First allow me to say that I've found another totally great Triathlon blog that simultaneously motivates me and makes me feel like an absolute looser! The Adventures of TriSaraTops is a fantastic read. Loved every second.
Second, being sick sucks. Really sucks. I knew it was coming after my 25 mi bike last weekend, and my throat felt dry. The kind that I couldn't quite get, no matter how much water I poured down. I should have known and started taking mad Vit C, zinc, etc... just from past experience, but stupid me, didn't do it. Monday, mucus was belching from my nostrils, and I absolutely went crazy with the sinus rinse hoping in vain to head off the inevitable. Sorta kinda worked... the nose thing pretty much stopped, but the cough thing, just beginning. So from pretty much Wednesday until today, I've been coughing up lung after lung and trying to take it easy. Unfortunately that meant no bike, run, swim, or even a smidge of weightlifting. Nope. Just me and the meds.
Last night I finally said the hell with it and rode my bike into work. Normally EZ, it kicked my butt! I was a good 1-2 mph slower than normal and felt terrible for it. Thats what I get for taking a week off. Taime to play catch up.
