Henri Schoeman brings us to reality.
View this post on Instagram

27 July 2020 was the date I was supposed to race the triathlon at the Olympics. After the postponement of Tokyo 2020, I needed something to work towards, so I set a goal to run a 10km time trial and prove to myself how fast I can be over the distance. Instead of final preparations for the time trial, I found myself fighting COVID 19 and a second coronavirus strain less than 10 months apart. It’s completely different to any cold or flu, you know when you have it. That was my experience at least. In ways it’s similar to my experience from my previous encounter. I’ve been completely out of training and trying to recover. No one is safe from it, despite all our efforts to stay at home, stay sanitized and stay safe, somehow it managed to find us. No matter how young, fit or strong you are, the effects are very real.
