Training hard

Am I the only one who is training hard? 20 hours a week. Intensity,
recovery, endurance etc. I am losing self confidence. Actually, I am just
tesing how this news group posting thing works...but I am wondering a bit
though....

cheers

Not every week but coming up to the ski season I just thought that's what
all the folks who are racing do. Who writes those darn internet sites on
training. Psychos obviously....OK then, in that case, I hope that I am fast
then....

oh I get it. It's good you're not serious, otherwise I'd be concerned for
you.

Because there's so many more important and rewarding things to do in life.
You know like . . .

Actually, I am just tesing. Really I meant things like arguing about the
theory of ski technique, or testing different models of rollerski
equipment.

Not me. I'd guess that the majority of racers on this newsgroup are trying
to see how _few_ hours they can train and still get a decent result.

I thought the main purpose of posting summer training reports to this
newsgroup was to prove how little ski-specific activity you're doing.

I'm doing something too hard. Last night raced a local crit. Last
week I had a bad cold with fever etc.. I attacked and attacked last
night. I felt like complete crap the entire race yet I had good legs so
I just kept going hard.

I get home around 21:30 and take a shower and I start shaking like a
leaf. Fever. Spent the entire night sweating buckets. Went through 5
t-shirts and drenched the sheets good too.

I get up this morning feeling a little dazed but pretty well ready to
go again.

What gives?

I guess that just goes to show, don't do crits when you are crook. Simple
I'd say. The reason you are probably sick is because you are run down from
something.
