sick? now?

guest — Fri, 27 Jul 2012 20:23:25 GMT

I am running my first full marathon this weekend, and i'm getting a cold. I've got the sniffles, sore throat, headaches, fatigue, but luckily no chest congestion or cough. I've been taking zinc for the past 2 days, but wanted to see if there who else has had to deal with this right before a huge race, and what they've done for it. Obviously rest, fluids, vitamins....but I want to know if there's anything extra you've done that has helped.

Thanks for any input!

I’ve been running only for years now, and am looking to moveinto tri’s now. I’ve been reading up,but still have questions. I don’t knowwhat gear is nice to have, or must have (wetsuits, bike suits, runninggear????). how exactly do the transitionareas work – I leave my bike and gear at the first transition, but do I leaveall my running gear at that transition, and take it with me to the next one, ordo put my running gear at the second transition and pick it up there when I leavemy bike and running gear? And then atthe end of the race do I go back to the two transition areas and pick my stuffup, or is it all moved to the finish line to get picked up there? If anyone has advice ad info for atri-newbie, I would appreciate it!!
