Thanks for the support you two. I decided to race even after a night of little sleep and lots of coughing. I wasn't quite 100% on the start line, but not all that miserable. I ended up having the opposite of a "no chain day", whatever that's called. Ended up hanging with the pack until the last 1/2 lap at which point my lungs spoke up declared that clearing mucus was more important than increasing oxygen supply, and I trailed in at the back of the pack.

I actually spent a lot of time riding near LAJ - we're both getting better and I'm sure results will start coming soon.

It was fun and I'm glad I did it, although it might have set my illness back a skosh.
