Thanks for the concern guys, but I'm sure I'm fine. I'm sneezing too -- it must be allergies. I've had the cough less than a week, not long enough to warrant any worries. I'm just nervous about having the mental toughness to get through that distance feeling anything less than 100% -- biking when a bit under the weather is one thing I don't have a lot of experience doing. Typically I'm a little bit of a wuss. But like I said, its been a long year and I really need this accomplishment.
