Brandon, the exact same thing happens to me. I don’t even attempt the prescribed Tuesday workout following a race anymore. What I’ve found works well is to substitute Petit (even the -1 version) or Taku for that Tuesday workout then back to business as usual on Thursday. 2 days rest just isn’t enough for me and probably you as well; for now at least. I suspect that if you look at the TSS for your race/week you’ll see that you significantly exceeded your planned TSS for the week, so extra rest is probably warranted. Good luck out there!
