Ok, enough about my first with no training.... now its time to talk about what I've been doing since my recovery week.
Basically, the weeks have been going like this:
Sat: 2-3 mile run
Sun: 40-65 mile bike ride
Mon: rest day
Tues: 45 minutes on the treadmill or 30 mile bike ride
Wed: 10 mile bike to pool, 1 hour swim workout, 10 mile bike back
Thurs: rest
Fri: rest
I did this basically the last two weeks and have pretty much destroyed my legs. At the pool, my calves have cramped up so bad I could hardly walk. The first week it was my right leg, the next was my left. I don't think I was drinking enough water/sports drink. I gave my legs some rest this past weekend (skipped the Sat/Sun run and bike ride) to try and recover.
Overall, running is my weakest discipline so that is where I need to spend the most time.
Next update: Three weeks till second race.
