Well as luck would have it I woke up today not feeling well at all and have a nice sore throat to go along with it. I've been sick so rarely over the past several years that this is quite frustrating for me. I've been only just barely keeping up both mentally and physically through this past week with the heat and stress of the competition.... Thank goodness I at least have 24 hours to try and get started on recovery. It's quite interesting that I became sick, as yesterday morning, I skipped my daily vitamin regimin, trying to conserve on my limited supply. Makes me wonder what a good choice that was to skip, and if I might have lost the edge on my immune system as a result. Needless to say I will be taking it quite easy today and tonight. If I don't fly on the first day, the competition is basically over for me before it even starts. On the other side of the coin, the last time I flew while sick at a competition about 6 years ago, I ended up with pneumonia which took almost a year to completely recover from.... Tough decisions ahead...
The goal of this competition for the US pilots is to try and get a finish in the top 20. If you do this you get an automatic invite to the Superfinal in Italy in the fall. This is the ultimate competition in my sport, and would be a once in a lifetime experience for any pilot.....
