Wow being sick really sucks!

April 22, 2010

Phew, what a difference 10 days can make….from being in possibly the best shape of my life, to having a hard time riding for an hour. Unfortunately, I got hit with a pretty nasty bug coming back from Guatemala, which has completely kicked my ass. At first it was just an upset loose stomach, but then it gradually left me with no energy whatsoever. I chose not to start the Sea otter XC and I was just super drained and didn’t want to possibly dig a hole for myself. It was kind of interesting being a spectator during the race, but I for sure I wish I had been out there at the front given’ er. It wasn’t the best weekend for the team, but hopefully we got all the bad luck out of the way and there is a lot of big racing to come.

I choose to skip out on the first 2 world cups and come home and get 100% healthy. It would have been a struggle just to get to the 1st world cup with the airline chaos. It’s great to be back in Victoria and it is a good opportunity to get some household stuff done, and work on my new place. Taking an easy week and look forward soon to getting some really good riding in as the weather gets nice. It’s been a while since I rode my mountain bike up here…..

Go Canucks Go!
