i’m not sure if i fully recorded this last week or not, but after riding 100 miles of nowhere, i noticed that my hands were not as they used to be. certain pressure points caused tingling and for a few solid days, my pinkies and ring fingers were partially numb. this has happened to me before. except last time it went away after a few days. here i am, 10 days later, and still experiencing numbness and tingling. its definitely not nearly as bad as it started out, but its still causing discomfort.
i went to spin for the first time this morning since the ride now that my knee is recovered and was irritated that my palms were still causing me problems. i had to keep a towel layered between my hands and the bar to minimize discomfort. it worked. sorta. i had trouble last night at the gym too with the hand weights for the same reasons.
i need gloves with more padding. and to change my hand position more often. great, lesson learned. can it be better now?
