After having gotten better last week, I did 3 days of really easy training -and woke up on the 4th morning feeling terrible. I had a sore throat and a blocked nose and just could not believe I was sick again in the space of 2 weeks!

I guess these are the joys of having 7 people in one house, with the virus just doing the rounds within the house. 5 out of the 7 guys here are sick, with me on the mend... It's also impossible to isolate yourself from the sick people, so there's nothing you can do!

Well I hope to ride tomorrow, but in the meantime I'll keep popping Vitalose C vials (1000mg vitamin C and Amino acids) and whatever else I can get my hands on.

Fingers crossed.
