Christian - I feel for you, man. I'm glad you're on the mend. I got it too the day before a race event at Willow Springs, last Wednesday. Nothing keeps me down - if I get sick, I sweat it out on my road bike, weights or the treadmill, but damn if this one wasn't the worst flu I've had in years. I'd be talking to my kid and "pow" fall asleep right in front of her. It was weird. I finally gave in, because I was about to O.D. on allergy medicine - which I first thought this was - allergies. I ended up spending two days basically in bed, sleeping ten hours at a time; this when I'm usually a five hour a night sleeper. I just had to give in to it. I've seen too many people get pneumonia simply because they won't allow themselves to rest - that's when things get real bad.
