Best laid plans of .........

Well with big plans for the racing trip to Belgium in 2010 I've come down with some sort of virus with many of the symptoms of Barr - Epsteins.

However its not B - E, the blood tests prove that so I have some sort of unidentifiable virus that has really screwed my training and my plans for this year.

I was pretty much on track up until Easter, raced pretty well the four days over Easter then bang, absolutely nothing in the tank.

4 weeks off and a week back to base training went OK, even though I had to knock 25 watts off of my FTP to cope, one day into the second week of Base training re-visited and I'm back to square one, nothing in the tank again for no apparent reason.

A few more days off, then I managed to complete a 3 day burts at Base, then I got stung by a Bee!!!!! I am allergic to Bee stings so wham, I'm out for another 8 days.

Oh well there is always next year.

Looking on the positive side, I haven't cancelled my flight, just rolled it forward into 2011.
