A good day after

I guess going at 100% intensity for over 90 minutes will take some energy out of you. Last night I was pretty much useless, and not a whole lot better once I woke up this morning. But wake up I did, and in time to get to swimming, where I found a pleasant surprise.

With a number of members prepping for IM Lake Placid, this is the last taper week for them, so we got a nice easy workout today. That works for me, since I can always use more drill work. Nothing too long, nothing too hard (although I did pick up the effort pretty good on the "sprint race" pace sets), talked some race strategy with the coach. Got out of the water feeling really good.

The run this afternoon was a bit stiff, but I didn't bother with the time or effort and just let my legs work themselves out over 2.5 miles.
