As soon as I got home from Europe I knew I was on the edge of being sick. I woke up Tuesday morning with my chest feeling tight and something weird going on in my voice box. By Wednesday evening I was sounding like a frog and had a nasty cough to go with it. I had taken every tincture I could think of and was popping cold FX and vitamins like they were candy, I even did a quick 3 day anti biotic treatment to see if I could kick it in time for Nationals. But things just moved from my chest to my throat and sinus and I wasn't able to train for 9days. On March 20th I was supposed to fly to New Brunswick to kick off Canadian Champs. I pushed my flights to Monday and then to Tuesday in hopes I would get better and be able to race the sprint on Thursday But no such luck, after much thought and talking to everyone, I made the decision to sit out Nationals. It was a hard call but probably for the best, it would have taken me a day to get to Charlo and I am only now starting to feel close to better. My last races in Europe I was skiing the faster I have all year and was really looking forward to fighting for the podium at Nationals. But this is the life of a skier, one minute you feel like no one can knock you down and the next you are sentenced to bed rest for a week or two.
This week in Canmore I have been loving the Nordic centre, going for snail pace skis with anyone who will join me! This is the most snow I can remember in Canmore, where all the trails are open! It is going to be great spring skiing!
This April Brendan and I are going to Belize for 9days, to soak up some sun and enjoy some much needed rest.
Good job to everyone at Canadian Champs and see most of you back in Canmore.
Cheers
Rosanna
