After not doing any training for the past 5 days to recover from the Blue Ridge Relay, I am now focused on this Saturday’s triathlon. Most people would not have scheduled a triathlon a week after a race like the BRR, and I wouldn’t have, except I had already signed up for the tri when Alex invited me to run with him in the relay race. Not being someone who likes to waste money, I am doing both!
When I asked Jason Sutton about recovery after the BRR, he told me not to do anything at all for a week and a half or so, then build back slowly. So when I told him I had a race next Saturday, he said, “well, good luck, your probably gonna feel it on the run”
My legs feel about 95% recovered now and I am hoping it won’t be too bad. It is a sprint triathlon with a 750 meter lake swim, 14 mile bike and a 5K run. After the tri, I can then focus on marathon training.

I bet you will do great! I can’t wait to come cheer you on!
You are nuts dude!
Good luck for your tri on the weekend. I would do the same, if I had already registered. Fortunately, I planned on waiting on how I feel after the BRR before signing up for the tri and after battling this knee thing for a couple of weeks, I definitely am okay with the descision not to go ahead and tri on Saturday.
Has your team already picked out another relay?
Thanks everyone! Yeah, Kathrin, luckily I don’t seem to have any issues with the legs, so hopefully tomorrow will go well!
We haven’t picked another relay (except for BRR 2010), but that is awesome you guys are doing another! Good luck with your knee!
