I did a tri in early August and got sick immediately after. Did the antibiotics, rest, etc, felt better, then got sick again. What that told me was that my body needs time to recover and my immune system was severely depressed. BTW, I was SO glad to stop swimming for a while. Give yourself a break, a chance to recover physically and mentally. And then get after it again. It's been my experience that even during training, sometimes you need to take extra rest to make sure you don't over train and to keep excited about doing the tri.

Soon I am going to post a question about how to prevent the immune suppression thing.......
