 Early this week I got the Flu, I'm so mad and frustrated since this week we have the Power Test and the Race Rehearsal :-(

    Cervelo- don't worry. You've been around this block before and your going to be just fine! Many Many Many stories about folks to got injured/sick within this short time before the race and in the end the illness/injury only served to actually HELP them because the really did taper and rest before race day. You'll be great!!!

    BTW- what is your full name? How am I gonna track you and cheer for you if I don't know who you are!

    Oh- and PS- get well soon!! The Flu sucks no matter when you get it. Good vibes coming your way!

    Oh, Cervelo, so sorry to hear this. Your ticket is to rest and get over this. I totally agree with Nemo that the extra rest can be a benefit. Not that it is completely the same, but as an example, I got really sick 1.5 weeks from the Denver Marathon in '08. I laid in bed or on the couch for probably 7 solid days. On race day I set a 20 minute PR and qualified for Boston. Soooo....you never know.

    Please rest up. Don't sweat the power test. I think IIRC that is more of a validation point for the numbers you're using. If you want post a Q in the "this week" feedback thread for the coaches re: your RR.

    See you in 3 weeks.

    skip the test and rest. get better to be 100% on race day...use this time to line up all gear, bike fixes/maintenance, etc. start mentally prepping, etc. you'll be fine! If you can't do the RR, ping us next week and we'll adjust!

    Cervelo,
    How are you feeling? Are you over the flu yet? Hope you're doing better. FYI, I had a crappy RR#2 and so last week really put a damper on my psyche, you're not alone.

    Hi Stephen

    Thanks for asking, I'm back to normal :-) and I also had a crappy RR#2 since I felt very weak. I cant believe that we only have 17 days left

    See you all soon :-)

    Dudes...I didn't even do RR#2. Bailed after 1 hour, 10 mins. It was just not my day....Gotta go with what we've got I guess.

    Glad you're better now Cervelo!
