Juliet has been sick with a little fever and just not feeling very well. She wanted to go to mountain bike practice but still wasn't feeling 100%. Thankfully, Merril went with her and after they unloaded bikes in the parking lot, she told her ride leader that she might throw up during the ride. Then they were separating into tiers and she passed out. She opened her eyes and she was on the ground. Merril went to get the truck and left her with a ride coach, she sat down, and passed out again. Ummmmm, what is happening? So Merril got her in the truck and the coaches gave her some gummies and she couldn't see very well. As they drove away, she felt like she needed to throw up and Merril pulled over. Juliet said she threw up a lot. Merril took her to some of his ambulance friends from rampage and search and rescue and they checked her all out. They gave her a gatorade but said she was the picture of health. Except she was passing out. They said she was probably just sick and needed to rest. This was on Wednesday.
State championships were a few days later. She was supposed to race on Friday but it snowed at the venue in Cedar City. All races were cancelled that day. We were relieved because Juliet needed another day to rest and now she didn't even need to decide whether to ride or stay home. She threw up again that day. On Saturday, she was given the opportunity to race at the end of the day because she's a senior. So even though she was a little weak, we set off for Cedar. It was still cold.
Juliet had a million layers on because she was cold.
She had a chill race.
She said she felt fine when she got off the bike, which is awesome. I was a little concerned she would pass out on her bike, fall and get hurt but she made it without injury. Good job Juliet!
All these boys came to support Juliet. I'm sure they're there to support other people too.
