I'm feeling it in my legs today after a 4 hour ride round by Barton, Winterton and Gainsborough on Saturday, then my own mini-triathlon yesterday.
Saturday's ride was probably a bit too much given Sunday's planned 'private' triathlon, but a bit of stress is not a bad thing at this stage of the training. 8 weeks to go as yesterday.
I got the usual sore bits, but not enough to put me off Sunday's plan.
Sunday saw me at Activities Away lake for a 3 lap (2.4k) swim, followed by a 56 mile bike skirting round Lincoln, then a 9 mile run. The original plan was aiming more towards a half marathon to finish, but with the heat and forgetting to take my water bottle, 9 miles was probably about right. As it was, my dodgy knee didn't last too long before it needed some attention so that put me off doing any more anyway.
Funnily enough, I find that the more I stretch out my stride, the less the knee hurts..... but, the more I get tired so not really an option unless I go for a run/walk/run strategy. I guess it's always an option on the day.
It's a rest day today (Monday), the first one I'm taking for a month.
