infirmary
calvin woke up today even more sick than he was yesterday. most alarming was his fever, but that has subsided to low grade after a solid dose of tylenol. i'm home with him today, trying to orchestrate work while adequately comforting my son.
i managed an hour on the trainer last night - it was tough sledding breathing wise in the beginning but it did seem to loosen things up and by the end i was riding better. i was thinking i could ski after work tonight but now it is looking more like another trainer workout during naptime is more likely. oh, i just remembered that i got a flat while riding the trainer last night. the training gods are against me.
the forecast for next week is looking interesting. with moderate temps early in the week (upper thirties/sunny) it is going to get pretty messy. then, for the big one on saturday it will be cold and icy. oh well, what can you expect in wisconsin in january?
that does remind me of thoughts i've been having regarding the u.s. national championships. after seeing it the past two seasons, i think it is too late. i get trying to align with other countries but it just doesn't work here. and, for the few u.s. guys shooting for elite worlds they would be better suited participating in the world cups in rome (sunday) and hoogerheide (sunday after nationals). since i know that usa cycling is reading this (yea right), please move nationals back to early/mid december. your main base is the age groupers that will never ride a world championships.
happy friday.
