Annual Sickness

I get this Annual cold. No matter what I do, I'm sick at least once a year, and it's usually a good one. The body rebelling or expelling - who knows. Fortunately its now behind me. Its Sunday, and I'm feeling "raring to go". This year it hit me pretty hard and at an inopportune time - the night before this last race. Those bed sweats were not nerves like I thought - just a good old fashioned fever. The second night, the night after the race, was even worse. Ug - lets hope all that is behind me.

I'm over-ready to start training again. All this racing has gotten in the way of a really good training cycle. I miss it. There are 20 some-odd weeks until the next A race - Woodlands 101. I've got plenty of time for a good Base cycle - it will be interesting to see what the heart rate is up to.

Thanks to everyone who gave me some comment love and well wishes on our Alcatraz trip - your thoughts were needed and well received. This really is a great community of folks and friends we've all built and joined - technology is a wonderful thing. Good luck to everyone who is racing today and yesterday - I'm looking forward to hearing of your accomplishments!

Side note - IMCdA is upon all of you heading out that way, and for those of us considering '08, decision time is here! I'm starting to wonder, financially, if IMFL'08 would not be better for the Bigun, since I can drive and not have to pay for air fare and bike shipping. Career changes are starting to grip the wallet a bit. I don't know. This will be a tough decision.
