Day Two!!
Camille, Eric and I are so tired from yesterday... I used to believe that muscle soreness was caused by a buildup of lactic acid... I'm not so sure any more.
What Causes Muscle Soreness?
... You finish a workout and feel great; then you get up the next morning and your exercised muscles feel sore. We used to think that next-day muscle soreness is caused by a buildup of lactic acid in muscles, but now we know that lactic acid has nothing to do it. Next-day muscle soreness is caused by damage to the muscle fibers themselves. Muscle biopsies taken on the day after hard exercise show bleeding and disruption of the z-band filaments that hold muscle fibers together as they slide over each other during a contraction... Scientists can tell how much muscle damage has occurred by measuring blood levels of a muscle enzyme called CPK. CPK is normally found in muscles and is released into the bloodstream when muscles are damaged.
Either way, Extra lactic acid, High CPK, tight muscle fibers... whatever... we are all sore today. But do you think that would stop us? Nope.
We took Brian and Shannon with us today and even though the wind was high and the water was rough it made for a great tubing day.

With the wind it made a great sail boat day.
