Sunday FOTR ride

well we had the biggest group yet for a FOTR ride, 11 in all and for the first time we had 2 persons of the fairer sex join us. we did our usual mandai route and then climbed RRR before coming out of bukit timah and up 2nd avenue. no takers for the 5th Avenue ride though.

After our customary breakfast i noted something wrong when i got out of the shower chattering. on dear, i am coming down with something. the bug really hit me with a sledgehammer. one minute i was well charging up RRR the other minute i have been reduced to a "sick chicken" with myalgia and  headaches . My pores were emitting heat and i was running a 40 degree temperature. After going for a ward round, all i couild do when i got home was lie in bed with chills and rigors. Throughout the day I drifted in and out of sleep; waking up to drink water and take some meds before crashing again. I got up for lunch and dinner and basically slept till 10 am today. it was so bad i did not turn up for work , my first no show since like forever.

I am feeling better now but worry about the bintan triathlon. I should still go but its unlikely i shall be able to train much this week. i should still do the swim and bike route for the fun of it but sit out the run if i am not up to it.
