I have come down with whatever is going around.
I tried to power through. I tried denying it. I’ve taken every vitamin, supplement and vodoo-witch-doctor potion I could lay my hands but, but I am SICK. I woke up this morning feeling a little better but after a steam and 20 minutes on the trainer it just hurts too much to cough.
Crap.
My friends and family were all coming out tonite to cheer me on in my first race. Can you imaging how cool it would be to have a fan section?!?! It’s pretty inspiring that they’d do that for me. So, I’ll train harder, get better and give them a hell of a great show next time. They deserve it

Well I guess I should give Phil, Paul and Bob a heads up. They were planning to fly in from Paris for the big event. I guess the good news is that I’ll be racing - sort of by your side - next time.
They just called, they’ll be here for the Mar. 22nd race. You know, the Paris-Nice thing has their schedule a little mixed up.
