Recovery time...

So this week is going to be focused on recovering from the 70.3 race on Sunday.  Yesterday I did a 2k swim and a 60 min spin on the trainer.  Today I just did a 1k open water swim at the quarry.  Still feeling really tired.  My legs are a little sore but they feel completely devoid of energy as supposed to super sore like after a running race.  I am going to try an easy 40 min run tomorrow.
It's kind of funny because I really want to hit training hard right now and really start getting things going. I hate how slow my bike is and I'd really like to get some improvements for the bike.  I know that to do this I'm really going to have to get out and ride a lot in the next couple months. It really bugs me how slow my bike and run portions of the triathlon are.  I was happy with a sizeable PR this past weekend.  But I really want to get my times down.  Luckily now that the school year has ended I should be able to get out and ride a lot more and that hopefully will help my bike split moving forward.
Another thing I've really noticed is that I'm absolutely exhausted - like just want to sleep all day!  I didn't do much today (except get caught up on Game of Thrones) and yet somehow I'm still just completely knackered.  It's so bizarre.
