Piggie Recovery Week

Apparently when I'm tired it's like when I'm busy--I don't log in.

Monday: REST.
Tuesday: Lazy 1hr on the bike
Weds: tried to swim, got only 700m in before I just gave up. At 225m I didn't care anymore and just wanted out. CHG encouraged a few kick laps. Was it really 700? Maybe 600? I skipped the run to stay out of the heat, did a lazy hour on the trainer.
Thursday: 56 min run in FP, 6.5 miles, surprised to find I did 8:30's with LC and DC. Felt ok but tired in the run, but then exhausted the rest of the day. So damned tired I could barely function.
Friday: rest

It's sort of a relief to be so tired. It tells me I did all I could in the race. Or does it mean I'm not eating well to recover? Is there something else I can do? I just ate a bunch of fruit after the race. Hours later had protein. Maybe getting so low on fuel and water in race wears on me more, and that's the day.

I've had some more time to think about what happened at the Piggie:
My training is not like my racing. In training rides we stop at the gas station, we wait at the corner, we stop, we wait, we eat. In my races I don't stop and the pace is faster. There's no break or moments of recovery. So now wonder my racing doesn't reflect my training!
