3 DAYS OUT AND I'M FEELING LIKE...

AT 4PM YESTERDAY I COULD FEEL IRRITATION IN MY SINUSES AND A TWITCH IN MY THROAT.  I looked at my daughter, pail and clearly suffering a summer cold...

... dawgawn kids.

She knew my only A race of the summer is in a scant 3 days.  As she left to go home and sleep, she looked at me and said... 

... Don't worry dad drink a lot of water and get some vitamin C.

She was calm.

I was in a full panic.

Her advice was solid, but there was one more tool to add to the mix...

... Zicam. 

I went immediately to the grocery store and scored a pack.  And, I've taken the max dosage, plus gallons of water and handfuls of vitamin C...

... and a solid night's sleep.

This afternoon Surfergirl wanted to go for an easy spin,

Ugh.

Ok.

I kitted up in a hurry, hustled out the door and looked at my Wahoo.

116 bpm.

No bueno.

I settled in behind the wheel and drove to the trailhead.  Looked at the Wahoo again.

55 bpm

That's more like it.

Now it would be a question of watching it as I lazily climbed up the mountain.  If it dropped fast, things were good.  If it stayed pegged...

... the h.r. rose and dropped with the terrain.

Perfect.

Now it's just a matter of getting the rest, staying on the regimen and thinking positive healthy thoughts...

... yes, I'm woowoo with positivity.

This was such a relief to see.

We've been getting rain every afternoon... the trails are excellent.

So, I had to uncork it a bit on the way down.

Made myself a tall, chocolate goodness when I got back.
