Race Day 2

November 4
Day 2
Rolling hills all in the 12,000 range
20 miles to Molle

I still couldn't breath. I was out of breath trying to go up the hill for breakfast. I wasn't very social and face was yellow. I was coughing all the time and was very sick. I tried to eat and drank water. I knew that I had to see the doctor on staff.

I asked him to take my resting heart rate. IT WAS 101 when it normally is in the 70ies. I knew that was out of control. I did try to think positive on the situation. I told him about the chest pains and heaviness in the chest. My roommates told me that I sighed in my sleep....I think it was due to the pain, I was in.

The doctor suggested that I walk for the day and gave me an antibiotic. He listened intensely to my lunges and said it wasn't mountain sickness and to drink a lot of water. He also said I looked dehydrated and noticed the blackness under my eyes.

Today is to be a long day.
