Something is wrong yet nothing is wrong...

 The problem? I have been on this journey for a while now, I started this about 7 months ago and I am in fairly good shape as well as I feel a bit better about myself in general. I can do things I thought were for people that exercised every day to an unreasonable degree. Such as riding a bike for 6-7 hours that is a lot of riding for someone but its something I have done. There is a problem however that just started and I do not know what I can or should do about it.  Getting on my bike in the morning I start out fine no issues for about 1 minute. After that minute it feels like my heart is beating out of my chest and I start feeling like I am having a panic attack. This is not something that happens when I run, walk, or do anything else it only starts happening when I get on my bike. I also know that it is not something like super bad because it goes away quickly when I get off my bike and do something else like walking or just resting mid ride. It does start to feel no...

The "100" Mile ride!

 I did a very long ride today. I started the day out knowing it was going to be a weird ride today. The weather was listed as rain but I could not get a good answer on how much rain they thought there could be so I prepared for the worst. I put everything into plastic ziplock bags and put on a rain jacket and my boots. The boots did not feel like the right option when I started the ride as they felt off, nothing I can really describe other than not something I am used to so just off. I wore the boots as they would not let the wind freeze my feet out. I knew that my feet were going to get soaked if it rained regardless of the footware so I figured might as well be soaked but warm and the boots were the best option for that.  Up until about mile 20 everything was fine it did not really rain much yet so I was not wet at all and I was overheating in my rain coat. After mile 20 is where things started to take a turn though. I was debating on calling off the ride and just ending it ...
