So the title of this entry pretty much says it all! My legs are seriously feeling the pounding from yesterdays race. All that downhill sure results in crazy soreness today. Sean had me scheduled to ride easy for an hour today. So after I finished work tonight I came home and got on the trainer. My legs felt ok while I was riding, sore and super tired but that faded fairly quickly. I stayed on the trainer for an hour, basically just soft pedalled for an hour. Got off hoping maybe, just maybe my legs would feel better after the flush, but nope - no such luck today. But it's time in the saddle and that is important at this stage in the game.
I was/am feeling a little concerned that yesterdays run wasn't what I'd have liked after all that training but it is still fairly early in the training and I keep reminding myself that by the time IMMT gets here I will be ready. I've had several people tell me not to worry - Ironman is different and it will all be fine. So I'm just really trying to focus on that and the training just one day at a time. Clicking off each workout as I do them and really trying to hit them as best as I can. I'm supposed to swim and run tomorrow which I will definitely do - but not sure the run will be all that great - unless my legs loosen up a bit. It may turn out to just be a run just to run kind of thing but the plan is to at least attempt whatever it is that I'm supposed to do.
Alright - I'm still exhausted from the weekend and work today - so this is gonna be a short one.
