Apparently I decided to take a nap in T2 today. After that swim, I just didn't care.

Care?

Comments:

I had a really good ride but felt like I was holding myself back the whole ride. Or, if I was going a good pace, felt like I couldn't hold that all the way through to the run.

  • 01m 33s
Comments:

Had ants in my shoes with took a few seconds to deal with
Run
  • 30m 37s
  • 3 miles
  • 10m 10s  min/mile
Comments:

The run was much better than I expected. I walked pretty quickly out of T2 because I had to fix my hair and I was going out way too fast. I did my (for now) usual run 9, walk 1 until I hit 20 minutes and was close to the 2 mile mark. I ran the rest of it from then on.
What would you do differently?:

I could have pushed a little harder but, eh, wasn't feeling it.

Are these races too close together to give me any sort of recovery? Will I be spent and unhappy racing back to back weekends and then again two weeks after that?

The challenge? The accomplishment? I want to do this because it is an opportunity to live life. The event is an indoor sprint triathlon. I get to experience the challenge on a safer scale.

Since your “A” race is your marathon, which you stated in your question, this should be your main focus. I encourage you to taper a bit for the sprint distance triathlon.
