Delhi-belly puts an end to this week's sessions

Well folks, it finally happened: India caught up with me. Let's just say that my training plans are a week behind due to some unplanned visits to the porcelain. I took the day off on Monday to rest from a really good 2hr indoor ride on Sunday. Then Monday night it set in and it's now Friday and I'm still as weak as a dandelion in a early morning spring breeze. Oh well, I guess it's just the way things roll here on the sub-continent. I've been coming here since October and never gotten ill from the food. Well, it seems like the monsoons bring not only rolling storms with sideways rain but also an additional layer of complexity when it comes to water-borne illnesses. So I'm trying to avoid all salads and fruits that haven't been well prepared. That's painful when you want to eat healthily but I think it was some lettuce that finally took me down. Next plan is to try and avoid malaria and dengue fever and all of those other nasties that are brought on by mosquito bites. So I guess it's just me, my hotel room and the Ritchey. Hopefully I'm good enough to get on it tomorrow for a light spin. We'll see...
