It still feels kind of tender, but I can't tell if I'm just making it up, or if it really does still feel like that. I couldn't sleep at all last night, so the fatigue may have something to do with that. I'm also still fairly short of breath, which does have me a little concerned.

I definitely pushed myself, but it wasn't like I was doing anything that extreme. It's very possible that since I was with a group much faster than I usually ride, I just wasn't aware of how hard I was actually going.

Going to take the next few days off, and probably schedule an appointment just to check things out. I'd much rather be seen as a hypochondriac than the alternative.
