Sports massage

Recovering from the event on Sunday will take a week but it doesn't mean I just laze around!  Yes I did have a long lie, 6.45am but I think I've earned it.  My food intake is up as my body tells me it needs calories and protein - triathlon is a bit like an experiment with your body!  I was starting to flag as the day went on but perhaps it was in anticipation of my appointment with the torturer.  I didn't realise how bad my legs were and in short the sports massage was excruciating.  He told me he was taking it easy but I need to go back next week for part 2 as it really was too sore to complete the session.
So tomorrow I will be back in the pool for 7am and another recovery swim.  The weekend weather forecast isn't good but I will try and ease my legs off with a spin session.  By the middle of next week I will have my training back to normal but with the shift in focus to cycling.  Can't wait but I'll catch up with a bit more sleep before then!
