got me
i mentioned on friday that coming out of my rest day i felt pretty rough. well, it got worse. throughout the afternoon i could tell that i was getting worse but was pretty busy so i filed it away. on my ride home, i knew i was in trouble. i went and got calvin at dc and then when we got home we went up stairs and he let me get in bed while he played with his trains. by then i was in full on fever mode, chills and very achy. robin drove up to gresham while i sat in the front seat delirious. i went straight to bed when we arrived and i slept until 9 the next morning. i was feeling very tired and very 'hazy' but better. this kind of stuff happens to me a couple times every year, like a 36 hour virus that is very intense but then relents rather quickly. i have become so sensitive to things as i get older...
our floor is getting finished up today. it was supposed to be done on friday but so it goes. they got the stain down on friday and were going to poly on saturday but he couldn't come because of childcare issues. he came yesterday to poly but we all decided that the stain wasn't dark enough so he did a couple of tinted poly coats to darken it more. that meant that the finish coat had to wait until today. i will say this, they look great and in the end will be worth the wait. we were feeling pretty down about it yesterday, but then we remembered that 1) this is self inflicted and 2) we are very fortunate (in the big scheme) to be able to be worried about what color our wood flooring is. after that it didn't seem so bad.
i did get out for some time yesterday just to get the legs moving. i was feeling some lingering lethargy but it really felt nice to get moving again. and while we were sequestered in the basement i was able to do a little more work on the cx bike. i'm close, i need to get the chain on and i'm waiting for a front brake tube thing but once those are in place i can start adjusting everything and maybe get out for a spin one of these nights. we'll see, i may be spending most of my time getting ready for wausau24. i'm sure glad the sickness hit me this weekend instead of next...
last weeks training:
m: 1:45 (commute)
t: 1:15 (commute)
w: 2:15 (commute/blackhawk)
r: 0 (off)
f: 1:00 (commute)
s: 0 (sick)
n: 1:30 (roads/paths downtown/arboretum)
total: 7:45
not bad with 2 days off. i'm going to have an odd week again with some training sessions mixed throughout. 6-7 hours of riding on saturday will make up for it!
happy monday.
