I love this classic triathlon swim start picture. The lens flare from the sun makes me squint in the same way that my eyes squint across the water to mark the first buoy. The cold water or the miles ahead don’t matter because every swim start brings a rush of adrenaline and excitement.

Paleo as in “Paleo-Style Diet” has continued to grow and garner attention. Rightfully so, and while I still have many questions, Paleo ideas generally tend to make sense. Can some of these concepts be adopted for better endurance performance and overall health? I think so.
