I remember on TCR 2016, day 3, leaving the last town to start the climb up into the Jura in Eastern France, probably about 1000km in, acknowledging that my achilles was a problem and that I was going to have to do something about it.
I'd never had achilles pain before on any ride. I stopped at the side of the road and spent 10 minutes googling what to do. I then put my saddle down quite a bit. If I hadn't done that, I expect I would have had to DNF.
