Grade: 3
Started with a sore throat, which is the typical harbinger of a common cold for me.
This one hit me worse than usual, I was in bed feeling crummy for the better part of four days. I still wasn't all the way back by a week later, but I dragged myself out to run in the relay at Ratlum. I was diligent about gargling with salt water from the beginning, but it didn't save me.
