Beautiful doesn’t begin to describe the run course as it winds through the breathtaking resort grounds. This is the only opportunity you will probably ever have to run on the gorgeous fairways of a world class resort golf course without getting arrested!  From rolling hills of green grass, to feeling the ocean breeze along the stunning coastal bay, then heading all the way out to the petroglyph park, Honu 70.3 in Kona is truly a journey through paradise.

If you are always full of energy and don’t have dips and lulls through the day, then you definitely do not need to take nutrition supplements daily...

This week's question comes from Ron:

"I am training for an upcoming triathlon. Would I be able to do your cleanse program during my hard training phase?"

As I have transitioned into a new job as the Brigade Operations Officer for 1st Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division - my time and my recovery from training are both becoming more and more important.

My time for training is absolutely critical because I must be judicious and efficient with my time in my new job. It isn’t uncommon to work late into the evening hours and report back for work early the next morning before the sun has risen.

If you’re unfamiliar with this event, it’s worth knowing a little something about it.

This twenty-eight year old event is iconic. It’s a weekend-long festival which includes three races: a long course (Half Ironman), a mountain bike sprint and an Olympic distance race. And all racing is done on terrain that is scary tough – it’s not for the faint of heart.

Is it right before exercise, right after, or some other time?  The answer is in a new study in the peer reviewed journal, Nutrition, and it just might surprise you.

Researchers studied a group of 44 young, healthy men.  They put them all on a resistance (weight lifting) exercise training program for three months.  They gave half of them a protein supplement consisting of 27.5 grams of protein, 15 grams of carbohydrate, and 0.1 gram of fat every night before sleep.  The other group...

Luis Alvarez is a Triathlete, Businessman, Alpinist, and Entrepreneur. "Every time I do an Ironman, I'm inspired to do another, and crossing the finish line is one of the most rewarding experience in my lifetime".

Luis is also founder of "Asociación de Triatletas Mexicanos" (ATM), an organization that promotes the ‘Non Drafting Legal Triathlons.' Luis applied to the Guinness Book of World Records for finishing every single Ironman race on the World Triathlon Corporation circuit.

 

Back in the 1800’s, one of Mark Twain’s characters Mulberry Sellers proclaimed “there’s gold in them thar hills” to get miners to move from Georgia to California

As much as everybody loves gold and it has such a high value, did you know that gold is actually quite possibly the most anciently administered medicine?

1992 was my first triathlon racing season. I was 48 and a total novice.

Flash forward 23 years and the good news is: I’ve had 23 great years. The not-so-good news is:  I’m now racing as a 71-year-old.

Clearly, I’m coming into the home stretch and can now see a finish line that wasn’t there when I was forty-eight. But, I’m not done with this adventure yet
