Recovery??

When you feel ready, go. I like to get back to swimming first, then biking, and then running. Seems easiest on the body. I like to take a day off if I raced really hard and feel sore.

Depends.  I never need recovery time after a sprint.  Usually none after an Oly either.  Really, just listen to your body.  If you need rest, rest.  If you feel good, keep on truckin'.

I really dont feel like I need to rest a day, I just always heard it was best. I did a very light swim this morning without any problems and typically I would run today but I have been throwing it around all day trying to decide because i do have a little soreness in my right leg

I've only done 3 sprints so far, so take this for what it is worth.  But I've noticed that I don't feel like I need a recovery after the sprints, and I mostly swim and bike the first few days, then running by midweek.  However, after each of my sprints so far, I have found that 7 to 10 days after the race, I feel incredible fatigued, and for two or three days I think to myself "I never want to train again." Each time that's happened, I've taken a couple of days off, slept, and then around day 11 I'm ready to go again.  Don't know if I would experience that if I forced myself to take a couple of days of recovery right after the race or not. 

Yeah its tough because I know everyone will respond differently after a race, granted a sprint is the lesser of all the evils to someone new, like me, it might have a different affect on how much recovery I will need. Thanks for the responses

I have only done 1 sprint but i did take the next day off and started back up on monday with swim and bike, run tuesday. Either way listen to your body. Good luck
