I'm three weeks out from doing my first Olympic Tri. I did the same event
last year, but at the Sprint distance. I've built up to about 10 hours a
week, but this past week I felt like I didn't have any energy at all so I
took off Friday and Sunday.
Any suggestions for getting back into the groove?

FYI - I'm following the schedule at
http://www.winningmag.com/training/olympic/index.shtml ( I'm starting week
10; been skipping Fridays)

Recovery run's really help me out a lot, followed by a good stretch
while I am still warm.

I define a recovery run or workout as an easy low-hr workout lasting
30-45 minutes.

During a recovery workout I feel like I should be going harder or
longer, but after the workout I realize that I really needed a recovery
workout. I try to have 2 recovery run workouts a week or 1 in each
discipline.
