After yesterday's fall, I feel quite fragile.
My forearm hurts and when I go over bumps, it jars.
I feel like I don't have control of the bike. I'm not sure if this is mental, or if it's because of my sore forearm.
I feel really cautious and want to cycle really slow.
I don't feel I have the confidence I had before, of taking up the lane, merging into traffic.
Husband said perhaps it's another low.
And that training / sports involves highs and lows.
I've never done this stuff before so I don't know.
I feel like I'm another crossroads where the fear monster is trying to eat me again.
I'm not sure whether I should force myself to keep riding or rest.
I probably need a rest, but if I take a break, I worry that the fear monster will grow bigger and it will be harder to fight it.
We'll see.
