As a reader of the website and user of the product  I finally convinced Shane to let me blog - I convinced him that I had something to say and that it would be different than what Dave and Lynda had to say.  I've been accused of being politically incorrect, and of speaking before thinking - all true!  My goal will be to write frankly and openly and spur some discussion.  Hope you enjoy it:

Just back from the 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo and man was that fun - big ring power course, perfect for the Deisel - my pedaling style.  In contrast to Dave and Lynda, I am more like the "everyman" - in other words, I have a full-time job, a wife, and I like to eat Mexican food!  So, while the 'crack heads" get to pedal 10 hours a day, I'm happy to get 10 hours a week.  And I don't keep a log, or work on my bike (ever)or even wash my bike (it's just going to get dirty again).  I just ride!  Still I manage to go pretty fast - a 57 minute lap at OP - of course unlike Tinker - who I finished right behind -  I was only going once every 5 hours!  My night lap was slow as hell though - my lights failed - I guess I'll have to get one of those fancy lights Dave is always talking about!

I am not afraid to admit that I've been using Health-fx products for about 6 years and have to say that they are the safest, best, no bull products I have found.  And they are legal (caution, Pro racers need to know that some Health-fx products are not legal by WADA standards - I personally don't give a damn about WADA - nothing is legal, you can't even take an antihistimine for a bee sting!).  By legal I mean I can go on-line or down to the Health Food store and buy them - they are food!  For this race I used Endurofx for the first time, and man it was really good - I felt unbelievable even on my final (5th) lap, which I turned in under 1:01 even though my legs were dead dead dead.  I also took Lifefx both days so that my legs wouldn't get sore ( I find that Lifefx really works on sore legs - not sure why but if you suffer from sore legs try some).  I think both of these products are even WADA legal, but I don't know for sure as I don't bother to read WADA's ~125 page list of banned substances - if it works they ban it, even if it is completely safe (more, much more, on WADA in a later blog).  Seems to me that if it works, and is safe, shouldn't we all be using it?  Better living (racing) thru Science, as Healthfx says...
