Subject: Tri fever What is about triathlon? I was never involved in sports in high school. I started running for fitness many years ago (like 18) and did a few races but didn't love them. I started triathlons last year and as soon as I finish one I'm planning the next! Maybe because there is so much room for improvement
Anyway, I just finished an aqua/bike for a 1/2 IM yesterday. Loved it, not much for running over 10 miles (body breaks down with injuries) but I wanted the challenge of a longer swim and bike. It was a blast. There is a sprint race on Sunday, I'm wondering if it would be too soon to do another race right after this one. I've done two sprints this spring (April and May). They were both in the rain and my bike leg was not good (I'm a chicken on wet pavement). I'm thinking it's just a sprint so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. My legs are tired from the hard effort yesterday but not really sore. Mostly just my sit bones are tender from the bike seat. Or should I just take it easy this week, there are a couple of sprints close by that I could do in August. We leave for family vacation in about a week so I'm going to have plenty of time to rest. |
