    I don't race but I think the general theory is to consume a mixture of carbs and protein (there's some suggestion that it should be one part carbs for every four parts protein) within half an hour of finish

    In practice a choclate milk is useful, or else a specialised whey protein / carb drink

    3 scoops of ON After Max recovery drink. (protein + Carbs etc)
    Coconut water.
    shower
    Foam roller! GET ONE! It's the business.
    Sambo later after an hour or so.

    carbs to protein should be more like 4:1
    'self myofascial release' is very benificial, I do it after racing and every hard training session followed by more the next day.
