hi all
i am doing the london tri tomorrow and this morning i woke up with a sequence of sneeezes, body feels 'heavy' and i am not sure it is because of the weights session i did last night, nose area does not feel 'normal' (semi-snuffly, semi-blocked) and paranoia has started registering ...
i am going through a whole bowl of blueberries as we speak but i wonder if there is anything else i can do?
any suggestions anybody? any doctor/triathletes outthere? should i start popping the pills, the lemsips and the echinacea as a prevention measure? all advice much appreciated!
if i will not be able to race because i got a cold the day before will be tragicaly ironic!!!

It doesnt sound like you need to be sitting it out anyway, i did weights two days ago and i feel like iv been hit by a bus. If you got the snuffles it could just be tiredness/fatigue...whyd you do weights so close to the tri anyway?
Either way hope your feeling better for the morra!
i know it's all wrong but if it is a cold then i'd probably do it and accept that i might get it worse and be laid off for a bit longer by it. flu though, i'd not sure i'd risk it for flu...
you can only go on your gut feelings on the day. with any luck it'll a 24h job and you'll feel much better tomow. good luck for the race!
If you think it's that I wouldn't race, whatever I had laid me low for ten days, after the first three I was fine just as long as I didn't do anything but felt like I would faint if I tried exercising...... Still not quite 100%
Hope you're feeling better!
been doing it all, fruits, echinacea, ok haven't done rest yet but it is the next move
temperature is low +-35.5C, no cough, no headache, no serioulsy sore joints, just a general 'low', an unwellness, shivers, the idea of water makes my skin go funny, i can 'feel' my throat but doesnt ache....
anyway, had some homemade chicken soup and off to bed for an early night and some rest..
if i will be like this tomorrow i will give it a go although i wont have in me 100% , however i am hoping for a brand new me....
...time will tell...goodnight all!
