Recovering after Ironman

OK all you Ironmen out there, I'm doing my first IM (Switzerland) in 2010, and the GAT officer is making some noises about 'doing' something while we're there. Now I don't think i need to tell you people that I AM DOING something while i'm there, but she seems slightly oblivous/obtuse on this and wants to sightsee etc. It seems fair enough as she's giving up some time to come and watch me do something she really doesn't care about other than it takes me away from her and it costs a lot. So the question is, if I am going to be forced to sightsee (are there any 'sights' in Zurich?) is it better to do it before the race, or will I be ok to do a bit of sightseeing the following day?
We took the day after approach for the Paris Half marathon (I know, i know worlds apart) and we spent the afternoon of the race walking about and then the following 2 days doing the same. It seemed to help with the recovery.
Cheers

After a year of indulging my (early) mid life crisis, turning a blind eye to my frivolous spending behaviour (well most of the time), and the countless hours spent standing still whilst waiting for me to shuffle past every few hours at numerous events and still having the enthusiasm to scream my name like I'm in with a chance of winning... I'll be treating her like a queen and not grumbling one bit.
Well I say that now of course.
