I was off work earlier in the week as I’d been sick a couple of times and felt generally quite ill. I soon felt better though, just a bit run-down perhaps. I was barfing my guts up all night and feeling pretty horrendous by Thursday night though, so maybe I was more than just run down. I went to work yesterday and left at 10:30 after I almost passed out. I got home, went straight to bed and got up 22 hours later feeling much better.

I won’t be doing the cyclocross race in Waterfoot this afternoon as I still feel pretty weak but I’m still planning to do the sportive in the Lakes tomorrow, where black ice will no doubt be a feature.
