Deb
Something happened to my body after the 20 mile hilly ride that I wasn't trained to do.... had a MAJOR energy crash and this is the first time I've been back on the bike. Sure felt good!!

I would try walking, a rest day, icing & ibuprofen. When I did the Oly on Saturday & Sprint on Sunday they had me go home on Saturday to take an ice bath and lots of massage stick on the legs. I was really surprised how well the ice bath worked.

I'm terrible when it comes to this kind of advice Deb.... I am my own worse enemy ... In general, my belief at my present wise old age is that more harm can be done by training when you feel tired than the potential gain when you decide to push through the soreness...

Nice work, Deb! Our Atlanta does have it share of daunting hills. When you are on one side of a hill, and you can't see the cars that just started down the other side, you know you have some serious altitude changes. That's our Atlanta!
