Monday, July 12, 2004 OutbreakI've been reading about disease in the O' news the last week or so.Peter Gagarin wrote about his first day at the World Masters: Talk about a day that wasn't fun. Woke up in the middle of the night feeling bad, then throwing up, then just feeling awful. No breakfast, managed to drink just a little water before the start....After I finished I felt so bad I just wanted to lie down under the table where they were downloading times. Staggered off to the car, slowly drank a little, lay on the ground shaking and panting for about an hour while first Randy and then Gail tried to take care of me, and then threw up everything all the way back to the first course for dinner last night. At that point Gail suggested we head off to the first aid tent to see if an IV was possible. It was, and after an hour there I felt a touch more human, and now a couple of hours later some more fluids and a little bit to eat are staying down, so there is hope for tomorrow. I can't be sure, but it sounds to me like a Norovirus. Mats Troeng, at the European Champs, is also suffering, though it doesn't sound like a Norovirus. He woke up in the middle of the night with a sore throat. In the morning he still had it. He diagnosed it as a common cold. Troeng will skip the middle distance race and hope he's recovered in time for long distance final on Friday. He wrote (joking, I hope!): Why not have a little extra contact with runners from other nations? posted by Michael | 8:32 PM
