Anouk | The Anxious Cyclist

3 months off the bike due to cptsd struggles and a covid infection to top it off. I have been trying to get myself back on the bike for weeks. Today I finally did it. 21 minutes of pure suffering at 105 watt. This is me crying from pain, exhaustion and happiness for finally getting back on the bike, all at the same time.
