Sick

On another note, I couldn't post the tri results yesterday because I was sick/sleeping. Somehow I caught a cold or something right after the race because I had a sore throat and stuffed-up nose by early afternoon. Some research postulates that intense exercise can weaken the immune system and make the athlete more susceptible to illness. (And for me getting 3 hours of sleep Saturday night certainly didn't help.) Luckily, after a nap Sunday afternoon and a good sleep last night, combined with taking the day off (workout-wise, duty called in the office), I feel much better already.
