Philip,
I would love to meet with you, train, and get some training advice. Right now I'm working on conquering the swim/(managing to not drown after 15 laps).
By the way, to answer your question, I think I'm going to do the "I love the Taverns" sprint tri in Richmond on June 29th.

Eating and Exercise - Timing it Right

Although most endurance athletes know the importance of fueling-up with carbs (while leaving enough time to digest before exercise), and replenishing with carbs and protein right after exercise, the average person could probably benefit from the same approach to their regular workouts (I'm sure many people still work out before breakfast).

Does Stretching Reduce Injuries and Post-Workout Soreness?..No, according to most research

Thai Massage Therapy - Totally Different from Typical/Swedish Massage

OK, after today's A.R.T. Treatment by Andy Smith (to bang out the last remnants of fibrosis in my shoulder capsule and knee before heading out to Tahoe and its measley 150" base), I decided to try a Thai Massage from Pam Ruangsakvicht, the massage therapist at Tim Scheuerman & Andy Smith's Advanced Chripractic Office in Sterling, VA.

How do muscles fatigue?..by cellular calcium leakage.

According to a Coumbia University Study aimed at treating congestive heart failure, the cause of muscle fatigue is calcium leakage from muscle cells (Lactic Acid secretion had long since been discredited as the cause). With calcium-leakage blocking drugs, mice could run 10-20% longer - is an anti-fatigue drug on the way?..and would it be prudent?..

Proof that exercise slows the aging process?

[Modern] Athletes may live longer, according to this recent 10-year Study of 2,400 British twins which shows that those who exercised exhibited longer Telomeres - the protective caps on the end of chromosomes which shorten each time a cell divides, ultimately limiting cellular replication.
