Not sure whether my horrible ride last Sunday caused my sickness or was coming down with something that taxed my body before the race but have been sick for several days since with a rampaging infection. Felt weak and got lightheaded just standing up so didn't get back on the bike until today. Temperature was a perfect eighty and there was only a little wind so seemed like a good day to get back on the horse that through me. Decided on Ridge Road reverse since all the climbing would be in the first seven miles and if I felt poorly during the climb I could just turn around and coast home. Didn't push myself too hard on the climb up Jackson Hill and had a decent climb though nothing to write home about. Satisfied with the first climb I tried to pick the pace up on the secondary climbs to Seymourville and quickly ran out of air and felt dizzy. Kept at it as only had another mile of climbing to go to the high point then the finish was a twenty mile gradual descent. Spun it out and tried to keep from going over my limit but limit was pretty low today. Don't remember much of the ride as just kept my head down and the pedals churning and counted off the miles remaining. Not a good ride but was a little encouraged that I got a few miles of climbing in before I was overtaxed as opposed to Sunday when I collapsed right out of the gate.
