I recieved an e-mail from a fellow endurance athlete today. This "person" was peaking for World's in BC, but will be unable to compete do to a mystery illness. This "person" is pretty bummed and wants to stay on the down low, so I will not mention his/her name. The bad thing is this "person" had a really good shot at the podium. Here is the info that was passed on...
It's called Mysterious Mono. Yep, you read that right. It takes its toll on endurance atheletes in the 20-30 age group range. Here is some more indepth info. Please read. It is pretty important. If this of interest to you...you will click on the link above. Keep in mind, that this pertains to all enduro feaks...runners, swimmers, Tri-freaks, etc.
Happy Training, and get well soon to the person who gave me the heads up.
