If you're like me, then it's probably been a couple of weeks or months since you've done any serious training or racing.
There's nothing wrong with that.
As an adult age-grouper triathlete, I think it's important to take an offseason, both to let your body rest and heal after the rigors of the season and to give you time to reconnect with your family and with the other parts of your life that exist outside the sphere of swimming, biking, and running.
