Mushey Legs

My legs are shot. Today was a swim, bike and run day. Got in a 45 minute swim at lunch and worked on knocking off 300s slow, moderate, and fast efforts. Also mixed in some speedy 50s. Hoping for a good swim this weekend and getting in an open water swim tomorrow.

Got home after work and started my brick workout. Took a ride on a usually hill route and the legs were slow to respond. I had to come out of the saddle for climbs I usually power up in the saddle. Eliminated gatorade from my ride since I just found out that Gatorade and Gu don't mix and might be the reason for the quaky stomach issues I've been having.

Got out quick off the bike to the run. Legs responded but my quads were sore after about 15 minutes in. Kept a steady HR around 155 and was moving at about 7:20 for each mile. My pace was totally fine, I just think my legs are feeling it from this week's tough workouts. No bike or run tomorrow and I get to sleep in until 6 am which is good. I have an open water swim scheduled for right after the work day. Three hour ride on Saturday and then race Sunday.

Summary:

Swim: 45

Distance: 2,400 meters

Bike: 1:10

Avg HR: 148

Avh HR: 155
