Wheres Dave?

Dave's in his his bed.

I cycled 40 miles on Tuesday and one Wednesday started feeling tired. I ran 8 miles at 11 minute pace and felt event worse. By the evening I was running a steady 102 fever and this has lasted until Saturday where it dropped to normal, leaving me optimistic I could bike on Sunday or do something! I woke up at 1am with a stonking headache that couldn't be moved. Did I mention I'm alternating every 2 hours during the day between dayQuil (Day time benelyn) and Ibuprofen to keep my fever under control. Both do not interact with each other but Im still at 102!

Still no fever on Sunday but my head was splitting, I went to bed but got pissed off with this approach. So I thought I'd try a 40 mile bike ride, 20 miles with my father in law as I really wanted to show him the trails! Then 20 back by myself. So the weather didn't go as predicted and it hit 90 by noon. Not 3 as predicted! I have to say I was a mess by the turn around and opted to "punt" as they say out here. Kathleen took me home. I am now running another fever of 100, the headache is gone and back to feeling blah.

For the past month the quote has been "my cardiovascular system is willing but the body isn't" now its "my body is willing and cardiovascular is toast"!

Now blah doesn't bother me usually but when you are doing an Ironman in 7 weeks its a bit of a roller coaster ride.
