For those who've done it (or similarly long audaxes), how long have you taken to get back to normal fitness-wise?
After I did PBP it took me around three weeks for my knee to get back to the point where I could put it under proper strain again and nearly six months before I could feel all of my fingers and toes properly. I would regularly hit fatigue barriers in the middle of easy personal rides and get into some downward spirals. Some of this may have been psychological though.
Mind you, two guys from Wakefield Tri Club were out doing Helvellyn Triathlon a couple of weeks after PBP. I guess there's always someone who can push it further, faster, harder and more often than you (at least this is what the missus says BDT).
