Veteran  235  |  Subject: 48 hrs to race and...I am getting sick. Not nerves, I am actually catching something. My daughter and son went down with fevers on Tues. and Thurs. My wife had a fever yesterday. I woke up this morning with a pretty good sore throat and head congestion. Sunday is my "a" race an oly. While doing a 4 month BT plan I might have missed 2or3 training sessions total. I know this isn't the end of the world but it looks like I will be racing with a cold or worse have to bail if I catch this fever my family has come down with. Just frustrated and wanted to vent. I really put a lot into this season. I skipped what was supposed to be my last bike/run yesterday because I wasn't feeling great and am paranoid with every ache and pain I am getting. Maybe it has to do with the tapering. Hoping for the best. Maybe these emoticons will help

Extreme Veteran 534 Herriman, Utah | Subject: RE: 48 hrs to race and... Hot Water 3-4 tbsp- Apple Cider Vinegar 3-4 tbsp -Lemon Juice 3-4 or to taste tbsp-Honey 1 tbsp or to taste-Sugar It's not the best tasting but it calms that sore throat down. I x2 the sleep and drinking as much water as you can possibly stand.

Veteran 245 | Subject: RE: 48 hrs to race and... I was in your shoes a couple of weeks ago for my "A" race....as all have mentioned, lots of rest and fluids. What ever you do....get your butt to the start....everything will change once you are in the water and you are in race mode. All the trianing and effort to get yourself to the start will take over and by the time you are thru the swim, it will be nothing more than faded annoyance. Rock it like you can......oh and have fun to. |

Regular 88 | Subject: RE: 48 hrs to race and... TONS AND TONS of multivitamins. About 4x daily dose.
And tons of sleep.
This usually helps me kick it in about 48 hrs |

Member 73 | Subject: RE: 48 hrs to race and... Glad to hear you made it!! Was going to add in addition to the sleep, sleep and sleep (true 'dat) to take a mild anti inflammatory (like ibuprofen) prophylactically. But am happy to see you didn't need it! Nurse Noa |

Veteran 235 | Subject: RE: 48 hrs to race and... I tried to sleep, drank a ton of water, vit C, advil, and a probiotic. Not what helped but it made me feel better that I was trying to do something. Tried to stay positive but have to admit impending doom was the best I could do. Still had a cold by start time but don't think it affected performance much. |
