Right now I feel totally recoverd from all my workouts. In the upcoming weeks I have some very challenging workouts lined up, but at the same time more easy days (just swimming) than I would normally schedule myself. The best part about having a coach is that I just get to sit back, do the work, and let someone else worry about the details. Of course I will not follow along blindly. It's defintely important to let the coach now how you are recovering and how you are feeling.
I have also been surfing a lot. I have surfed the last 4 days in a row, which wouldn't have been a big deal before I started training for triathlon. I am planning on getting in the water a lot more. Nothing is more relaxing than getting the water for a couple of hours with my friends and getting some waves.
I also made it through the weekend without comsuming too much junk food and beer. It was good to get to have a relaxing weekend bbq'ing with friends and relaxing (no racing).

Gonna be hard with no junk food as A races approaches. I sure love that beer and/or ice cream in these hot days.
Way to go for eating healthy over the holiday weekend. More than I can say...
Water and bbq...yeah...that's the recipe for the perfect weekend.
