I'm going to double-down (or would it be double-up) on the day off thing. I feel a little bad about it, but I think it will be okay. I don't want this to become a habit or I may lose my intensity.
Anyway, I will use this opportunity to catch up on some reading. I am just finishing reading Your first Triathlon by Joe Friel. It is a short read, just over 200 pages, with tips and a 12-week training plan for preparing to compete in your first tri. Now I know it's not my first triathlon, but this is a really good book with lots of info I wish I had had when training for my first tri (as well as things that are helpful in my current training). In addition to the standard swim, bike & run chapters, Joe also covers nutrition, strength training and Heart Rate Monitors, among other related topics. Some consider Joe to be America's top tri coach and this book is well worth the read. What better way to spend a day off from tri training, than reading about tri training?
