Last Sunday was supposed to be my 2 Half-Iron of 2009. Due to the rain in Dallas that I decided to drop out of the race. I didn't feel it would be safe and I just felt it would be too much to risk with IM Cozumel coming up and with my other races this year. I was surprised that Jack Weiss kept the race going. He had to shorten the bike course because of the conditions and there was a lot of road construction to deal with. I hated to miss out on the race but I think it was the right thing to do. I did however get a 13 mile run in after we got back home.
The rest of the week sucked for training. I had a long week at work that included a day trip to Madisonville and a trip San Antonio for 2 days. This really didn't help. To make matters worse I have been fighting some stomach bug for the last few days. I did get a short swim in on Friday and a 10 mile run on Saturday but I seem to be paying for that now. If I feel up to it I am going to ride the spinning bike later today. I don't want to be too far away from the bathroom.

Ewww! Tummy bugs are no fun when training. Stay hydrated and get some probiotics.
Sounds like a smart decision (not to race). feel better and we're about 2 months out ! eeeeps !
Smart to drop out of the race, I busted up a great Colnago racing in a silly duathlon because I didn't have enough sense to say "no, this is stupid to race in a storm"
But hey i did get a new bike...
