    More than likely the food after it than the river I'd say. It's definitely not weil's disease anyway, that takes around 7 days to show it's symptoms. I feel great, best I have ever felt after any race, body is bit tired but that's more to do with few early mornings than the race. I didn't have any of the food provided after the race, any of you sick people have it??

    In retrospect I felt a bit clammy the day before the DCT, so I guess racing/standing in the rain brought something to a head last night. Just curious about others reactions too, but I don't want to scaremonger about the water quality (which was tested and passed, and anything nasty like Weils wouldn't manifest symptoms so early).

    I had this last year. Managed the drive to work on Monday morning, vomited over an air conditioning unit as soon as I got out and then the real fun started.
    Swiftcare said it wasn't Weil's (as noted above, too soon to present) but possible to have just picked up something less serious. Lost a lot of weight over the week but generally put it down to swimming slowly (not something you suffer from) in the bits of the river reserved for rats and this lad

    I had the vegi option not the chili. Watched them in the kitchen prep the chilli and they used all precautions as recommended, when I peaked in they had the thermometers in checking temperature.

    So do I. I was at a wedding over the weekend but I work near the Liffey. Could that be the connection?

    Bacteria in Loughrea usually hand me a sinus infection and often hear of upset tummys after swims sessions there. Lot of farm land around there and lots of slurry spread in the summer. Also after heavy rain Galway Bay was shut down due to ecoli in the water (no reflection on the boards user ;) ) again, surprise, surprise only a few weeks after slurry season.

    Lots of parallels to be drawn. Freshwater, downstream, farmland, slurry, rain, sickness....

    Something is in water alright, been sick for a week now since last OW swim and lost loads of weight, weight I didn't have to loose unfortunately. Blood tests should be back anyday now to find out what the heck it is

    Yeah people from the club who did the race in same position. The chill would not have you feeling like that - it's the water. I was out running in that rain and then standing around afterwards and I'm not sick (with my immune system that's really saying something!)

    As someone who has had Weils disease...

    Usually you will get ill a day or so after then start feeling fine. It then tales a couple of weeks to incubate in your body before you start getting symptoms. For me this started as a temperature, then a fever and then I was hallucinating.

    It was only when the carabinieri turned up with a gun, and I thought I must have done something wrong, did I finally admit I was probably ill (I was in Italy and he was accompanying the doctor who had been fetched after I started talking nonsense). Antibiotics cleared it up.

    First thing I did and always do after this is a tin of coke. Apparently has to be a tin. Haven't done it in a few years but defo cleaner than in previous years. So far no reaction from it apart from sore legs but that was trying to keep up on the bike.
