• How much training do you do on the bike you race on?
    Have you done any neck/shoulder/back strength work?
    Do you wear glasses? How often would you change position or stretch during?

  • I did about 9,400km between Jan and the race start on the same bike.

    I have been doing sone work with physios as well as using kettlebells and a resistance band. Going to try to increase the heaviness of weights.

    I wore contact lenses and Oakley jawbreakers.

    I would change position quite often like between tri bars and hoods and was not on the tribars that much. I probably didn’t stretch as much as I could have though.

  • Do you look out the top of your eyes? How much does your helmet weigh (ooh nurse)? Do you wear a cap? Do you use a helmet light?

    Sounds like you're doing lots of what I'd try already but there must be something that can do done to sort it.

    Were the strength exercises specific to your neck or just overall body strength?

    How much were you sleeping? Have you explained your problem to a bike fitter to see if they can work to reduce the weight your neck is holding?

  • Oakley jawbreakers.

    Full frame aren't they? I hate full frame sunglasses because the frame is always where you should be looking when on aerobars (I've assumed you're using aerobars?)
