so for those of you following along you know that I had a tough winter of 2005/2006 with illness. Carter started day care and he brought home every bug that went around.
Well, it has started again. Another nasty cold. I started to feel it Sunday afternoon on my rollerski, by Monday AM....it was full on. Today, i have the whole array of symptoms; body ache, sore throat, head ache, nasal drip...uggh.
I have skipped training Mon and Tues, and hope to be back at it Wed. I guess I am glad there is no snow...so I am not missing skiing.
Stay healthy everybody!

Cyclocross Nationals
Final cross race of the year.
On a great course in Roger WIlliams park in RI, super fun, twisty with some elevation gain too. Wide and fair with lots of passing (remember this)
I signed up late, and line up went off of when you signed up...I had #967, and they started at 800!! Doh, that is 17 rows of 12 guys in front of me.
At the gun, I darted to the outside and passed a few folks, then it was 45min of mayem as I tried to make some crazy passes, get to another group, recover for 30sec, then punch it again. I felt good, not great. My HR was 188BPM average for the 45min, so I was getting after it.
On the last lap, I caught a group with John M from Maine, and tried to attack on the gravel road before some tech sections near the finish. They latched on, and 3 of the 4 passed me in the sprint. I ended up 37th. I had to lay on the grass for 3-4 minutes just to stop from throwing up. It was hard.
Brandon got 4th, and Brian H 18th in the "small" 30-34 race of 81 guys, solid rides by each.
Now a bit of a recovery (prompted by the cold I got Sat) and final ramp to Winter Tri Nationals in Feb.
