Trying to get your nutrition down on a regular bases is hard enough, now through swimming, biking and running into the equation. Well
Bob Seebohar seems to have solved that problem. Eating well balanced meals, and following a year round approach rather than weeks leading up to an event. Biggest thing is the explanation of how and when you should take fluid and when your tank might be low. Follow this book, put down the sports drink and enjoy one of your best season ever.

From the 100 pushups in 6 weeks, 200 sit-ups in 6 weeks, comes the 200 squats in 6 week. These can be found at
iTunesNow preforming the 100 pushups in 6 weeks works so seeing if the 200 squats won't kill you and breaking the normal workout routine could be good.
"If you're serious about increasing your leg strength and basic fitness, follow this six week training program and you'll soon be on your way to completing 200 consecutive squats!
Think there's no way you could do this? I think you can! All you need is a good plan, plenty of discipline and about 30 minutes a week to achieve this goal!
No doubt some of you can already perform an impressive number of consecutive squats, but let's face it, you're in a big minority. Most of you reading this won't even be able to manage 20 squats. Actually, I'm sure many of you can't even do 10.
However, it really doesn't matter which group you fall into. If you follow the progressive squats training program, I'm positive you'll soon be able to do 200 squats!"
Here we go again first thanks for
Carbon Fiber Gear for breaking this story and show ing the image.
So why do bike companies feel the need to build bikes, they barley can hang on with selling cars.
MB USA tried this once before and not sure how well it did, this time a loaded
SRAM red component set. If you have the money and can beat the 99 other people hoping in line to purchase a $9,000 MB bike have fun, it might help their bottom line.

Spending day after day on the bike or in the pool, running countless miles, might drive you nuts. So on the days that you have a core workout session head to a
Gracie Academy for some Jui-Jitsu training. Why not branch out and learn something new, strengthen your tendons and find your center. The Gracie's have been doing it since 1925, family owned and taught, you can't say that about to many places. Size and strength are not a factor, learning the moves and getting taped out will teach you and help you progress. Hey if you just want to learn the moves, join their
Ezine and receive their newsletter.

WOW big shock to the endurance world, Steve Larsen dies after a running workout.
A married father to five children and multisport business entrepreneur with a professional sports background that spanned from road cycling, MTB, Track and Cyclocross to triathlon, Steve Larsen passed away on Tuesday evening in the midst of a track workout. It is reported that he collapsed on the track and CPR was administered, but he could not be revived.
Steve had retired from his professional career as a triathlete in 2003, and had run his own bike shop business before moving on to commercial real estate. However, he returned to the pro ranks in 2008, placing 3rd overall at the Vineman 70.3 and posting a 9:19 in Kona. But instead, Steve felt his greatest athletic accomplishment in 2008 was raising funds for Challenged Athletes Foundation Operation Rebound at the CA 70.3.

Changing or improving your stroke can gain you valuable time, so how after many years of swimming a certain way can this be achieved. Well one is to
hire a USAT certified coach or spend time in a swim clinic. There are other ways and
Finis can help, with
Hydro HipImproves core strength and stroke efficiency. The fin placement on each hip creates resistance which forces the swimmer to rotate their hips at the top of the stroke when the greatest amount of core strength exists. Development of this timing assists in a powerful hip snap for improved stroke efficiency and distance per stroke. @ $30 you can't lose.

So it seems that a bill was signed in Colorado that protects the rights of cyclist.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Gov. Bill Ritter plans to sign a bill here today aimed at protecting the rights of cyclists.
The measure (Senate Bill 148) requires that drivers give cyclists at least three feet of space when passing or risk a $110 ticket.
Anyone who throws an object at a cyclist could be charged with a class 2 misdemeanor. That carries a fine of between $250 and $1,000 and a possible sentence of three to 12 months in jail.
The bill was sponsored by a bipartisan pair of avid cyclists - Republican Sen. Greg Brophy and Democratic Rep. Mike Merrifield. It will take effect Aug. 5.
Now lets start to crack down on the cars that buzz cyclist.

So with everyone trying to build the next best GPS, one device is still better than two. From watches to phones. If what they are saying is true and who knows, the
iPhone is one of the most mocked up device, meaning anyone with photoshop can make it look to be true. If they are putting a compass in the next iPhone this could open up a ton of possibilities. One can only hope and wait till June.

Every sport should steal this concept, have a totally tricked out bike and the person who wins the race gets to use it at the next event, professionally set up and components replace. This would be great for the sport of Triathlons, since the bikes get quite expensive. Here is
GT Bikes idea in a nut shell.
"Meet the GT Golden Bike. It’s light. It’s fast. It’s got the best frame and components anywhere. Oh, and did we mention it’s completely gold? Starting on April 19th, the Golden Bike will be up for grabs at races around the country. Win the race, win the bike. It’s that easy. But there’s a catch. Winning the Golden Bike means you have to defend it at the next Golden race. Don't worry, we'll cover your race fee, put you up in a hotel and fly you and a friend there. We'll also give you a GT Golden Race jersey and a $250 Sugoi gift certificate. But you’d better win or you’ll surrender the Golden Bike and all its glory to whoever does. With all that said, good luck winning the Golden Bike. You’ll need it."
So imagine a triathlon series like this, first you get a
wetsuit or speed suit (golden of course) then a tricked out
tri bike followed up with a sweet pair of
running shoes and some price money of course. What a following you could get.
Just a thought way to go GT.
