Out sick
Our little one has had a nasty cough for a few days, and last night my throat felt like I had swallowed crushed glass. This morning was even worse. I called in sick and went back to bed.. until 11:00. Ran a couple of errands and I'm about to leave the house for a ride because I know that increasing the rate of blood flow tends to speed up my recovery. Probably just mental.. going for a ride always makes me feel better. Question is, should I do the prescribed intervals? I'll play it by ear. If the legs don't want to go, then I'll give them another rest day. I expect to feel better tomorrow morning. I haven't had a cold since late winter, so I think I was due for one.. Better to get it behind me now than during all those crits which I've planned for the coming weeks.

Ride easy Murat. If you wear yourself down, the cold could be prolonged.
No such luck man.. Did 44 miles, 7 intervals that went like this:
30 seconds 200% FT, 3:00 FT, followed by a 30 second sprint all out.. 5 min recovery and repeat.
My throat being sore and swollen didn't help, but wasn't much of a factor. What's really noticable is that the body is fighting infection, and it takes the edge away. Might have worn myself down, but failing to train would have been a bigger downer mentally. The mental side of this battle to become a better racer is harde than the training.
I salute you. Excellent workout!
When I get sick, it wipes me out. Must be because I ruptured and had to remove my spleen at 10 years old. Now colds & flu hit me twice as hard as other people.
Thanks.. Took a rest day today though. No riding at all.. again. I tend to feel stale after a rest day. Go figure. We'll see how it goes at Ninigret tomorrow night.
