Spring Sickness

I cannot recall a season where I have experienced so much sickness.

First, I had the allergy cold from the lake. Now, I have a stomach flu, which I actually think is giardiasis from the lake.

I guess the moral of the story is to stay out of the lake! But Mama, I want to swim!

What is going on in the world?!?! This ain't right!



I am not scared of snakes, but this is wrong! Just wrong!

I did a brief lake swim this morning. I am still dealing with this cold so I was not able to swim far...

I have never had such a great weekend, while being sick!

On Saturday, I had my first tri of the season! It went okay: HORRIBLE swim, good bike, great run, smooth/fast transitions. I PR-ed on the bike and run. I was very queasy during the swim. My body was rocking one way, my stomach was rocking another way and the lake was rocking a third way! I wanted to quit but decided to suck it up and do it.

After the race, I got to see one of my exes! We are good friends and it was nice catching up with her. I even got some dating advice!

Saturday was my best friend's birthday. I hung out with her on Sunday. We went to see After Earth (she LOVES Will Smith), people watched and had dinner. The movie wasn't as bad as the reviews have been but the accents were HILARIOUS!

Hopefully, the sickness will go away soon. I've had a sore throat since Thursday. Yesterday, the other symptoms appeared: headache, runny nose, sneezing and my favorite...losing of the voice!

This evening, I rode my bike twice around Stone Mountain Park's inner loop (9.73 miles in 47:03). I hit my fastest average speed for that route (12.4 mph) and my fastest speed ever (29.3 mph)!!!
