I have the Cape Henry Duathlon in Virginia Beach in 2 days and go figure I wake up today with body aches and a sore throat. I have not been getting much sleep and have had a stressful month, however I did decrease my training because of this, so not sure it is due to overtraining..........Ironically last year within a week today, I got the same symptoms (lasted about 3 days).

Does anyone have any quick remedies they swear by to rid this feeling???? I feel like crap!!!! I am downing fluids like it's my job.

Thanks

My secret- well not so secret elixer is- one packet emergenC, a nuun tablet, and an airborne tablet. Gives you all the good stuff you need, a little strong tasting, but not too bad.

It's a sprint distance Du in Virginia...not Worlds. If you are sick...stay home and get better...the trip will smack you down even more...
