@Jonathan mentioned how he got a good fitness bump out of cape epic after ensuring adequate recovery (and being sick after).
What are good recovery strategies after a such big event? Maybe @Jonathan can also pitch in 
Great question: I’ve got a 100 mile MTB race in a couple months. One week later is road state champs. I wish there was one or two more weeks in between.
I’m planning a couple days of nothing but relaxing , then a day or two of z2, then very short openers.
Me, I have to do a 1 hour recovery ride the next day. If not I’m sore and out of it for about a week.
