getting worse

i have missed more training days in the past week due to sickness than i had since march. on thursday, i felt like i was turning the corner. i rode the trainer thursday night and friday night but woke up feeling a bunch of crud in my lungs that i cannot shake. i walked the nationals course a little bit today but haven't ridden a bike yet (stationary or otherwise). maybe some more light spinning during the packer game...

i know this is just a hobby, but every time i rode this year i thought (at least briefly) about these races coming up. i felt like i did as much work as i could to get to a place to take a shot at my best finish possible. and now i feel powerless to this stupid cold. running up the stairs leaves me wheezing at the moment - that doesn't translate well to a snowy nationals course at badger prairie.

the course itself actually looks fun - they plowed it and it has grass in a few spots. i'm sure it will get muddy and icy over the next week of riding on it but considering we got 18 inches of snow a few short weeks ago, it actually looks ready for a bike race.

happy saturday.
