how long will it take? who knows, but just stay away from doing anything too hard until it has gone and been gone for a week, if you come back in too soon it will just come back which i guess is what you have been doing? yes you should be able to race this year if you look after yourself properly, if it hangs around for long when your not even training go see a doctor get some drugs and within 2/3 weeks you should be able to get training properly. Last and most important point IMO once you can train start racing, don't have the attitude lots of people do and say 'i'm not ready to race' when in reality you won't know if your ready without trying

I got a virus a couple of years ago around June and it took a couple of months to shake it - i eventually stopped riding as every time i went out i went I went slower & slower.... lost 5 min in a 10 eventually... didn't feel "bad" just not "right"..... HR wouldn't respond properly...
I came back a couple of times too early and i went slow... eventually it came good and i set PBs at the end of the season (Aug/ Sept)
