5 days from race day and full of cold!

Feeling a bit low and sorry for myself today, Because as from yesterday evening I have a cold. I'm blaming one of my patients for the germs!!! Hoping that forced rest from training today, will help my body recover for Sunday - due to be racing Cowman Half Ironman. Also hoping it will go as quick as it arrived. I had no pre-cold warning signs. No headaches, bunged up nose, sneezing nothing! 30 mins after yesterdays evening steady run (comfortably hold 7:20 min/miles - feeling very good and confident about form) standing in Waitrose - nose started streaming.

Did contemplate a short sea swim to clear my nose out, but riding home from work was an effort. Could hardly breath when doing yoga.

Having said that i'm feeling a bit sorry for myself, not going to stress too much as what happens happens. Midweek out from Ironman Florida came down with cold (breathing recycled cabin air) and had a good race there. Next post will be cowman race report.
