DOMS Big Time

I got DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) big time today, from yesterday's running race. It not as bad as I thought it would be, but it's still pretty bad. I can ride, but walking is a problem, especially up and down stairs.

Jordan, Waataja, and I did an easy 2 hour ride yesterday, and another one today. It seems to help a little, but in the absence of a massage, it's simply going to take time to heal.

I bumped into Doug Swanson and his wife at the Chocolate Ox (local candy/ice cream shop). I felt less guilty about having the Paul Bunyan Cone, once I saw Doug indulging his sweet tooth too.

Jimmer,
Weightbearing activity on those hamstrings doesnt feel too good, does it? I feel your pain after any tri i do. Best to avoid practice runs (in my mind) cuz you then have sore hammies even before the actual event!
Massage, and contrast baths help.
