Well that's a buzz kill

I was hoping that my next post would be about my successful completion of the Prospect Park Duathlon, which was supposed to be my first race involving a bike. Unfortunately, a small part of my lung decided to collapse the night before instead, so I spent the night in the ER and have to be cleared to exercise again. The condition is called spontaneous pneumothorax and I'm working on figuring out exactly how serious that is. The ER docs made it sound like something that happens from time to time, but we'll see what the pulmonologist says before I get back on the road.
