Ever feel like every workout is like running/pedaling/swimming through some thick viscous liquid? Yep, that’s how I’ve felt these past few weeks. My legs constantly feel soft, like I got nothin’ left…sort of like the days after a long race. This morning Mark (run partner) and I agreed that we both have been feeling this way for a while. Ever since the Glass City Marathon, which didn’t go so well, my legs have felt just completely drained. I’m hoping this is just a mental thing (our pace this morning wasn’t slower than normal) that will go away with continued training. I can’t help feel a bit of concern that this is happening right at the beginning of what will hopefully be a good yet sparse racing season.
My first race was going to be the Maumee Bay Tri on June 21st, but I’m seriously considering doing the Flag City Tri the weekend before, just to see if 
I’m really slow right now or if it really is just mental on my part…It’ll be especially interesting as I plan to do the sprint distance if I go, which I haven’t done that distance since the ‘07 season. From what I remember it’s just a pedal-to-the-metal, fast and furious, go as hard as you can for 1 1/2 hrs kinda distance. It may be just what I need.
