Here’s a decent source regarding (the lack of) lactic acid build-up in muscles:

I know it’s not the best source, but the scholarly articles I found were rarely relevant and poor at communicating the basic ideas.

I always feel pretty good about myself until I see the times from everyone who went later! You guys are terrifying! I love it!

thanks patrick! I have to say though, sara c is the beast she obliterated this thing. Everybody always brings their A game to train…..have to say, Durham has a bunch of bad-asses…everyday is like going to a race/competition of some sort, gotta love it!

Ashley, I read that most lactic acid is flushed out in ~1 hour after performance… That information is useless without a citation though, so I’ll work on figuring out where I read it and if I trust the source.
Also, I’m sure that sectional competition intensity was not what the study was basing their findings on. Probably more like a nice slow jog in the park.

In other news, I’m pretty inspired by the board times today, these posts, and the intensity I witnessed first hand. New March goal: Do more work faster, (but seriously this time).
My mental muscle is weak.

So, I did one round of the WOD. My leg are still so shot from last weekend. I didn’t think recovery would be like this. I rolled on the foam roller after and it really felt like I could feel lactic acid moving around in my muscles. Not sure if that’s possible, but that’s the only thing I could think of it being. Very odd.

Great job to the 6:00 class and to Lindsay for going alone in the 7:00 class. You all killed it!
