Cough, Cough

After all my careful planning and attempts to avoid this scenario, it finally happened. There's no use trying to cover it up now. I am officially sick. There I said it, and I hate admitting it. There is nothing in this world worse than catching the flu, or cold, or other kind of virus. The last few days have found me hanging out in the steam room, eating a ton of fruit, sleeping in the afternoon, and worst of all NO RIDING.

It's only been 2 days, but I feel I'm going crazy. I look at how much time I have left and realize it's not much and I need to make the most of it, but I can't do that if I'm lying around all day with a fever. I'm looking at this positively and it's my body's way of say to slow down a bit, but c'mon. I'm not stuffed up, I just have a fever and chills, so at least it's nothing too major.

The Tour of Belgium is starting today in Oostende, only about 30km from here. I wanted to go an watch the start, but I won't be doing that today. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel well enough to get out and ride a bit. I'd rather take a couple of days off now then a week or two later, so I'm doing anything.

Other than that everything is going well. I'm still in high spirits and can't wait to apply what I've learned over here. I'll be home before I know it, and part of me can't wait, but another part just wants to keep on racing. I need to push all those thought out for now however, with 5 weeks of racing left over here I need to get the most out of it as I can.

I'm scheduled for another kermis this weekend if I feel up to it, but after that I have no idea. I just want to get back to the UCI races.

Well it's time for my steam room session, talk to you all later.
