Nasty Virus....Beware!

Training and racing was going pretty well until a few weeks ago when a virus knocked me out of commission.

Apparently this thing is going around to stay away from sick folks unless you want to get it too. And trust me, you don't. Unless you like having a sore throat for over a week, constant coughing fits, sore eyes, sore muscles, chills, lack of sleep because the coughing fits, etc., and that;s not even the nasty stuff. I've never experienced anything on this level. There was only one positive, I lost 5 lbs in one week with zero exercise.

After doing nothing for over one week, I decided to try a race on Sunday too see how bad it was and it was confirmed. I was weak as can be. Ok running but the slowest biking ever. I have done nothing since. Not the greatest preparation for the next ironman race but you only can do what you can.

I do have some cool news coming and here's a hint.
