Yesterday I solved all the World’s Problems
8.5 hours on the bike will do that. Especially without music. I don't like to listen to music when I exercise, it blocks out God's Voice. I started my ride off with heading down Tramway. Lot's of folks out riding yesterday but one gentleman caught my eye. The guy with one leg. Tramway climb is my least favorite climb in the world. It's 5-6 miles long, and it's got a small grade, and it's mentally challenging, seeing where you are going. It's a great LT interval. So here comes a guy with one leg. No prosthetic, just

Thanks for Checking in
It's always good to, or you miss some great information, like today. 1st off I want to remind everyone how important it is getting BCAA's (branched chain amino acids) in your supplementation during long duration exercise. I usually get mine from meat. A lot of attention on L- Carnitine. Carnitine helps the process of AMP into ATP. as well as help maintain glucose uptake and availability. The latest research is tending towards the importance of L-Arginine. L-Arginine is a precursor to NO(nitrite oxide) If this is foreign to you then check back on an
San Juan Hut to Hut with Terra Firma Racing
The best way to describe it is Wow; Wow-zapalooza. What is Hut to Hut? It's a 6 night adventure via bicycle through a hut system from Durango to Moab: I committed to the event about a year and a half ago. I committed to schlepping the kitchen through the San Juan Mountains. I love Back Country. Although 6 days would be the longest I have gone. I knew the truck would hold up well, as the guys at the shop said, it's the best shape they have ever seen the make and model of my vehicle.
Where are you From?
The loaded and impossible question. Where am I from? I was born at the Ramsey Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota. I toured around the Twin Cities for 12 years: which included: Brooklyn Center, Golden Valley, Minnetonka. At which point I moved to St Louis, Missouri. I graduated High School from Webster Groves, Missouri, spending roughly 6 years in St. Louis. From there I journeyed to Columbia, Missouri, where I lived for 4 years. Columbia is where I learned what I wanted to be when I grew up, and that I wanted to move West. So I did, to Albuquerque,
Latest Research Regarding Beet Root Juice
For several years now, we've known that Beet Root Juice significantly increases time to fatigue in performance, anywhere between 12 and 25 percent depending on dose and time of supplementation prior to measured exercise performance. Beet Root Juice is high in Nitric Acid(NO): NO aids increases circulation via vasodilation NO improves neurotransmission NO improves K/Ca handling in the body NO has also been shown to have glucose sparing effect, meaning, levels of circulating glucose don't decrease as much in the presence of NO. NO increases the expression of Ca handling of proteins. The original research coming of
I am an Athletic Performance Engineer
American College of Sports Medicine 2013. Indianapolis, Indiana It's already Thursday, and I have learned so much. It has been a great week. Finally, Princess of Atlantis has returned. I got to swim at IUPUI Natatorium. I didn't realize it was such a big deal until, I went. They are having National Championships and the World Championship Trials there in a couple of weeks. It's the #1 Pool to visit for a swim meet: It's rated one of the fastest pools in the country, home of 88 National Records and about a dozen World Championships. I wasn't too fast. It's
Everyone Responds Differently to Altitude Training
It's an assumption that when you live at altitude, you should, and will, perform better at sea level. That's not always the case. When I come down, I am lethargic, slow, my get up and go, has stayed at altitude. It has always been that way. Then, the studies show, that it takes about 14 days to acclimate: Not me, it takes a year. When I come down the only place I show speed, is the pool; running and biking. argh, can't even fake it. Then, the latest studies say, "Live High, Train Low". That is to
