Back in the States and Sick

Posted by Kevin Doak on Tuesday at: 10:29pm (July 5th, 2011)

As I mentioned on my first day in Montreal, I was feeling a little under the weather.  I felt fairly good during the meet, not 100% good, but strong enough to race.  During my last day in Canada I started feeling pretty lethargic and the sinus and headache hit me pretty hard.  I was able to swim in Ann Arbor today with the team but it was very painful.  I wasn't able to put my head more than about a foot under water without it feeling like my head was being crushed in a vice.  I was unable to do any dives due to the sensitivity to pressure.  I felt like a wimp, but I did every yard the other swimmers did, just did it slower.  I gave the coaches a heads up on my condition and they were understanding and accomodating.  I'm glad it's hitting me now instead of Nationals next month, ideal timing really.
