One Long Week

Posted October 20th, 2007 by mike

It has been quite a long week since I last posted anything.  First, I showed my skills and won the beginner class of the Great Glenn Cyclocross Series on Sunday.  Its not as great as it sounds.  I beat one person who is 61 years old who has had both knees replaced.  I don’t feel like such a winner anymore.  Monday and Tuesday weren’t anything special.  I did get to ride on Tuesday night on the single speed.  Wednesday I got to ride with Sven over in Davis Hill for a night ride.  It was a rather nice ride.  I have never been on those trails and I liked the way they were laid out.  This is where things went downhill.   I got home, tried going to sleep and at about 11 that is when the “magic” started happening.  Next followed more then 36 hours of throwing up.  GOOD TIMES.  The one upside of it is that I have lost more than 7 lbs so far.  That is a positive thing, I guess.  Other than that, I have been most likely laying around the house, which is somewhat fun, but having to get up to puke every once in a while isn’t so much.  Unfortunately I won’t be able to do the race tomorrow because the lack of solid food for 3 days has left me so week that I get tired just walking up the stairs.

It has been one long week.  Hopefully next week will be much better and I will be able to get some more decent rides in.
