This is Day 3 of my cold now and last night was full of coughing fits. Not fun. But at least I don't have to worry about finding time for training.

Then there is this thing about which races give the most credibility among average Swedes. Over the last few days I have been collecting many comments and CykelVasan still has zero cred compared to Vasaloppet or VätternRundan. So even though everyone is calling this a great step forward for MTB, there is a long way to go. And the fact is still that advertising in Norway really brought the numbers up. But the organization was superb and the classes were simple...either Tävling or Motion. No 'Hsport' this or that like every other race.

I have already written here about doing Vasaloppet and about the triple races in Norway but am I willing to sacrifice CX season for that? Nja...not exactly.
