I seem to be findding that post racing I get a lot of "back" pain around the sides of my back... ...more rib cage pain.

I suspect its because I spend a lot of time looking under booms to see tell tales on the Genoa and then leaning out and then back in in the gusts etc.

Is there a good warm up technique that I could use that might stop my back killing after a race...
