tendon pain behind knee

On Friday, I was running a little bit of light mileage before my triathlon on Saturday. I know I should have tapered, but didn't.

Anyhow, I noticed about 2 miles out I was having some stiffness in the tendon on the left side (the two big tendons on the back side of the knee) and by the evening it was just about unbearable.

I did finish the tri on Saturday, but then spent all day Sunday doing ice therapy and elevation combined with NSDS to alleviate the ache.

Today there is zero pain. I'm still in post-race mode until Thursday-Friday but am wondering if anybody else is familiar with this type of problem?
