bad luck

Sometimes things happen that you can't control. My indoor season went very well and I felt like I was in good enough shape to compete in the nationals (pentathlon). Unfortunately last week I caught the flew. I had to stay in bed for several days and sunday I thought I was finally getting better. My temperature was ok again and I took some extra days recovery before I started training again. And although I never stopped coughing, I felt good enough to train again.

Wednesday I did a good hurdles session and I really felt like competing again. but on the way back home I started to feel ill again. My temperature raised and I started to sweat 1 minute and I felt extremely cold the next minute.

The next morning I went to the doctor, because for me it took way to long before I recovered. The docter told me I caught an infection when I was ill. She gave me anti-biotics and I had to rest for a couple of days.

All of this meant I have to withdrawn from the National Championships next weekend.
I'm pretty sad I can't compete in a multi events competition, because that is what I have been training for all this time. But my health is more important and I hope I will get better soon.
If I will compete again this winter depends on my health.
