Sick, Cold

2008-11-23 – 2008-11-29

Grade: 3

This started yesterday (Saturday)
Stuffy nose and blocked sinuses today and a moderate sore throat.
sore throat worse on the Monday and now have a tickly cough too.
By Tuesday the aching and dizziness had abated, just very congested and a nasty cough.
By Friday evening (29th) I am feeling almost normal again, my head is clear and I've stopped coughing. Ready to start training again tomorrow will start off with a short ride on my Intense to check it over now its fully rideable again prior to next weekends Open 5 then maybe a run on Sunday.

Nothing was ultimately going to help this more than time and rest. It was useful to keep cycling to the station every day to gauge how i was feeling without over-exerting myself. When I was able to cycle back up the hill tonight at a good pace with no discomfort I knew I was ready to start training again.
