post race recovery

After racing on sunday (OW Sprint ), I have just been out on a 1.5 hour Cadence recovery ride @ zone 2 HR .

Is this too much , too soon ?

    This is interesting. I just assumed recovery was rest up and wait a few days.

    Is this why I still feel like shit two days after OW standard??

    Does the same apply to recovery from hard workout resulting in severe DOMS? Did some plyometrics on Saturday and couldn't walk til Tuesday.

    If you can face it a bit of spinning in the afternoon of the race will help, as will a bit of a bob-about-in-the-water swim.

    What does DOMS mean? I'm assuming something to do with muscle fatigue?

    Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, and comes on 24 to 72 hours after exercising. So you may feel fine the morning following a hard session, but later in the afternoon or even 2 days after your muscles can begin to ache.

    Added Tax. It's the sweetener you've got to add to the cost of a purchase to keep the other half on board.

    Ah so if I were to say that in order to buy a boardman bike this week I bought Mrs Silverback a hybrid, under the auspices of a present for passing her driving test, that would be WAT?

    Probably more so if it's non Tri / SBR related. So for instance, you get to race London Triathlon, she gets weekend in the smoke with a West End show
