The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

So you should know the risks better than anyone and be understanding of the riders decision. A wet track and windy increases risk by a singnificant amount.

I do understand the risks very well.
I'm sure that a lot of riders would be happy to have started yesterday.
The decision to not run was probably based on the views of the top riders - I doubt they canvassed the whole field.
You ride to the conditions, wet, dry, windy or misty. It's an island in the middle of the Irish Sea. Have the organisers forgotten that?

I got ready for church and then had to rush to the loo............diarrhea again ,
I keep on getting that, I think it's my iron tablets or metformin that I'm taking.

Metformin father in law had same problem,you cannot go on with diarrhea.

You need divine intervention or failing that, immodium.

Almost certainly the metformin as, if anything, iron is more inclined to cause constipation.

Iron tablets tend to have the opposite effect I think

Guess what

Iron tablets tend to have the opposite effect I think

Diarrhea can be a common side effect of iron tablets, particularly in the initial stages of treatment or if the dose is too high. It's often related to the iron's impact on the gut microbiome and can be exacerbated by taking iron on an empty stomach.
