I knew my body would need to recover after the Spring Death Valley Double, but I think it went overboard. The first couple of days I was just sore. My thighs were tight and complained whenever I used them, but the pain was acceptable. I could live with it. However, what happen once I got home really was terrible. First I got the stomach flu on Tuesday morning. What I ate on Tuesday night exited my stomach the way it came in on Wednesday morning. I called in sick on Wednesday, but felt good enough to suffer through work on Thursday. By Friday, I was feeling better, but that is when the migraine hit. I drove home from work and was confinded to the couch for the rest of the day. Hopefully, this will not happen after each double.
