I haven't tried compression tights, but might just have to go out get myself a pair given as everyone seems to be raving about them!

I don't drink beer during a stage race or omnium. Recovery drinks (like cholocolate milk), water, or lemonade are my go-to beverages.

Also make sure that you eat a good recovery meal at least 20min (or at least a sandwich or something if you can't get to a restaurant right away) after a race. it is during those first 20min that your body is best primed to absorb nutrients so this really aids in recovery.

Then take a nap, if possible, stay off your feet, keep your feet elevated as much as possible, and try a gently self-massage ("The Stick" works great for this).

Finally, make sure to get a full night's sleep before your next event!
