ACSM trip

I got in a total of 5 hours of training this week, and 4 of them were today!

I spent the last week in Baltimore at the ACSM annual conference. My head is still spinning from all the good info I was able to take in. Almost every expert in sport science was there...from you name it...carbohydrates, protein, lipids, mitochondria, dehydration, hyponatremia research..I attended every session I could possibly fit in and even got to meet some of the very best and smartest people in the world. The good folks from PowerBar were also there unveiling some of their new products. I really can't describe how cool it was except for it was a great reminder for why I am doing what I am doing. Sometimes...okay..I'll be honest..quite often, it is easy to get caught up in the small day to day stuff like homework and meetings. It's also a bummer to not train as much as I like and to have to miss out on some really good races. But: the reward will be well worth it in the end.

Soon it will be time to head up to Michigan for some riding, family & friend time, and...the Lumberjack 100!!
