I stopped at my friend Joanne's house at the beginning of my 80 mile ride yesterday to say hi, since she and Jackie were chillin on their patio. She was talking about swimming in a wet suit and how you forget to kick. I thought it was just me, but I definitely noticed this in the Philly race.
I've always thought that running after a bike ride might feel wierd on your legs, but in fact, you actually start running at least as fast because your cardio system is warmed up. Last weekend, Ann mentioned that she experiences the same thing. I did a brick bike/run today, riding 20 miles pretty much all out, followed by a hilly tempo 6 mile run. My legs just didn't feel like they were moving, but in the end, my run times were pretty much what I would have expected if I only did the run and not the bike.
While I read a fair amount on the sport, I don't remember seeing this two things anywhere, so I thought I would share.
