LazyDaisy Jun 2016 4:48pm, 24 Jun 2016 14,678 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy I don't have DOMS but I do seem to have re-tweaked my ?iliopsoas ?sartorius muscle - top front central of quads area anyway - which I nigglified during the triathlon cycle stage, and which was almost completely better but is now not quite so much better. I don't think it's terminal though ;-). I suspect it's to do with lifting my knee higher and putting more force down through the leg, than I'm used to.
