cycling 1:29:32 [3] 20.6 mi (13.8 mph) +560m
shoes: Specialized Gerolsteiner
Pace line with Ant, Cat, Tori and Helen. Lovely evening, sunny :-)
Unfortunately I think pollen might be starting to appear, breathing went out of control on first climb and just couldn't get it back no matter how slow I pedalled.
Progressively worse with each climb, raw airways. Almost turned around but stupidly carried on hoping to warm up into it. Took inhaler half way and this coupled with some descending recovery made things a little better. Chest really sore and tight by the end - yet peak flow still only dropped to 89% when I got home. Should start carrying the meter with me to take it mid disaster before taking salbutamol. Can't wait to get this sorted, uncontrolled breathing rumbling on for over a year now. Appointment with specialist 10th April (was suggested I needed to see a specialist in Sheffield 8months ago - 4 weeks in Kendal and I'm referred - come on UHS).
