Now what?!

I'm training to do my 1st Epic.  All has been going well untill yesterday.  It feels like am about to sick; sore through, runny nose thick head.  Cold symptoms. I dont really feel tired but I don't want to ruin all the hard work I've done.

What do I do 

1.  train like I have been doing the past few months,

2.  train less/lighter; or

3.  don't train at all?

REST and recover completely.

Take 2 days off.

Zink 15mg to get the metabolism up.  Maybe Viral Choice.

 

From there get back on the bike and start getting back to it slowly.

 

But REST is the best medicine now!!!!!!

Don?t train with a sore throat.  If it is streptococcus it may affect your hart so take it easy.   <?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

If you have whole body muscle stiffness it may be a virus and you need to take it easy.  Rather go see a doctor before you stuff up your hart.

Rest, rest and more rest. You will not get unfit in a weeks time.

Thanks all for the advice. Will do the rest thing.  At least I know that my partner(for the Epic) can't train as well.  He broke his frame for the second time and is waiting for a new 1.

What frame is it?
