Race schedule for the next few weeks has a few times when I'm on both Saturday and Sunday. I had one of these this last week, and I feel absolutely wrecked.

I did a chocolate milk recovery shake and lots of water immediately following race #1. Some movies, a beefy sandwich, a few beers in the evening. Ibuprofin and a hot bath at night.

Before race #2, oatmeal with protein powder, raisins, walnuts. Gu right before the start. Chocolate milk recovery shake, lots of water after. Regular food follows. Ibuprofin like crazy.

I've heard good things about recovery compression tights, any truth to that?

Otherwise, not sure what else I should be doing. Cold bath instead of hot? Light spin on the bike, yoga? Nix the beer?
