I did. Did a perfectly easy 90km on Monday last week then did 280km on Saturday with pals at a relatively relaxed pace. The next day I come down with a cold.
Maybe I'll try carrying round some hand sanitiser.

You must be suceptable to illness, which means your immune system is run down. I'd be going to the doctor and get them to check you.

Either or.
You're body is under too much stress, which will make you more susceptible to ilnesss.
Plus keep your hands clean, try to stay away from ill people.
Having just had a week off you should be feeling good and well recovered. Do you?
