flu

i got the flu at some point on sunday, not really sure when perhaps it was during the race that it hit me, i had a good start and i was going well, keeping the leaders withing striking distance, top 5 or so, and then i just started to fade. odd because i made sure i didn't start too hard, not the full on ballistic cross start that is the norm, i was rolling in fourth or fifth and then the laps started to take so much out of me, sections i would normally flow through were taking so much more energy. it was around this point that i got cross gut pretty badly, not sure what end it going to leave by, i think the race pushed the flu more to the front. i went backwards about 20 minutes in, and then i just had nothing left. on the way home i was dealing with a rolling stomach that wasn't too bad. shaubie started to hurl about 11 or midnight and i wasn't far behind. my dinner was mostly gone from my stomach but the heaves weren't so pleasant. oh well, i'm feeling better now. hopefully i can get out for a snow ride tomorrow with number 1, i know that would make him happy. he loves the snow so much, it's his favorite season, dogs and snow just go together, well longer haired ones at least. i feel bad for dogs with short hair that can't enjoy the winter weather. winter is here.
