Traveling to Belgium for bike racing
Today, Alistair and I flew back to California from Belgium. We arrived after a 14 hr ordeal that was quite eventful and now I will go to sleep. Alistair is very sick. He coughed all night last night and then threw up. He is running a high fever. It seems likely this played a role in his Ster performance on Monday.
Tomorrow I will post more wrap-up and pictures. Stay tuned and thanks for your support.
I am in active endurance racing, both running and cycling. I am a USAC Level 2 power-certified coach.
My athletic "career" started late, and first I took up cycling. Later I switched to running because of time constraints and job demands. After another break I finally got "serious" about 7 years ago. I started competing in endurance triathlons and managed to improve continuously. I finished several endurance events including 11 iron distance races. I qualified for and ran the Boston marathon three times. Three times I missed a Hawaii Ironman slot by a narrow margin.
