Well, first of all: I’m very satisfied with my 3rd place at Challenge Walchsee \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

It was a cold day for all of us and I had a progressive race…weak swim, good bike and strong run!<\/p>\n

This time I want to write something about what happened to me the last days before the race: coming from a hard training period (Hawaii preparation) on Tuesday morning I did a high intensity anaerobic running workout, well above my threshold! everything went fine….<\/p>\n

Tuesday afternoon I felt very tired, even did a nap on 5pm!! and had problems leaving the sofa for an appointment! wednesday morning, after a 8 h sleep, I was terrified looking at the mirror, my eyes had big dark circles and I felt like hit by a tractor (we have a lot around this time, us there is apple picking season….), I did what I had to do, a bike training and a swim afterwards, but struggling more as usual!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thursday was departure day…direction Walchsee, which is only a 2,5 h drive! after a good lunch in the afternoon I did 1 loop of the race bike course… at a very slow pace….and in the evening a jog around the lake, which is a 5km loop (we had to do 4 on race day)…and I felt exaggeratedly tired! and…there were still this dark circles around my eyes! I went to bed at 8:30pm and slept till 7:30 friday morning!!!<\/p>\n

So, this was a point where I decided to change completely my preparation for the last 2 days prior the race: sleep as much as I can, eat well and a lot (also a lot of good protein) and the most important: increase my daily Biestmilch<\/a> intake from 900mg to 3 x 900mg a day! I even drank a 125ml solution in less than 12 hours!<\/p>\n

So, no training for 2 days (friday and saturday, usually saturday I like to move a little bit in 1 or 2 disciplines..), hoping to recover in time for race day!<\/div>\n

Well, I started to feel better saturday morning and on sunday morning I felt well \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

What happend? it’s well known, that after high intensity workouts or an accumulation of a lot of training hours, the immune defenses can decrease! it’s also well known, that it can take 1-3 days to recover from this situation (which can also turn into real overtraining, if we go on ignoring it…)<\/div>\n

I think my experience over more than 10 years into triathlon, did help to keep me clear-headed and acting well right before the race!<\/p>\n

What signs of immune deficiency and potential overtraining did you experience?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
