This might be a topic like "Shimano vs. Campy". Everyone probably has their favorite.

I like cold after a hard workout. For me running causes more muscle soreness than cycling. After a hard run I'll stop at the hose and run cold water over my legs. Other running/cycling friends go so far as to do an ice bath. Bbbrrrrrrrrr.

I eat within 30 minutes of a ride/run. I'm not too particular, but because of my eating habits it tends to be a mix of carbs and protein.

I take two Tums, a vitamin C (500 mg) and an E (400 IU) after a hard ride or race.

If I have an actual injury (pull, strain whatever..)I ice it with a bag of frozen corn and elevate my legs. Peas would probably work well too. Broccoli would be too mushy...

I always drink a glass of wine or have a beer with dinner. Yeah that's my secret weapon!
