I started to blame Greg180, for this, but the overall BF bad luck hit parade seems a more likely target. Thursday, I rode nice and easy in to work just to get a few miles on the legs after the Wed. race. Late thursday afternoon, I noticed my back was beginning to tense up. No big deal, just popped a few motrin; back pain is nothing new for me whether I am riding or not. By Friday morning, I could barely walk, and was worse on Saturday; definitely the worse pain I have ever felt.

Thankfully, we were visiting my sister who is a physician. She worked some of the knots out & gave my back a quick once over. It was better yesterday, and is only a bit sore today. Still, it means a few days off the bike as the muscles loosen up. My wife is blaming my race on Wednesday night for the pain, which is possible, but I think it is more of a coincidence. Oh well. I'll not be able to go back to the training crit for a few weeks due to scheduling conflicts anyway. Guess we'll see if it happens again.
