This pst weekend I decided to do my second brick.  My first sprint is just over two weeks away.  I road and 1:30 and ran for :30...  Once I started running by back was killing me.  Lower left side.. I thought it was a kidney pain (dehydrated perhaps).  But it got better as I kept running and went away almost immediately after I stopped.  I have been riding in the drops lately.  Is it common for the back to hurt after biking at the start of the run???  What can I do about it...  Usally back is just a little tight after a ride but the run made it terrible...Whay sould I do.. I dont want to suffer the entire run portion of my first sprint....

I did my second brick this weekend as well, almost the exact same as yours. I also had back pain and continued to have a little tightness, pain the next day. I am no expert but I think that my core muscles are just not as strong as they need to be for that length workout. I walked 3 miles the next day and ran today and am feeling better. Just my thoughts and experience for what it is worth.

Never really had a pain like that before...  Good to hear that I am not alone...  Should I add more bricks over the next two weeks..  I was just planning one more...

This weekend I hit it hard.

Saturday: 1:15 bike

Sunday: Brick, (1:30 Bike, :30 run), rest 1 hour, :30 swim

Monday: Run :40


I know for most of you that is nothing.  But I have just been training for about 8 weeks... 

I really want to do well in my first race...  Goal is to beat 1/3 of the field... (good for me

Just this dam back issue....
