The last week, I've been back on the bike. Other than the swimming, this has been the extent of my exercise. (Also should be included is the near-constant jaw movement of all the eating I'm doing. I think that's my favourite part of the two-week post-marathon recovery period.) The goal has been to spend some time in the saddle, getting used to the aero position, and just spin out in zones 1 and 2.
After the ride tonight, I double-checked my resource book, The Perfect Distance to make sure my zones were appropriate. As it turns out, I've been riding in zones 0-1. No wonder I barely break a sweat. I'm assuming that the first "real" ride on Saturday, 90 minutes zone 2-3, will be quite a shock to the system. I'm looking forward to it.
Bike: 45 minutes, zone 1
