Thanks, will check it out.

 

I developed a URTI the latter half of last week, another weekend in bed, feeling like ****.

 

Clearly something amiss with my immune system. A couple of years ago, I had to get B complex injection every week for 6 weeks to get myself out of similar scenario.

Bronchitis, three weeks from the Amashova. FML. I do seem to be recovering faster than my wife, who has been on antibiotics for three days with bronchitis and laryngitis.

 

Will see what the doc says tomorrow, but if it looks like it won't clear up in time I will probably just leave the bike at home and have a mini holiday.

Finally sick. Just a headcold.

 

Had such a good run.

 

I attribute it to the body being run down from stress of resigning (HR issues in terms of notice period etc) and changing jobs. Plus carried on training while I was feeling down so I probably contributed to it myself.

Finally feeling like myself again. After 5 days off the bike and in bed.

 

Not entirely sure what I had to be honest. Symptoms include a sore throat, blocked nose, light cough, no energy, feeling tired and feeling tired the whole time.

 

Maybe a virus? But my body/muscles was luckily not sore at all.

 

To make matters worse, last Thursday I woke up realising I got pink eyes. Fortunately, it only lasted for two days.

 

Went for a 10km ride yesterday and still felt very weak... The power numbers spoke for itself.

 

Commuted this morning and definitely felt much stronger.

Sounds like the standard adenovirus. 

 

Adenoviruses are a group of viruses that can infect the membranes (tissue linings) of the respiratory tract, eyes, intestines, urinary tract, and nervous system. They account for about 10% of fever-related illnesses and acute respiratory infections in kids and are a frequent cause of diarrhea

I'm almost back to normal. Can feel the fever slowly leaving my face.

 

Didn't have any body issues. All just neck and up. Sore throat (wasn't crazy sore but sucked in the mornings), lots of snot and some gunk to cough up. That's it. This one was very "slow" onset. Usually I feel super k#k for a week then the 2nd week I start turning for the better. This time it started very slowly and bled over into the 2nd week. By Thursday I should be good. Cycled to work and back yesterday (25km round trip) and felt good, just face was still a bit feverish.

Ok well, have done quite a few hardish trail runs since the post above. If I was going to relapse I probably would have. Still not 100s but I think its just what it is now. Life carries on.

Winter is fast approaching.

 

Once it's here properly it's fine because I will wrap up with layers to ride - the dangerous period is now. It's warm enough to ride in summer kit but if the weather changes quickly or if you are still out as the sun starts to set, you can so easily get a "sweat -chill" while on a long downhill.

With 947 fast approaching next week starts my caution phase where i wash my hands excessively, avoid shaking hands and where possible people, particularly those that look and sound dodgy with sniffles and coughs.

Just got medical all clear to ride again after a 6 and a half week layoff with a primary glandular fever infection (at my old age to get kissing disease!!!!) that attacked and inflamed my liver.

 

Missed one tonner, had to pull out of DC ... first ride tomorrow....
