Actually, here in Los Angeles (ok, 20 miles north of Los Angeles), more people have been sick that in the last few years. I myself, had a serious flu and cold first week of the year that sidelined me. Then kids have it, and it is a circle effect. It is also because it has rained more in the last month than it did all of last year. Something about the cold (ok, 40 degrees F), and rain that does it...
But as long as everyone is good for the Ironman Pro & Fit Expo, this weekend, it is good. For the next 6 days, it is projected to be nice and sunny, with the high temperate in Los Angeles about 70-80 degrees F.
