My second article for trifuel.com is here: http://www.trifuel.com/triathlon/endurance-files/maintaining-your-machine-001272.php
I hope you can find something in it that you can use to enhance your training!
On a health note, I am quite ill with a virus that I've had since last Friday. It is mostly a dry cough, and I have been resting and resting, and I think I've gone through 2 cans of chicken soup a day! I'm feeling marginally better today, but am not sure whether I will be going to California on Thursday or not. Since Ralph's is not an A race for me, there is no reason for me to subject my body to more airplane travel and a race when my business right now is getting healthy again. I am no Lisa Bentley or Chris Legh, who keep going even in the face of obvious health problems. To me that is not a heroic effort--it's pure stupidity.
I want to live (healthily) to race another day, and so until further notice, I'm not training! I know that I will be stronger for the enforced rest, and that I am doing the right thing for myself right now.

That's a very detail article. Get well soon.
Oh Sheila!!! I'm hoping you are well enough to go...but...you have to do what's best for your body even though it's a tough decision to make, it is a wise one!! I'm hoping you make a speedy recovery in time...but ya know..i've been reading how the water is like 50 something degrees out there and they've been having some winter like conditions..brrrrrr that's freaking cold..:-)) Besides, if you don't go, just think how badly you're going to kick all of our collective asses out in SC.
bravo for your mental toughness.
Great article.
I hope you recover quickly and make it out for Ralph's.
I'll be there as a spectator.
Good call, Sheila.
I'm glad to see you are not so obessed that you would risk your health for a race.
You will come back stronger from a nice rest. Enjoy it.
Get better soon!!! See a doctor if you have to. I put it off 5 days when I was sick and paid for it with lost training time.
