So I'm pretty sure I've tweaked my popliteus. Popliteus. Sounds like some microscopic animal. Or maybe a really bad virus.
Who knows, but I think that's what is strained in the back of my left knee. Found some seemingly helpful info here and here.
For now, it's gonna be:
1. More cross training on the bike.
2. Easier pace, shorter runs and less of them.
3. Shorter strides and a more even footfall.
4. Better, deeper stretching before.
5. Ice after.
6. Massage?
7. No racing til March?
Keep you posted.

8. Stop playing Wii Dance so much when no one else is home.
Hm. I gotta check out those injury threads for whatever weird thing is plaguing the top of my foot.
Never heard of a popliteus. Probably better news not to have.
