#dailymission How do you find and decide which races you'll do? How far in advance do you put your racing schedule together?

Of course not! ;-) I ask cause I usually try to get time in the water before doing anything else; my legs otherwise tend to feel a bit shot, and I don't get that good of a workout in :-/ But, everyone's different :-)

@rahmin - i'm the complete opposite! if i try to run after a swim, my shoulders are completely shot. even a day later, my arms feel heavy and i have to drop and shake 'em out every once in a while. i can't imagine getting on a bike in between all that :D
