Well I got up on stage 5 with a fever after being sick all night again.  I talked to our team director Pat on what I should do, and he advised me not to put myself in the hospital, as racing with a fever is reckless.  He compared it to driving an overheated car.  Now keep in mind Pat knows what he’s talking about as he has done almost every pro tour race there is…so needless to say, I took his advise and pulled out.  Sitting in the caravan all day feels horrible. But I guess I can’t really help what happened and I fought it as long as I could, pushing the limits.  When the body has had enough the body has had enough.
