This will be a quick one
I went to the Boilermaker in hopes of running. It didn't happen. I stayed in the hotel room that morning and Kelly ran it. She did and awesome job. The day was good for running.
After the race, Kelly and I went to an urgent care where I was given two IV's of electrolytes and had some tests done. The conclusion... they believe I have a viral gastro intestinal issue and that I was severely dehydrated.
Now, the next day, I feel SO much better. I'm on a diet of bland foods for the next few days (toast, soup, water). I'll do anything it takes just so I don't have to go through that anymore. This was the worst illness I've had. I must admit, I made some silly mistakes during the duration of the illness (eating fried foods, drinking wine, completing a triathlon, taking the wrong medication) that probably made it worse and prolonged it.
Next on the agenda... volunteering at the Ironman Lake Placid and signing up for next year's Ironman. I'm looking forward to signing up so that it makes it official and I can start planning and working toward that goal.
Next race, maybe the mini-triathlon in Lake Placid on Monday the 21'st. If not, then it's Race the Train in Northville. This is a fun one as well.
Until next time...
