My First Triathlon

Submitted by Mike on Sat, 21/04/2012 - 08:15

It was never about setting any sort of decent time.

It was about finishing, and it was about understanding how a race actually feels.

My first triathlon was an Olympic distance event called Enduroman. The course consisted of an ocean swim off the beach, a flat and relatively easy bike route, and a run course along an equally flat beach promenade.

Adding interest to the day was the fact that we’d be on course with those doing the double and the full Ironman distance, and that several good training mates were competing as well.

The Swim

The swim section for the double had been cancelled because the conditions were atrocious. There was a howling wind, and even in the sheltered bay the waves were enormous.

Canned Oxygen For Sports People

Submitted by Mike on Fri, 20/04/2012 - 11:35

A UK based company has just launched a canned oxygen product onto the market, which is aimed at sports people.. Plenty of celebrities like Simon Cowell and Lady Gaga use oxygen to help their mental alertness and energy levels, and it’s now making it’s way into the world of sport. Booost tells us that it’s like taking an energy drink, but without the calories, caffeine, sugar and the “low” that comes afterwards!

Here’s what the guys at Booost went on to say:

“BOOOST OXYGEN are the only British Canned Oxygen brand available in the UK aimed at gym users and pro-am athletes from all sports. We have spent two years developing 99% pure BOOOST OXYGEN that is; portable, safe, easy to use, affordable and approved by WADA.

Your gym bag is a must location for a micro-tank of portable BOOOST Oxygen….why? It has been demonstrated that the application of Hyperoxic Mix (90%-100% oxygen) can enable sports-people to push themselves harder during sport and recover quicker…all thanks to increased oxygen saturation of the blood and tissue, and lower anaerobiosis in the working muscles.
