Just curious? I did swallow couple of "gulps’ but not much now in bed last 2 days with flu like symptoms. Could be total coinsidence but was wondering if anyone else feeling sick also.
Yeah, I have a sore throat and I am very congested. I cant link it directly to the swim, but a 3 day incubation period sounds about right to have picked up something. Hope you feel better.
Taxing your body over an extended period can buy you a winning cold/flu ticket anytime. Could be simply that your body was more susceptible to catch any ‘bug’ after/during your race, not that the water was bad. I’ve gotten bad colds days after starting back into a gym routine, or after a weekend of long rides. Best bet is to preempt the whole affair with some immune boosters. I’d try taking some Astragalus Root or Yin Chao before and after next race.
