Yuck, woke up Wednesday morning with a throbbing headache and a completely plugged up face, geez! I am very good about using a nasal irrigator every night to clean out the pollens and dust that is currently being kicked up by the relentless winds and temperature changes we are experiencing here in the Tri-Cities. But to no avail, went to the Dr and he prescribed 10days of Antibiotics.
Living in this dusty, windy environment makes sinus infections quite common, but I haven't had one for a long time.. years. What a bummer, feeling tired, head throbs, hope it clears up quick cause I have plans to be fresh and spunky April 16.. Sea Otter!
This close to a goal race is definitely bad timing. But what do you do? Get on the med's quick, rest, cut back the ride time and don't push beyond whats comfortable. My bodies use to riding and training, so its OK to ride.. but recovery does have to take place and therefor a lesser load will allow for swifter recovery.
Fortunately I have a coach, and he will guide the training so as to not loose that sharp edge, but absorb as much recovery as possible for a fast response to the med's. It'll work.. the legs are trained and I will be ready!
