We're in the meat of the cyclocross season and I'm sick. It's an 'off the course' skill to avoid getting sick during fall racing. It gets really challenging with kids. During CX season you just have to remember, like anything during a cyclocross race, something is going to go wrong. There's not such thing as a perfect race/season, it's how you recover and push forward that makes the difference.
Shortly after the Halloween race, the next day to be specific, I came down with a pretty gnarly cold. I've been off the bike, miserable, for the last 8 days. I think I'm mostly over the cold so just this morning I jumped on the trainer for a 30 min ride to see how the body would react. So far so good, no violent relapse. I feel ready to start working out but I'm willing to give it a few extra days to make sure, so I don't lose more time due to a relapse or other complication.
Big Ring Parker CX in on tap this Saturday. It's the second team race this year and it's not in the 'Boulder Bubble'. It's a great course and I'm looking forward to racing! See you there.
