–Took a 7.5-mile ride around the ‘hood. As usual, felt decent going out, less decent coming back. Hve been feeling a little woozy all day.
–Difficulty in going up slight grades prompted me to pull the trigger on another set of Origin8 cranks–75mm, compared to the current 55mm. The coming 15-tooth rear cog will help (though only slightly, according to a spreadsheet I set up); I’m really curious to see what 10mm more leverage will do.
–I noticed (yesterday) a suture peeking out from the pacemaker scar. Today I pulled it out a bit (it was a loop), cut it, then pulled out the two strands. They were maybe 4-5mm in length, and took some effort to pull out. I don’t know why they didn’t dissolve like (apparently) the rest. Hoping this thing heals totally and cleanly now.
–Took a shower and shave.
