Clue phone was ringing.

I should have seen it coming....I knew something wasn't quite right when I woke up Saturday morning....maybe I should have noticed something wasn't quite right when it took me 5 days to feel OK again after Louisville. I showed up with no motivation Saturday and no top end speed or power. Overall I was just in a blah mood. Probable should have taken it as a sign not to race, but I had heard so much about the great course and it was only :40 mintures from home. Andrea raced the 3 women and was 3rd.

Elicia was 4th in the 1,2 women and I finished 2nd. I filed in about 10th wheel and by the 2nd run up I was following Mark. I was even feeling good enought to give the ol' Rock N Roll to the photographers....

but Mark was just cruising...next time around he decided to hit the gas and that was all she wrote for me....he proceeded to put about 10 seconds per lap into me.....

The running was tough so half way through I attempted to make some time by remounting after the barrier instead of running, but all that did was get me some loud encouragment from Half Acre Tim and the Polish Superfans. It was fun, but not any faster.

After the race we tried to hit up great harvest bread, but it was closed. We had an awesome dinner at Hildebrads and then enjoyed some Halloween fun at the State Park where Andrea and I were married.

In the middle of the night about 2:00am when it was time to fall back I felt the swollen glands and the sore throat. All weeek everyone at the bike shop was sick...I did my best to wash my hands a lot, but I guess I caught a little somethign. No race on Sunday for me...stuck in the recliner wathcing football. It wasn't all that bad as I really haven't watched a football game all season. I slammed the fluids, vit C, echinacea, and garlic... Feeling a little better today. In the mean time I have to find some extra cash if a Euro Cross Campaign is in the future...if you need a new Fuel maybe you can help?
