Yep, you heard me right... SICK. Again. Freaking road racing. I hate being sick, it really sucks.
I raced in N. GA on Sunday for my first road race this year (and incidentally my second road race ever), and the rain was hating on some riders from the beginning. We knew that it was going to be bad, but I don't think anyone expected the conditions to be as bad as they ended up being. In fact, I think that out of a 30ish rider starting A field, only the 4 or 5 who were in the leading break finished the race. Only 2 riders from BC finished, both of them the least experienced in road racing. The rest of us are weak.
Apparently though, dropping out before I completely froze wasn't enough to keep me from getting sick again. This makes 2 times in a year, and even worse, 2 times in a month. I don't actually ever get sick, so this is pretty frustrating. Hopefully I'll be back on it for this weekend so that I can help BC bring the pain. Maybe. I've noticed that neither Wells or I (or probably Tristan) are really ready for high end LT stuff like covering attacks and sprinting up the hills. There are a lot of guys out there who have been doing that for a while already this year, and it is definitely hurting so far.
Also, it has come to my attention that my lunch is cold. I probably should go heat that up so that I don't end up with some cold food disease. I also have several tests this week that I need to be studying for. Peace.

I am right there with you on the high-end LT. But, road racing also holds incredibly more strategy than mtb (or cross). In mtb, it seems as though the strongest person will tyically win. In road, the strongest person who rides the smartest and most flawlessly (and often who has other team members helping him/her) wins. It appears to me that those who do the least work in the peloton somehow fare the best. It's like in being in a group for an academic project and having no one want to do any of the work but still receive the highest marks.
Soapbox.
Mtb is so much more fun.
i don't know what high end lt is.
