Yesterday after hours at the desk typing and mousing I pulled on my Outside All Day kit and grabbed the Bianchi for a beach ride down to Torrance. The wind was up but I was ready to clear my head of keyboard strokes. As I pulled onto the strand a guy behind me says, “Nice tempo.” I edge my head around to see a guy in his forties on his ezee electric bike. I shrug. He says, you want a pull? I’m like, “sure.” And so for the next four miles I get in the slipstream and average 20 mph. Beautiful. On the way back with the wind in my face and with a serious ocean distraction to my left I sip on my Orange Motor Tabs and think happy thoughts.
Get out there.

GOOD BUZZ: No more coffee guilt
By Liz Applegate Ph.D.
From the May 2009 issue of Runner’s World
In a study done last year, researchers gave cyclists an energy bar with or without caffeine (equal to one cup of coffee) before and during a long, hard ride. They found that cyclists who have caffeine ride farther and think faster on cognitive tests than the no-caffeine group—useful news to runners in endurance events and adventure races, where quick decision-making is key.

I wonder if diet Pepsi and chocolate brownies have the same positive benefits?

Cyclocross Magazine, the nation’s leading print and online news source for the sport of cyclocross, recently conducted a product review on Fluid Recovery drink.
Here is a snippet of what they had to say about Fluid Recovery Drink:
“In terms of recovery, Fluid has many key nutrients that will help Cyclocross racers of all levels return quickly to their best. As always, taste is one of the largest factors in selecting nutrition products, and for me, this product is a hit. Those of you who may have grown up before sugar and sweets had permeated the food industry may not enjoy the sweet taste of Fluid’s Tropical Escape offering, but there is also the Berry Treasure option for you to try, which was our other testers’ preferred choice.”

As I’ve posted about in the past, I’m a huge fan of compression products. This article from AmateurEndurance.com sheds a little more light.
Compression Gear: Fact vs. Fiction
By Dr. Victor J. Runco, DC
February 13, 2009
Athletes of all genres, including the running and triathlon communities have an interest in injury prevention and performance enhancement. Products come along that are marketed at these groups with claims of scientific studies that prove their effectiveness. Typically these claims are false and amount to nothing more than propaganda by the manufacturer.
