I hope this late start to the season pays off this year...

Last year was a long and tiring season.  It started right after the 2012 Iceman and end at the finish line of the December 8th, 2013 CX race at Addison Oaks.  Then what followed is a first for me in 14 years.  I got the Norovirus around the time of the Oakland County Wrestling Championships (so I missed this), then I got a very bad cold 3 weeks later and this lasted at least 10 days.  After the cold cleared up I had a bad allergy / sinus issue.   Then about a week ago my son and I were wrestling and I believe he either cracked one of my ribs or dislocated it.  So riding has been low on the list of things to do.  I am slowly starting to get back into the old schedule.  I am including some running to help accelerate my fitness and recovery.   I hope to get in a few rides out at Pontiac Lake Rec. Area trail this week.  We will see but I am hoping to do the Pontiac Lake Time Trial and then have my son do the Beginner class race there.
