I am one week ahead of you - am now on the recovery week. Last week, things were starting to ache a bit and I was going up stairs more slowly. Ramp test on Monday - which will obviously determine how hard the next few weeks will be.
I want to try harder with flexibility now to help me spend more time in the aerobars and that definitely feeds through to speed. ISTR that I actually got more flexible when I rode for 10+ days, everything really loosens up.
For me it is mainly hamstrings. On a bad day I can just about touch my knees. I have tended to work round it by having my saddle forward to open up hip angle (more on TT bikes) but it can cause problems elsewhere, so better to get more flexible.
