About Me

I am avid cyclist from Hungary having rode over 7000miles in 2012 and completed a number of races and rides in Italy (Dolomites), Austria and Central Europe. In September 2014 due to an atrial fibrillation I was admitted to emergency care in a Budapest hospital... At the time I thought it was over training but soon discovered that I was experiencing an Atrial Fibrillation that doctors could not manage through medication. During routine tests to determine what was going on I discovered that I had an undiagnosed condition namely a bicuspid valve and a serious aneurysm of 5.5cm. The result was of course an operation to fix the problem a few months later... Now I am recovering and looking to understand what it will take to get back to my pre-operation shape.
