Wednesday morning before the Hill2Hill mountainbike race over the weekend and there i am, in bed, blocked nose and barely able to open my eyes with the huge headache resting on my forehead. After a visit to the doctor i was back into bed and there i stayed for most of the day. The sinuses had got me and this time there to stay. In the back of my mind i kept thinking about the race coming up on the weekend, but when the doctor said i might be able to do the race on Saturday but will definitely not be on race pace, i knew it was a 50/50. I kept on telling myself that i would be better and ready on saturday, however that was infact the whole opposite of what happened.
Friday evening i knew i wasn't ready to even ride a bicycle nor race on one. Saturday morning was just a great exaple of how sick i actually was. I felt worse than i did during the previous 3 days and was absolutely glad i hadn't made the choice to race as the weather was also very miserable and raining throughout the whole day.
Over the weekend i kept on taking my antibiotics and felt a tad better on Sunday afternoon and decided that i'll return to school on monday morning. At school 70% of my class is there and the rest are at home sick. Everyone is very sick at the moment making it hard to get better but with antibiotics i will hopefully be fine by the weekend.
Wednesday after being one week sick i returned home early from school abi had a migraine. Really don't like them and they are very very sore. Now in bed again i have little hopes for this weekend, but my main goal is to support my team out there. They are really behind me and always supportive!
Thanks for all the support. I hope to be racing in form again soon!
