On wednesday night I rode a 70km RR.
Spent the first 30 mins going flat out in a 6 man break, which was then caught by the pack. It then started to rain very heavily, and was unseasonably cool for this time of year.
The race slowed down in the foul conditions, and I got really cold, especially riding home through the city afterwards in wet gear.
I felt fine yesterday, even went running with my girlfriend....but today my throat is killing.
It interests me that I (and others I know) often feel like sh*t after racing in the rain. Have I caught a virus? Or is it a reaction to getting cold? did i have a virus but not notice the symptoms until the exertion in the cold brought it out?
