Subject: Recovery time after Oly
What is the average recovery time after an Oly?  I have sprint tri 6 days later.....will I be close to 100% for the sprint? Or will I still feel the affects from the Oly?

Based on your logs, you should have no issue with the sprint a week later.  Make sure to hit the massage table after the race and focus on refueling and rest the next couple days but otherwise just follow your plan.  By "rest" I am referring to sleep, I personally perfer some light biking or swimming the day after a hard effort as I feel it facilitates recovery.  Others prefer a full day off.  You will be fine for your race whatever you do, however.

i think you might take 1 day off after the race and then do a light week prior to the sprint...
