f'n bloodwork

Nothing like getting the every other year labs back from the Doc (she doesn't see the point in doing them every year if my numbers keep looking like this, but she's gonna be testing Vit D 25-Hydroxy annually until I actually start taking a supplement regularly.

Lipid panels crushed it, so that's nice, but I think that's both genetics and diet.

My RBCs were low 4.1 on a reference range of 4.2-5.4 and well you know what that means as a cyclists, yup, i'm fucked.

HCT was unsurprisingly 38.2% yeah i have no idea how fucking awesome it would feel to have that number at 47 (the high end of reference range, low end is 37 btw).

So I did that whole ride to Boston and back and then the smackdown and all that wish super shitty numbers eh?

Impressively predictable.

Point to those numbers, hey, I'm slow, this is why. But I'm fast given how low they are and as much as I have to overcome. But that 'fast' is still slow.

Maybe I should get a referral to an aging clinic, does up on some T-gel, HGH, EPO...  that is probably a better way to get fast than getting a divorce and dating a 22 year old cyclist. Probably cheaper too.

I rode the long way in today.

It was good. Def going to try and do that tomorrow too. Need to get out the door early enough for that to happen, with luck....

Blood work is buggin me though...  but it makes sense...

Explains kind of my racing [aka lack of] palmares. No watts williams also has no where near enough RBCs for what he wants to do.

It sucks.

Also...  very funny that the labs have my sex as F....  seriously? Hey, that's kind of funny actually.

Need to get shit together...  too much sitting here contemplating numbers my body regulates that I have little control over.

it is what it is and i guess that explains lots of stuff...
