Week 18 Day 5&6


Am on the antibiotics and my condition remains stable. Which means I feel weak, slightly feverish and still have a slight pain in my phalynx (back of throat) and in my inner ear. There the pain is more than just slight.

It is now 9 days without training.

I can actually see how the Ironman is changing. It is changing for me from a race with a deadline, to a race of mere survival, of sheer determination (which will be required more and more over what is increasingly a lowering in my level of fitness). Already I feel a bit chubbier than last week, although I have been fairly careful to eat moderately, and have had very little alcohol to drink.

Am hoping I am fit to resume some kind of training on Monday.
