OK, I know this is very subjective but I'd still like to hear some opinions. I know I'll find out alot also as my traing progresses and I do an half ironman.
I just started doing tri's this year. I've done five sprints and one international distance. Next year I want to do more Olympic lengths and one half ironman. The following year I hope to do my first full ironman. I'd like to make it a family vacation and do my first at the Germany Ironman. Now, my question.
How long after a ironman do you need to recover to just walk around and site see? I'm not worrying about getting back to training so soon but I'd like to know how it may effect the vacation. We do have friends living in Germany where I could go and just lay around for a day. I just don't want to have to lay around for several days.
For reference I'm male, 35 and I seem to recover from hard efforts fairly well. The day after my sprints and international distance I was a little sore but I can still go out and ride or run.
Thanks.
