Daffodils in the woods, a sign of an old habitation. This one had a cross ply tire buried near the remains of rusting utensils and other evidence of a long gone home. Time marches on!
Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman
Extra rest day today, because as you age it takes longer to recover. Joe Friel talks about this issue for aging triathletes.
Workout: 2-mile walk in the woods with Willbe, our lovely yellow lab.

Hi Kevin,
I see you are taking time out to smell the flowers. Good on you! Spring is a lovely time, a time to reflect on growth and renewal. Here in Australia, we are entering autumn (we don’t call it fall). In Canberra, where I live, it is actually the best season as all the trees change colour and “the bush capital” becomes a sea of reds, greens, oranges and browns for several months as we prepare for the coming winter. Our winters are somewhat milder than those you are used to. We get a snow fall every few years, but by and large we are snowless. This means that outdoor activities such as running and riding can go on pretty much all year round.
My waxing lyrical about the changing seasons being a time of renewal is a prelude to asking you whether you supplement your diet at all? As I have progressed through my own recovery, I returned to supplementing my protein intake with whey powder as my weight workouts gradually increased in intensity. While neither my workouts nor my protein intake will ever approach those of my early 20s, i have found that I am feeling better and my lifting is improving. I am also taking Co-enzyme Q10, on the recommendation of my triathlete son and it seems to be helping with recovery and muscle pain.
Now I realise that it could be all in my head, but I wouldn’t mind if it was as long as it works and I feel better! The mind is such a wonderful unknown. Anyway, any views or experiences you would like to share?
Best regards,
Glenn
