Soccer is not good recovery

So I was already sore after the threshold power test, but for some reason I decided to go play soccer with some of friends in my degree program. I never play soccer, and that game is really hard. Half way through the game, I remembered my coach's recommendation for the week. Recovery and relaxation was the doctor's order, but sadly:

After being the most sore I remember ever being on the Sunday and Monday after playing, I am finally recovered. That's the last time I play new sports during recovery weeks.
