Hate the taper

2 kids with a gastro bug and Kirst feeling fluey. Trying to stay clear of them but got a sore throat and feel a bit achey. Pretty sure it's psychosomatic though. Always get like this when I get psyched up for a race. Ran a slow 6km to Campbell Parade and back with Charlie and Maggie on their bikes. Took about three hours or felt like it.
