Its race day and I'm sitting here with a dry throat and slight headache. Its been a tough ride recently, dealing with all my asthma issues, mechanical last week and now this. But its all part of being a bike rider.. patience! Right now the most important thing is to be okay for the Olympics.. my World Cup overall chances are over and out.
Its the first time I've ever had a proper cold during the season. I have the feeling its been building for a while and maybe its a good thing that its comes out now.. at least better now then in 3 weeks I guess !
Still, its such a shame I can't race on this course.. its of the most technical tracks we've seen and I was really motivated to get a good finish to give some confidence before the games. Maybe now, if I get over this cold quickly, I will do some stages of the tour VTT to get some speed back in the legs.
