Walking Like a 70 year old

I have been walking like a 70 year old man for the past 2 days. The stiffness and soreness from the 1/2 marathon was pretty severe. Travel from Moab to Orange County on Sunday and from Orange County to Denver on Monday prevented me from doing much walking or stretching. It was nice to be back in the water Tuesday morning and be able to walk somewhat normally again.

The workout:
1500 warmup:
500 yards alternating free and back by 100
400 yards (alternating 50 back fly kick, 50 free)
300 yards (3 x 100 IMs)
200 yards (alternating 25 Fast, 25 EZ)
100 yard of drill

1500 main set (30 x 50 yards):
5 x (5 x 50 Fast, 1 x 50 Easy on 1:00)

Pull Set with first length a single breath per length:
2 X (25, 50, 75, 100, 75, 50, 25 yards)

200 Warm Down

Total Yards= 3,800

Legs were feeling much better after work and so I spent 30-40 minutes spinning (exercise bike) in the hotel. I'm little worried about the bike portion of my upcoming 1/2 ironman.

Sorry about the soreness, Chris! I was thinking about your long travels after the run. KC and I are almost back to normal and it feels so good! Hope we can join you in another run soon.
