season over .......maybe tris over.......

If the clots originated in your legs (as is usually the case) then they could put in a greenfield filter so you do not have to be on coumadin....

worth asking about - as well as the work up for why you got the clots to begin with.... APC resistance?

Sorry to hear that, man... of course before worrying about cycling, hope those clots go away.

I'm on Coumadin, and am on the bike... and my doctor is aware... all my doc said was "Make sure you wear a helmet."  Ok. 

There are other BTers also who have raced while on blood thinners... I wouldn't worry too much about long-term stuff right now.

Best of luck getting rid of those clots.

I am sorry to hear that.  I hope they can figure things out for you quickly.

Man, that is not the news to hear.  Hopefully they help you figure out a way to get back at it.

My thoughts are with you, Chris. I hope more tests may bring better news.

Best Wishes, keep us informed.

Wow!  Hoping that you get good news sooner rather than later.

 Hoping for the best for you. 

I am glad that the clots were caught..those things are nothing to play around with. I will keep you in my prayers...like everyone else said, get those boogers taken care of and go from there.

that is terrible news! hopefully after the dust settles and those clots are cleared up they find the cause and you can get back on the bike

Chris,

1) Get better
2) Listen to your Dr.'s
3) Make sure they figure out why you got the clots in the first place
4) AFTER clots are disolved and medication under control you "should" be able to ride (many of us do or did)
5) You can ride after having had clots (I've had 2 previously, had to take blood thinners while pregnant) and was cleared to ride
6) Keep your chin up!
7) Keep us posted on how you are doing!

So sorry man. All the best - wishes and hugs from afar.

Sorry to hear that, man.  I saw your thread in the Health section, glad you figured out the cause!  It'll all work out.

Dude, that sucks. Get some rest while you can. You won't be down for long.

I'm so sorry to hear this - best wishes for a quick and complete recovery.  For what it's worth, my father had a series of clots that caused a pulmonary embolism and necessitated him going on cumadin for quite a long time.  He's now off it and able to exercise again, so don't lose hope!

Chris hope you get better quickly and have wise doctors caring over you.

So glad they caught it now.

Focus on getting healthy...we'll be thinking of you.

Oh Chris.......so sorry. Sending good vibes from Canada ok??

sorry to hear such miserable news - just glad that you are okay.  Will be thinking of you and wishing you well.

Wow, so sorry to hear this.

I think I've heard from somewhere that not cooling down properly after a workout can cause this for athletes, hopefully it's not something that is chronic!
