My point was simply that I am an experienced weightlifter and I strength train regularly (3x per week usually, sometimes 4x) in addition to cycling and running.

I think the consensus is that I need to continue to add distance rides at a moderate pace and add in some interval work to improve my TT/duathlon leg pace. Again, I appreciate the input and I am hoping to put it to good use.
Do you strength train legs 3x to 4x a week? Regardless it sounds like some good recovery time might help. Like above, train hard, rest hard. Easy to say, hard to do.
