  After 6 weeks of wearing a sports bra i finally got the okay to go get the real bra's. I called my husband and told him i was going to go to Victoria Secret and by bras that weekend. He was like go for it. I my head all i can think about was color and patterns.  The thought did cross my mind what if the plan went down and i didn't have my parachute bra? But as friday rolled around and the anticipation started to build i called my husband and said. hey let me take you to dinner i wanna go to Nordstroms for bra's. I figured i'd go, since i saw this special once on oprah about the way they fit their customers. So in  went.. and met Anna the clerk.  Anna sized me up. I was D cup, but so small in my mind and if i went up a size it was  a c cup. Hell i can live with that... heck it's like a B cup  to me.  I found so many bra's i couldn't stop myself and i didn't  $618.45 i walked out with 10 bra's and matching undies Life was really good. colors, patterns  you name it. Awesome!!


Now what have i been doing? Mile stone's on the bike that's what. My average now is 15.5 mph. up from the 11 i think when i started. I am also doing an average of 50 miles a week mostly more. Last week i clocked 100 miles in for the week.  Bought a top with a built in bra and it fits... whoohooo

Thinking about another sprint tri in october.. i have to get in the water. what to do what to do...

POST Op Weekend

I went back for my follow up and I am allowed to wear my favorite bra i wore when my chest was larger. It was a bra i wore only in the house, but it was very comfortable.  My nipple  very sensitive on the right. The left is numb. I don't know if that is going  to come back in the scheme of things the other side is making up for it as it's super sensitive. :0

We ended up at the bike shop and ran into the CNRA who did my case. I was going stir crazy already. I wanted to do something but i was told i had to wait..

Post op Day 1

I already fell like a million bucks. They look flat, but my doc stated that there were going to be more rounding and the transition can take months or even a year. I feel like a ton has been lifted off my chest.  1200grams on the left and 1100 grams on the right.  I stayed over night, was in surgery for about 5 hours. Meds are really good.

Good Bye Girls...

Today i am going in for my surgery. I am nervous but i have had enough of my large breast. There is absolutely nothing attractive about them. I hate that it's the first thing anyone sees when they meet me for the first time.  The pain i have in my neck and shoulders is ridiculous. I want to stand up straight.  My bras are ugly not to mention tortuous. The itching under my breast wakes me up out of sleep the majority of nights. 
So, my husband might be sad, but understands my limitations. I am so excited.

An like that with blink of an eye and sweat dripping down my body it's over and you know what I'd do it again in a heart beat.   My time improved by 10 minutes.. Huge success for me.

The swim was pretty rough this year. I actually added some time to my strokes. I ended up getting interrupted by breast stroke rs that keep kicking me, my goggles fogged up and i was just tired.  I was looking at the boyees thinking okay almost there, almost there and it was further then i thought. I came out of the water feeling tired already. I don't remember the  hill being so long or steep from last year. But it was.

T1- okay not too bad, my feet were filthy and my legs felt very heavy, but on the bike i went. It was hot out. I was dripping with sweat. Thank GOD it was not sunny and there was an over cast otherwise i would have been screwed.  My HR at times went up to 170's- that's high for me.  I got stuck on the big hill and had to walk up it at one point, but that was it.  I okay. I thought the women were a bit more rude this year, show offs.

I came back from the bike and got to the rack and i went into far on my rack line. i looked down and there was the same color towel and same shoes as me on the ground. I know i was depriving my brain of O2- but i was like how did i do that. then i realized i was at the wrong set up..T2 went okay. i  got my shoes on, my feet were filthy, off on the run.

I only walked one area. my time was under 15 minutes. I was wheezy at a point and i thought i was gonna vomit about two times. Not joking.  Nikki came and helped me up the last hill, i thought i was gonna die. I did it and the kids crossed the finish line with me.  I did it and I can't wait to do it again.

OBTW- my really age is 38- race age 39 :)
