Skid Stopping Leg Soreness

So just got the new fixed gear about two weeks ago, never ridden one before, decided to take it out for a ride. After I got the basics of riding the thing down I tried doing some skip stops, after a little bit got that down. Felt really cool to be able to do that, so i did it ALOT.

Anyway my question was in regards to the leg soreness I experienced after, which was immense to say the least. I didn't even want to try the skip stops again for another week. Couldnt even bring my forward leg up to my waste off the bike.

Is this normal given that they are probably muscles I have never really worked while cycling? If it isnt normal, any suggestions on how to fix it?
