Cold and Flu !! rhume et grippe !! yeeeurgh

I've been off sick this week - cold and flu symptoms PLUS an allergic reaction to cough syrop, causing my face and eyes to swell ! I look like Robert de Niro in Raging Bull just after his fight against Marcel Cerdan ! I must admit that the rest has done me a lot of good - i've had a back strain over the past few months, that seems to have finally disappeared - after 3 days in bed resting, sleeping, eating and doing NOTHING !
I can't wait to get back to my bike and my new Garmin Edge 750 (gracias esther) !

Thinking of nicer weather !!
Vivement les beaux jours !! :

J'ai été malade cette semaine avec des symptomes de grippe et de rhume, et avec une réaction allergique à un sirop pour toux, me donnant un faux air de De Niro dans "Raging Bull", après son match contre Marcel Cerdan! Mais je dois dire que le repos forcé m'a fait beaucoup de bien - j'ai eu mal au dos depuis quelques mois, et après 3 jours au lit, à RIEN faire, ca a l'air d'avoir disparu !
J'ai hâte de retrouver mon vélo et mon nouveau jouet - Garmin Edge 750 (gracias esther !!).

Bonne Année à tous et à toutes !
Happy New Year to all !

13 Oct Tuesday - rest - final week is doing less.... a Japanese just gave me words of advice - "haste is taboo". Il ne faut pas sur-entrainer....

Oct 12 Monday - 1hr vélo, suivi 40 mins à pied (30 intense, 10 au calme) - très bonne sensation!! 1hr cycling, followed by 40mins running (30 intense, 10 recovery) - good feeling as i managed to get some speed up!!

11 Oct Sunday - rest day - repos - got up at 12h and lazed around all day! me suis levé à midi pour passer la journée à rien faire!!!

Oct 10 Saturday - 36km vélo - petite sortie, sans effort et un peu fatigué - bcp de vent... short 36km cycle, a bit tired, windy!

Oct 5 Monday - day off - raining, windy and cold! Il fait vraiment pas beau - je reste à la maison!!

Oct 4 Sunday - 1h10 run - still hard to breathe correctly, but with 5 days worth of antibiotic in me i suppose it's normal. Took 30 minutes to cough up my lungs before even feeling like i could breathe. Still, a relatively good session - felt quite strong physically. Respiration difficile, mais avec 5 jours d'antibiotic dans moi, c'est normal - au bout de 30mins, je me suis senti à peu près bien - relativement bonne sortie!

Oct 3 Saturday - Working today but managed a lunchtime 1 hour swim - variety of exercises - good!!! 1 hr pendant l'heure du déjeuner - variété d'exercises - bien!!

Oct 2 Friday - back in the pool - 1500m swim, and 30-min run on the track - breathing still difficult, but feeling good physically. Retour dans l'eau - 1500m natation suivi de 30mins course à pied sur piste - difficulté à respirer, mais je me sens bien quand même...

Oct 1 - Thursday - back on my feet!! 1h15 jog around the forest! difficulty breathing, but good all the same! Le retour - 1h15 en fôret, réspiration difficile, mais bien quand même!!

29 & 30 Sept - sinusite déclaré - une semaine sans entrainement ) le désastre... a week without training is disastrous with just less than 3 weeks before the tri.

25 Sept - Friday - chui malade - gros rhube!!! au lit!!! ill in bed with a cold -greeeeeeaat!!

24 Sept - Thursday - 1.5 hours vélo. I'd programmed 2hours but wasted half an hour faffing about looking for shoes, hat, phone.... still, some good straight line sprinting (i hate this exercise, even running, so even less on a bike). Prévu 2hrs, perdu 30 m a cherché chaussures, casque, phone - mais des bonnes lignes droites (ce que j'aime le moins, même en courant, donc encore moins en vélo) en vitesse... c'est bieng marting!!

Sept 22/23 - Tues/Wednesday - RESTING!! Repos! juste quelques longeurs à la piscine - avec léa et yanis!!

Sept 21 - Monday - 50 mins swim. A lunchtime well spent - high quality session, though short!

Sept 20 - Sunday - 1H30 à pied - run. Nice cool morning, and i only intended a short jog.... but felt good, and enjoyed running up the hills around Esther's!!
