My 5 Day Covid Experience: Wed - Woke up feeling like someone splashed concentrated acid onto my throat and lungs. Got test kits. Positive.
Thu - My throat/lungs are on fire. Positive.
Fri - My throat/lungs feel much better. I'm tired as hell. I'm sleeping 15hrs a day. Positive.
Sat - I feel much better. I go for a walk where no humans are, but feeling tired. Sleepapalooza. Positive.
Sun - I no longer feel tired. All symptoms are gone. Positive.
Today - Negative!! Twice, just to be sure. Swam 1500m in a gentle 29:45.
I hope I didn't break any rules. I figure 2 days of feeling relatively symptom-free and testing negative means that I'm ok.
I had 4 shots through the pandemic. I cannot imagine what this would be like if I was one of those "freedom" people. Good luck to them is all I can say.
When I wrote this I did not realize that "post-covid" would be a bitch, with waves of fatigue and lung bullshit. But, today saw some signs of life:
400m+200m+100m+50m+25m+15m+15m+15m+400m (7:50, 3:36, 1:36.5, 42, 19, 10, 9.5, 9.5, 7:15).
The 7:15 400m cooldown was very surprising. 7:15 is generally a "push", but today it felt fantastically easy.
I only swim.
I used to run. (31:09 10k)
I never did Triathlon.
Sue me.
