Decisions.

The past couple days I've been stressing.  Three members of our family have fallen to the crud that's going around.  I feel I'm teetering on the edge but have have been slamming fluids like mad.  The forecast for the Spotted Horse Ultra is calling for rain, not only the day before (a lot) but now the day of, ugh.  200 gravel miles in the rain and wind may push me over the edge and allow the sickness to prevail.  But I'm ok with that.  However this has been a very stressful week for us, especially Jen.  Jen has been fielding all the questions regarding the house.  Every time she asks my opinion I really don't have one.  Typical guy.  It's just a bit chaotic right now.   With all that I made the difficult decision to bail on the race.  Man it was hard but I think I've made the right choice.  I didn't take it lightly and I made sure it wasn't because of the crap weather, because that's part of racing.  Nonetheless I still stress over it a bit.  But in the end it's just a race and there are always more.  Whew...crazy boy.

Not too sure what the weekend will bring now.  I'm just going with the flow I guess.  See how I feel, what the weather is doing, and what the family has up.

Happy Weekend...ride a bike!
