One other suggestion I got was that I might have had too much pressure on the top of the foot, or that tendon there. I was wearing heavy wool socks, my ankle braces, my shoes, and my neoprene booties. I wear that combination quite often, but perhaps this time something wasn't sitting quite right.
It sounds more and more like what I get. It goes away in a day usually.
In my case it does not matter what I wear.
Maybe something is flexing that part of your leg or ankle joint, more than the trainer. Did you take much time off at all?
It could just be the increase in riding time if you went right from the trainer to a century. If I remember correctly, it's gone in about a week of riding.
