man oh man, that race on Sunday did a number on my quads - especially going down stairs. I forgot my post race protein drink, and I'm sure that didn't help. The 5K on Thursday probably didn't help either. The canoe start caused my quads to cramp right from the get-go, but I didn't think I would feel it 2 days later.
That said, I swam yesterday evening for about a mile (lost track of distance, but it was 45 minutes, and I can usually cover a mile in 40 minutes with rests). I also got up this morning and did an easy 30 minutes on the bike (indoor trainer) - call it active recovery. I plan on lifting weights tonight, maybe eliptical and maybe another 30 minutes on the bike. Hopefully I can do an easy run tomorrow. Broad Street 10 miler on Sunday - ugh - what was I thinking when I put my race plan together! (probably that I would be in better shape by now)

My post race quads are fine. It must have been that initial downhill sprint that strained them. I knew there was a reason that I didn't want to do that and I volunteered you for it! :-)
