I spent the first half of the week suffering with a bad sinus cold that had my head pounding. Monday, Tuesday and early morning Wednesday I just felt like crap. I missed a couple of training rides that I needed to get ready for the Time Trial at Iron Gate Winery Sunday. The good news from Tuesday was that Michael loaned me his TT helmet hoping that it helps me out for the ride. Wednesday I finally got back to riding. I did an easy 20 miles with Michael around the golf course. We kept it under 20mph because I still had some breathing issues.
Thursday, I did a solo TT on Lyman Rd. The wind was supposed to be minimal, but it was gusting crosswind and played havoc on my ride. I had to work hard to keep my tempo high and stay relaxed, which was made harder because of the fact that I still had some chest congestion. I did manage to keep rolling and not tighten up and actually had a decent time. 28:11 would have gotten me second place in the DEC Time Trial, last September, easily besting everyone but Patrick.
Friday, I got to do some good spinning on the Colnago, trying to keep the legs from tightening up any. It'll be an easy day on Saturday and then off to the TT Sunday. Steve and Larry should be joining me, and hopefully one of us will be bringing home some hardware. Details later!!!
