Sorry Lil Wayne-

but I’m sick, not ill. Bronchitis with a side of tendinitis thrown in for good measure. I got an awesome head cold and tried to walk it off, but the tendinitis kicked in hard and I couldn’t even walk. So now I’m army-crawling it off- leaving a snot slick behind me the whole way. I’m like a mucousy Exxon Valdez- there’re volunteers desperately washing off ducks and otters that got caught in my wake. As for training- I’ve been coughing pretty much non-stop, which has done wonders for my abs. I may not win a bike race like this, but I can take my shirt off and shame the actual winner into submission. Best yet- I don’t even have to ride around getting cold, I can just sit in my truck coughing until the podium ceremony. The season is looking up!
