Chris McCormack getting into a wetsuit

July 19, 2008 · Filed Under Audio, MAIN PAGE, VIDEO REPORTS 

I had a bit of a laugh when i saw this, after you have been doing something for so long you simply forget that for the first timer there is always a learning curve.

Even something as simple as putting on a wetsuit has its challenges, such as is most things we attempt for the first time ,but that is in itself the sweet taste of success.

By actually going through with a dream, goal or ambition you are at the forefront of the pack so follow Macca put on the wesuit, pump up the tyres, lace up the runners, and get up to the start line .

In south East Queensland the wetsuit temperature ruling does not see many races run with a wetsuit, but if you do own one it is always a good thing to practice getting out as well as getting in and take a few practice swims.

If I know i will be using a wet suit I find it good to get three or four swims in, as for me it seems to make my arms tired and I do not like the feeling of something tight around my neck and chest.

I have added a new feature to this blog. As you know, if you read this blog I do not go a lot into training details and articles here as there is a lot of information out there. I tend more to lean towards great achievements and Items of encouragement.

The new addition is a widget in the side bar that gives feeds from other sources for this element of training and popular stories so you can drop by and get all sorts of info.

I like the podcast No 62 from www.tri_talk.com a great way of getting information on the run just download and listen on the run

  • Ten Tips for Optimum Athletic Recovery

    Ten Tips for Optimum Athletic Recovery

       1. Drink water, all you care for, before during and after engaging in

       strenuous activity


       2. Eat fruit upon completion of activity to bring blood sugar back

      to normal levels and provide sugar for conversion to muscle glycogen.


       3. Consume celery and/or tomatoes to provide necessary

       sodium at least several times per week or as often as you participate

       in strenuous activity.


       4. When possible, rest after meals to foster optimum digestion.


       5. Remember, exercise does not provide energy, it requires energy.

        Sleep as much as you desire.


       6. During long duration activities, drink sports drinks of fruit blended

       with water. This works very well. For "ultra" events, add celery to the mixture.


       7. Monitor your water losses by using a scale to measure your weight before

        and after workouts.


       8. Raw foods provide the maximum nutrients for the minimal calories 


        encouraging the most rapid recovery. Gradually raise the raw percentage

        of your diet until you approach or reach 100%.


       9. Develop the habit of going to bed earlier to obtain a good night's sleep.


      10. Keep meals simple for optimum digestion, and varied to insure optimum nutrition.
