Sailed for the first time in a fair while yesterday at Sandy Point.

Even though I did bugger all runs, I was hurting. (In fact, all the Southerley Busters were feeling their age)

What do you do before and after to make sure you can at least walk after a session?

more sessions.

Bugger - I am sore Echunda, it was a funny scene watching us all crawl into Mc Cafe for a coffee at Korumburra like a pack of cripples. I never feel that way after an Inverloch Session. Blame it on Kato chasing us around or could have it been Drift hitchhiker policy

SUP

Have a couple beers, a hot shower and then a good sleep. If pain persists see your doctor.

White, no odour Dencorub applied to the small of the back, before sailing.

After sailing, re-apply.

Before I found this treatment, there were times when I couldn't get out of the van, because my back had seized in the 30 minute drive home.

If using 36 cm fins (or above), apply to the ankles and leg muscles before going home. At home, a nice shower and a re-application of the Dencorub.

Hope this helps.

it's my lower body that is feeling old.[46]

my upper body feels sweeet 16 or nearly.

while sitting down, raise your legs above your heart.

after sport put clothes on immediately or you'll wake up very stiff next day.

while in shower 30 seconds to a minute of cold water on each leg,keep going for 3/5 minutes.

eat organic f+v,with plenty of fresh squeezed juices should slow ageing a bit.

and try to stay away from the white coats [modern mediSIN]

Drink more beer

+1 . A hot bath and a beer works well!

were you walking back????
The trudge through that soft sand killed me when I was there.

you gotta stretch for at leat 15 min before and after to loosen up and get rid of the lactic acid.

^ +1

Wish I was hurting now

Perhaps 1 teaspoon of cement might help

Take 3 Advil before and 3 Advil after session 5 hours apart.
Good sailing

I train a lot at the gym and run about 5 times a week as well (used to do sport pretty seriously in my late teens and the habit hung around).

Creatine is your answer - the old-school,boring, gives you water weight kind (think its called Monohydrate).

If you take this quite often you'll never have recovery pain as your body repairs and rebuilds so fast - if you only take it after a heavy workout once a month it at least halves your recovery/pain.

I see windsurfing and kite surfing as a sport just like any other - your bodies recovery is the same. Food/"Protein & Simple carbs" and if you want Creatine as a supplement == you never worked out.

Can be found at all health food/supplement stores and if you buy the bog standard old-school kind (with no other crap in it such as caffeine etc) it should cost you no more than $30
