You're welcome. Good call - didn't think about the adult packed lunches as well. My wife is a big fan of Ben's 'massive salad in a wrap' concept for lunch, but definitely needs better snack ideas...

Hi Ben and Jessa, I realize you don't have school age kids yet, but would you consider doing an Inner Circle podcast on school lunch ideas? Our two boys are good eaters, and always have school lunches without any packaged foods. After six weeks of school, I'm starting to run out of ideas and am seeing lunches come home partially uneaten. The hardest part is that nuts and seeds are not allowed in lunches, so getting a good variety of protein sources is limited (you can only provide so much nitrate-free turkey...). Fresh veggies and fruits are a staple, but they are constantly asking for a carb source (they see the cookies and cereal bars their friends have). We would love any suggestions you might have on this topic. Thanks, and we really like the new format (Jessa, you are a natural!!)

Hey Jerry/hexclimber,

I would encourage you to correspond with Bioletics before doing any testing, as they are very open to questions about their services and products. In my own experience, I've found that the testing and products aren't as linked as you may think. Once I get my results, they always respond with recommendations for supplementation, but never push their supplements. However, through extensive research online and locally, they do offer many of their products at prices lower per month than through other sources. They are also constant searching for better, more cost effective products all the time.

I don't mean to sound like a commercial for them, but I truly believe the Bioletics are committed to working with people on their performance first, and not driven my the almighty dollar.

My 2 cents,
Todd

If I can convince my wife to record my finish on July 18th, I'll be posting! How to we post a video on the site? Just send it to you guy, or can we do it ourselves?

I attended this camp last year, and can tell you that this was an incredible experience. The training venues were amazing, the accomodations and food were outstanding, and by the end of the week I had gained more knowledge and fitness than I had in the last year combined. And best of all, other than my flight and initial fees, I didn't spend a cent (besides some sweet paraphenalia at Mellow Johnny's...); everything was taken care of.

This is a dream vacation/training camp for any triathlete. I'm signed up again, and hope to see a few Rockstar Triathletes there this year!

Great demo, Kerry. Whenever I do this drill, I feel like I'm going nowhere, but watching you I really see how you extend the shoulder forward to get a really good catch, even without the benefit of the open hand. Nice!

Cep socks came today, and they are awesome. Looking forward to trying them out. Thanks again for bringing these great deals guys.

This is a sweet deal - thanks guys! I wear the Sigvaris and Craft compression socks after races and long runs, but never during the race. Although, I was tempted during my last Half Ironman, but in the end didn't want to spend the extra time in transition getting them on. Ben, I'll let you know how these compare. BTW for you Canadians, ordering from this site and delivering to Canada was a breeze; these guys know what they are doing.

Does anyone know if we Canadians can order from this US store? I was going to email Mike, but thought I'd ask here. At first glance, they don't appear to accept non-US addresses...

Great comments, Ben. We can have some wicked winds here in Western Canada, especially during spring races. A couple of other points I have picked up from personal experience:

1. When going into the headwind, be very conscious about your aerodynamic position. Keeping elbows and knees in, and head still is more important for reducing drag. I try and think of myself as being 'skinny' and narrow, like a knife through the wind.

2. Just like the tailwind is the great 'equalizer', remind yourself that everyone is suffering as you push harder in the headwind. Maintain a strong mental focus, and think of yourself as being able to take more pain than any of your competitors. It really works!
