DOMS

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness - they're here baby!  Yes the legs are feeling a wee bit sore this morning as DOMS have arrived on schedule 2 days after the event.  I have a sports massage booked in on Thursday to get my legs back in good working order so I can start my new training schedule to build more power to tackle the alpine like terrain of Bealach Mor in September on the bike.  Great preparation for Lanza in May 2012.
I will still keep up the swimming but work on improving my technique rather than distance, that will happen nearer the event.  I'll keep my running ticking over making sure I avoid any injury from heavy mileage.  It won't be necessary for Lanza but after May '12 the training will change again for Marathon Des Sables in April '13.
In the meantime I am going to enjoy a few days off training and try and put the 3 pounds of weight I lost back on - curry last night was a good start!
