I experience an interesting phenomenon after Nationals. I was off the bike completely for almost a week, and after about 5 days my legs started aching, almost like DOMS. The only thing I can think of is that my body was so used to riding hard that it was revolting at the sudden change.
I thought this was pretty bizarre.
OK, awesome post. Whoo!

i get that too when i take lazy breaks during the season -- although probably not the same as you since i have spindly computer programmer legs.
it serves as a reminder to me that my break is over and i need to get back on the bike.
as you can tell from my results - my training is *highly* effective.
It could be all the glycogen and water your holding from not training.
Are you saying I'm fat?
Again I have the exact same thing happen to me.If I take a week off my legs ache but it feels different than when training hard.
