Is Floyd Landis poisoning my water?

I'm sure anybody who watches or listens to any kind of sports commentary has heard about the issue with Floyd Landis. I've come down with some mysterious illness (sent me home from work today so you know it's serious), and I have not ruled out Floyd Landis as a cause.

Just conjecture, but he may have read my blog and caught the bit about my not-too-awful performance at the Tour of Colts Neck. While I'm still low in the categories, he assessed my threat and didn't want me to challenge his already challenged career.

Ever since then, he may (or may not have) been micro-dosing my water with some poison until he accidently slipped up. A little too strong and now I am noticeably sick. I haven't heard anything from the press but his lack of respect for fellow cyclists doesn't put this kind of behavior past him.

Certainly nobody will be donating to his "I Didn't Try to Poison Arthur" foundation this time around.

Sagan!

Really happy for Sagan. Seeing a 20 year old cyclist win 2 consecutive stages in the Tour of California is somehow both disheartening and inspiring... I'm starting to feel old. He ranks 3rd on the GC right now and I hope he wins this tour.

Giro has also had some crazy stages recently. Been waking up at 9 every morning to catch Universal Sport's live broadcast, then reading the VeloNews streaming text updates for the ToC. Healthy diet of cycling and work.

Oh, and how about me? I'm doing just fine. My condition is definitely improving without weening for races every Sunday. Hoping to have a solid NJ State Road Race in June. Seeing riders like Sagan winning stages inspires me to push a little harder when on the bike.
