Raced Toronto Island on Saturday, had a good race… afterwards, back tightened up. I’m not really able to completely straighten up (probably about 5 degrees pitched forward). Not overly painful, just uncomfortable. I didn’t hit my swim tonight, felt like I need more time, but also wondering if anybody has any recommendations about stretches I might do, or whether I should get some cold/hot on it? Generally I take baths, but I’m hearing that might be the wrong thing to do?
Anyhow, want to get back out there… At the same time, don’t want to make things worse…
Only thing I changed was taking a spacer out of my aerobars last week. Hmmm… could such a small thing have caused my back to twitch up?
Any suggestions would be appreciated…
Thanks,
Ian
