After a couple of ultra sounds on my heart I was relieved to find out that my heart is very healthy. My tests started with a resting ultrasound of my heart, the woman performing my ultrasound remembered me from when she performed the ultrasound on my chest to find the blood clot, we joked that similar results today would not be a good thing. After the ultrasound I was brought to a room with a treadmill where my EKG would be performed. After explaining the test I was attached to the machines and cleared to start the test. After twelve minutes of easy walking, the test went to a speed of 3.5mph and a 14% grade, at this point my heart rate finally got out of the 120s and went to 140 before the test went to 4mph and a 16 % grade. As my heart rate increased to 160 I begin breathing a little heavier and a small PVC showed up as my heart rate increases. The doctor ordered a stop to the test a few minutes later and I was to head right over to the table where another ultrasound would be performed. My heart rate quickly fell back to its normal range and the ultrasound showed no problems. After a nice chat with the doctor we discussed what could be the problem and decided that the doctor would look over the blood test and look for any abnormalitys.

Part of me feels better that I was cleared to get back to cycling but a part of me wants to know why I've been so tired the past month. Only time will tell what is going on, until then it is back to the bike and back to crazy workouts. I have missed it and can't wait to pedal all over southern Rhode Island!!!
