aw, [censored]

<Monique Y. Mudama
Woke up in the middle of the night congested and sore-throated.
Developed a headache and aversion to light by morning.

This would naturally happen just before my race on Sunday. I'm hoping
that by resting at home today, I'll be able to beat it.

I don't want to be racing at 9.2Kft altitude with a stuffed up nose and
a headache =/ As if my body weren't handicap enough!

Okay, what's the punch line? There IS a punch line, right. I'm tearing
up here. C'mon, with the build up you gave us, this has to be a joke.

Get well Monique!

Thank you. I'm working on it, though Eric tells me that lying in bed
might be better rest than reading newsgroups ...

Clearly I need a laptop.

I swear by this stuff, works better if you catch it at the first little
twinge. Go ahead laugh, flame tell me I'm wasting my $$, but I haven't had
the crud in about 7 years.

News group for a while, rest while, rinse, repeat. Lot's of fluid. Watch
funny stuff on TV.

BTDT. My advice after painful bad experience: don't race sick or
just recovering. Your body is already weak; racing will make it worse
or cause a relapse. Your results will be worse than hoped or
expected; that will bum you out. Before a race, you've got to have
that go-for-it eye-of-the-tiger attitude. If your feeling mentally
and physically less than 100%, that's a recipe for disaster. Better
to blow the registration fee than mess yourself up.

OTOH, if you don't get dinged too bad and it's gone enough so you can
pre-race spin on Saturday with no problem, you might give it a shot.

Best of luck. What a pain in the butt.

I can just see the post race pit with a guy telling his buddy...

"So the whole race I'm being followed by this chic on a Sugar who's
yelling 'On your Leb, On your Leb!'"

Hope you're felling better soon! (Hot & Sour Soup always works for me)

Dammit, it's raining again. I haven't had a clear view of the foothills
for days because of the rain hanging over 'em. I bet the race will be
one big mud puddle, anyway.

The rule is if the symptoms are above the neck race (although butterflies
feel like they are in your stomach they are really in you head)! It's your
call on the sore throat... Just ask yourself how bad will you feel if you
don't race? I don't think you are going to find any races this convenient
for you the rest of the year... The first race is always the hardest.

See you Sunday,

-p

That's a little subnormal for Rog's posts. Usually he ends up owing me a new
keyboard. ;-)

Quitcherbitchin. Here's a thought for you. You come and organise my
daughter's wedding on Friday (or pay for it? Both?) and I'll come race your
race. Deal?

have you ever googled "bridezilla"? Ettiquettehell.com is another good on,
if I got that right.

Congrats, BTW.

Monique would probably do well to race if it's muddy. The riders who
have raced before may think 'it's just another race' so they'll just sit
this one out. Of course, if she's running semi-slicks, she'll be in a
heap-o-trouble.

I'm not laughing, flaming or anything, but I think it's a bit late this
time around. And I've heard mixed reviews of Echinacea.

I'm sticking to tylenol and gatorade (since I can't seem to drink enough
plain water right now to keep my mouth from feeling dry) right now --
avoiding decongestants on the theory of letting it all out.

Mmm. Hot and Sour soup ... maybe I'll ask Eric to pick some up for me
tomorrow at lunch (he works about 3 minutes from home). Should get the
nose going.

He grilled burgers and made nachos for dinner =) Even had the good
graces to tell me, "I hear you need calories when you're sick" to make
me feel okay about pigging out. Only real fun I've had all day, so I
guess it's okay just this once ...
