Dave I watched this from your Strava feed and thought you did fantastically well to hang in there. Great finish. Getting the result must have felt fantastic.

Merry Christmas Paul, glad you're feeling better, I came down with a mild cold over Xmas. Worse was the ear ache I got. I think I've cured it with gargling neat alcohol

Merry Christmas Paul. That doesn’t sound nice! It’s been a bit quiet here as we all recover from Xmas excess/illness/injury but I am expecting things to warm up a bit in the segment thread.

I have had ear ache too! Had to go to chemist Boxing Day where told I had an ear infection. Paid a lot for what amounts to wax removal oil. If I had know I would have tried your remedy Andy
Mine was in the Euston Station tube 
First I tried Vicks vapour rub, which worked temporarily, then head over boiling water with Vicks, much better. Still pain returned. I then googled common cures. Gargling with salt/TCP/alcohol mouth wash helps. It did for me, almost instant relief. The gunk I spat out from gargling indicated where the infection lay

To be honest I was gobsmacked as I was nearly spat out twice before the start of the video. I nearly caved at top of climb as I was on limit and had 4 bpm to 'play' with but I just managed to stay in touch. Fortunately the others were hurting so I was able to get HR under control before the 'sprint'. Only one in group managed over 10 w/kg for 15 secs, so fast was the last +2km. In fact I took 7 secs off my PB from Sprint Banner to Finish :-)

That sounds worse than my man flu, mine started Friday, I managed a zwift ride Saturday afternoon, and felt rubbish on Christmas Eve. I cooked and got through Christmas dinner and spent most of boxing day in bed. Starting to feel better now but will miss the club Waterloo to Basingstoke off road ride tomorrow instead a gentle zwift ride awaits then back out in the real world on Saturday with a few club mates.
I kept my health
But then we've been avoiding anyone with kids so that probably helped 
Count me in. Got a cold our Cristmas eve and had to go to bed early. Seems like a mild cold, thank god. Almost back to normal now.

Is anyone else riding the Maratona on Sunday? Cat B is one lap of the pretzel. Cat C one lap of the Watopia 3 sisters.
I'm in the big smoke Bob, so can't do it. Good opportunity to set a time for the 3 Sisters. I like the 3 Sisters route. Sub 1hr30
