So nice to just lie in bed this morning under the covers with the air conditioning on – no mosquitos a bonus! There was an awesome buffet at the hotel – eggs, fruit, cereal, croissants. Ate well but then of course felt sick afterwards. Lay down for a while before then walking into town – found a pizza place with ice cream and milk shakes. Ate there – same thing happened – felt awful – so returned to the hotel, lay in bed, watched TV and talked on the computer!! Kendra, Scott and Len went off to a pasta place but I stayed in bed. Had a really restful day and an early night was planned – just what I need.
I am really struggling with how sick I feel and what decisions to make. What I should be doing. I was told not to ride and am riding anyway. But how important is EFI? How important is the race? The most important thing is to recover – especially as I have plans for other events after TDA. This is an amazing experience but I don’t want to get hurt – I want to get better. I said I would ride these three days and see how I recovered.. So – I am going to see how bad (or good) I feel tomorrow – if not so good then I will possibly skip the next 5 days – get checked out in hospital – check the medicine etc etc. Hopefully I will feel better tomorrow and able to continue – even then I will take it really slowly until I am fully recovered. If I do decide to take a break then I would hope to return fit and ready to race again. I just want to do what’s best. Whatever – I am definitely going to be taking things easy over the next 5 days at least. Longer if necessary. And even then if I do feel bad again I will simply take the bus ahead. There is a lot of importance at camp about EFI – which is fine all the time you are well enough to keep it – it would be nice but is not the end of the world if it doesn’t happen! I would certainly rather take a week off and then join in the race again rather than struggle through each day just to keep EFI. Let’s see what tomorrow brings!
