Wife, dog, job, 2nd job, grad school... I've barely touched a bike in the last 7 weeks.

I trained twice last week, rode yesterday, after a winter run-up & 6 omniums/stage races when everything was looking my way, it now doesn't look like my year.

Hold strong, stay the course, who knows where you'll end up.
You'll get through it.
