I had two good hard weeks and was about to go into my last one before a recovery week… and now I’m sick. I had a pretty bad sore throat but now it seems like it’s just going to be a typical cold — hopefully a mild one.
I’m still not quite sure how I feel about training when sick. A lot of folks say “if it’s above the neck, you can ride,” but I still tend toward believing that more rest is better. I guess if I’m feeling significantly better after work I will consider riding tonight.
Besides the cold, training is going very well. I’m increasing my weekly hours and still feeling relatively fresh and I think I’m getting consistently stronger. I’ve got a crit coming up, a few more road races, and that will be the end of the season.
