| KingTim | 4 days | Once again caused by lack of sufficient sleep while training hard and playing hard. Getting up at 06.30 as I do requires me to be in bed by 22.30 which I really struggle to achieve. Need to make more effort to get to bed on time. | details |

| Cristina | 5 days | Sarted 6 days after Mike's wedding, maybe I picked it up from one of those hooligans! Went for a long run the next day even though I was not really up for it - tired from the party, not well hydrated. Immune system down a bit because of that? In any case, only a bad cold for 3 days or so, not really a problem. | details |

| Andrew | 6 days | Pretty obvious cause... late night partying. Felt fairly fit despite it though, but rested anyway. Standard problem of phlegm dripping down the back of my throat while sleeping trying to cause a lung infection... Have decided that taking cough medicine during a cold is mandatory to help avoid this kind of problem.We will see if I managed to avoid the sinus infection which I usually get after colds. | details |
