The Forecast for the upcoming weekend is calling for 35-45 mm of RAIN on Saturday, the day

I go ADVENTURE RACING at Mt. Washington with teammate Darryl Woodley. It's a 50 km course with some Mountain Biking, Paddling, Bushwhacking and Orienteering. It will mean lots of GOOD WET MUDDY FUN in the Back Country. I'm hoping to use this experience to get others to try something NEW and EXCITING in 2011.

How did I train for this style of RACING? In a quick review I trained in all events featured this weekend. With the least amount of time spent in a Kayak. I rode 2-3 x per week ALL OUT , HARD AS I COULD GO for 60-90 minutes. NO WASTED TIME! It got my WIND UP ( CARDIO) in a SHORT period of time. I also spent some time in the BACK COUNTRY SOLO HIKING. I was able to practice my navigation and map reading skills on each outing.

.AND NOT TO FORGET 2-3 Metabolic Conditioning sessions PER WEEK at CVI or at HOME. My goal is complete this event in under 5 hour, which I feel is completely do-able as long as WE DON'T GET LOST!

HOW DID I CARE FOR MY BODY?

By utilizing all MANUAL THERAPIES I had available to me. THANKS to DR. ROBYN at BACK TO BACK for the ADJUSTMENTS AND A.R.T. DR KYLE for B-12 Injections and Homeopathic Medication to keep me STRONG AND COLD AND FLU FREE, YEAH!. DR STEPHAN for the ACUPUCNTURE and MOTOR POINT THERAPIES ALONG WITH CHINESE HERBAL FORMULAS .

WARM UP WARM UP WARM UP

The above picture is from Tuesday night practice with the Thunderbirds. At approximately 5 minutes into practice , coach Jeff has them working a deep squat glide and stretch. If our player's are not effectively warmed up prior to this drill , the effectiveness is lost. A full dynamic off ice warm up is crucial! Warm up should include hip and shoulder mobility, deep body weight squats, spinal flossing drills, as well as a brief intense cardio blast. NO LONG JOGS, NO STATIC STRETCHING. MOVEMENT MOVEMENT MOVEMENT! Usually ten to fifteen minutes is suffice for most player's. Those dealing with limitations due to previous injuries should consider warming up for 20 minutes or more. Remember this. When you hit the Ice, you should be ready to GO.

Better Cardio?

What if I told you that a simple inexpensive supplement may be able to help increase your VO2. Would you be interested? Well if so, I'll let you in on a Chinese Herb that has been used for Centuries to help open up the Lungs and increase performance, it's called Cordyceps. In one study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, researchers reported that athletes who took 4.5 grams of cordyceps daily for six weeks had double the rate of oxygen intake as those in the placebo group.
