I didn't realize how hard it would be to recover from the Ironman and get ready for the shorter race season.
With TNT coming up, I am trying to get back in shape to be FAST after all the long, slow distances of the Ironman...but I am having trouble because I am still TIRED! I don't know if it is the heat, the let-down after all the build-up to CDA Ironman, or just the beating I took during the event, but I am (at best) sluggish. I have done a few spins and runs, and have been in the water a good bit since the 22 June event - but I can't say I've had a really good workout since the race.
Tonight I'll do about 6 on the trail, and will ride tomorrow. Culpepper is coming up (3 August) and I was hoping for a great time - given all my Ironman training. Any advice on getting my mojo back would be welcomed!
