Besides a recovery drink, don't forget to ice them legs after a long effort. It really helps them to bounce back quickly. I usually aim to ice while consuming said recovery item. It takes my mind off the cold water!!

Thanks, Denise. but where/how do you ice your legs after a ride? My longest ride ever (Saturday -- one loop of the IM course plus a couple extra miles back to the rental house) was only 40 miles. I've always felt perfectly fine the next day without ice, but now that I'm preparing for a century and significantly upping my mileage, I may need to do more. Any hints?
Now, can I hijack my own thread? DH did the Ironman yesterday and I told him about your GI issues. He recommends Hammer Digest Caps. He's used them on many mountain ultramarathons, the Silverman, and IMAZ. He swears by them. Depending on the particular issue, he might also take them with a pepto-bismol tablet. He used the Digest Caps yesterday.
