eh, i found that ice was doing the trick yesterday..... just thought that seeing as im supposed to race tomorrow and its only a very minor injury id test out how it feels with deep heat. umm not good is the answer!
have had a stretch tonight and all is good, much better than it was on friday, seems like i can ride OK, its just about an hour after that it gets tight. may go and see a physio if pain keeps up.
cheers on the advice, and for the record it was nothing kinky, just sprints / hill simulation on the trainer on thursday night
