Foam roll.

10 min. very low intensity, high cadence spinning on rollers
(practice reaching for/drinking out of/replacing water bottle with both hands. Great skill to have on the road so you don't have to look down to fuck around with water bottles while riding. It can and should become second nature/intuitive, but most people completely neglect this aspect of training. It doesn't matter how high your LT power if you need a drink and have to look down in the middle of a group ride, breakaway, or race, when that fraction of a second could make the difference between hanging on and getting your ass dropped)
*other goals with this component: wake up/rehearse pedaling movement pattern, increase pedaling efficiency, practice 'sitting lightly' on bike, practice engaged but relaxed posture, practice balance and on bike mobility
