Amber Waves

Beautiful time of year to be a cyclist in Indiana.

I ended up with a cold the past few days. I deemed not bad enough to miss training over, but a slight cough, runny nose, general stuffiness and fatigue got me down for sure.
I rounded out my week well and on schedule. I rode CX to/at Wapahani MTB park wed and tried to be on/off (dismount/mount) as much as reasonably possible. It was a good ride that was probably beneficial.
Thursday we went and rode MTB at BCSP. It was a really good ride. i was riding on rails; super fast and w/ really good lines. I turned in a solid time for the lap we do (starting at north tower, clockwise loop of beg/aimes trail, up HP and back down, finish loop, I turned in a 1hr5min). The trail was in perfect condition and we saw probably 6 deer.
Friday I rode/ran/rode at Griffey.
Thursday aft noon, Friday all day, and Saturday all day (and still, to a lesser degree) I have been w/ this cold. I have been doubling up on the multi vitamins and chugging echinacia herbal tea and it's much better.
Today RS and I did a ~55mile ride up to Martinsville, then into the Morgan-Monroe St Forest via a back route. We busted it out at a good clip, which hopefully won't end up being a bad move and make me sicker.
I also mowed the yard, which hadn't been done for over two weeks. Hopefully it's the last of that for 2008.
This weekend is my good buddy Brian Myrick's wedding in Muncie Saturday, then a big UCI race in Cinci Sunday. I usually only get to Muncie once a year for the Endurathon (which Myrick is the director of), so it'll be cool to be here for a few hours.
Gotta make it through this week first though (and Tuesday's 6mile run!)
