I decided not to train at all while sick. I’ve spent the past 3 days just sitting around eating, drinking, and sleeping. It seems like yesterday was the worst of it, since I woke up feeling significantly better this morning. If I’m feeling even better after work then I will consider going for an easy ride this evening.
Getting sick is really disappointing when training is going so well and you’re feeling stronger than ever. I had big plans for this week and it takes a good deal of restraint to hold back and stay off the bike. I can definitely see what motivates people to dig themselves deeper by pushing hard when their body is already suffering, but I’m confident that taking time off was the right decision.
I will be sticking with my training plan; next week will be mostly a rest week. I think I’ll do a 10mi TT and attempt to set a PR and achieve this month’s TT goal.
