Something new and different

 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...

Nice to have you on board keepin' us in-line Rick. I sure am not a man, don't have a wife and am allergic to beans so you are dead on the mark there.
