when are my legs going to quit hurting?

[yellow]

I didn't ride at all Saturday, or today; what is "a little recovery?"

You said you felt it on every hill, so I assume that means that you were feeling it during that 7 day stretch where you didn't take a day off. So I guess I meant recovery during that week.

I place a lot of stock in recovery food/drink as well. Are you paying close attention to that as well? I really notice a difference if I don't eat properly for the level/type of activity I'm doing.

Sounds like you're recovering now!
