James Dicker


Winner at Spirit of Racine and Big Foot Triathlon (Male 61-64r)

Spirit of Racine
By the time I raced The Spirit of Racine, (SORJ, I had been using MAP for almost 2 months. SOR is a long race consisting of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and a half marathon, 13.1 mile run. Although it is only half the distance of the race that I would be competing in at the Ironman World Championships in Kona, later in the fall, it was a good test of my fitness, and a challenging test of my ability to maintain intensity over a long period of time.
To train for this event and the Ironman I would be competing in later in the year, 1 used MAP both before and after long bike rides of over 100 miles and long runs of up to 20 miles. The time drops and especially my ability to recover from these training bouts was greatly inhanced by MAP. In fact on a training ride before the race during which I rode the entire course, I beat my previous time from a year earlier at less than race intensity. After years of competing in triathlons, [ managed to break 5 hours for this race distance for the first time in my life.
I do not believe that I would have had the success that I have had this year without the recovery help that MAP has afforded me. At 61 years of age, and after competing in triathlons for 19 years, I have had by far my most successful season ever. Thank you BodyHealth.com.

 

Big Foot Triathlon
MAP, (Master Amino Acid Pattern) supplements were a crucial part of my nutritional program as 1 trained for the Ironman World Championship this year. In 2009 my primary training was focused on long distance racing. Bigfoot Triathlon in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin is an Olympic distance race which required a significantly higher intensity than do the longer events. About a month before this race, my coach mentioned that he used MAP to help with recovery. He lent me a supply to try going into this event. To train for this race, I would piggyback short hard bike workouts with 5k run efforts. About 30 minutes before this kind of workout, I would take MAP, and then take it again immediately follow the workout. Both my times and especially my recovery have improved since 1 began this regimen. I am very careful and meticulous about how I train and what I put into my body. Incorporating MAP into my training and race preparation is now a regular part of my life.
