Wake up Call

So for the second straight race I get going and wind up with severe stomach issue. Only this time instance, despite my efforts, I took my first DNF of racing. Last race I muscled through. I know it was the smart thing to do. So since, I have been trying to determine the problem, and have made some appointments with specialists.
My family has a history of colon-rectal cancer, and to be honest, this stuff scares you. I know that it will turn out to be stress, but if I do not address the issue, then at the starting line of each new race, I will be left waiting for something bad to happen.
Testing is not going to be glamorous, but hopefully it will provide some answers. Hopefully I can settle down and train until then!
