Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP) Winner's Circle Thomas Adlard
 Winner at Shaver Lake Triathlon (age group 35-39)
At a friends urging, I attempted my first triathlon in April 2005 at the age of 39. Actually, I think he just wanted someone to train with and torture. I found the training difficult and was often fatigued during training and was slow to recover afterwards. The triathlon we were doing was an Olympic distance, although most people told me I should try a sprint distance first. It took me 3 hours and 15 minutes to complete that triathlon and I was sore for days after.
I didn't like my performance, nor the way I felt after the event and after my training sessions. Talking to some friends that have undergrad and advanced degrees in chemistry, and who are also avid cyclists, I started looking at my training fatigue as being a problem of nutrition. I took my friends' advice on the types of foods I should be eating and started reading up possible supplements.
I came across MAP and decided to give it a try. Before I started taking MAP, I would have to take the next day off after a hard, long workout, and that severely limited how many workouts I could do in a week. When I started taking MAP I noticed a difference after only a few days. I was able to workout harder, longer and was no longer fatigued afterward. I no longer needed days off, and sometimes did a bike and a swim on the same day. I was able to get in 7 hard training sessions a week, with only one day off for rest.
And oh! What a difference it made.
I completed my next Olympic distance triathlon in 2:42, taking 33 minutes off my time. My next triathlon was the Shaver Lake Triathlon in the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
I finished the Olympic distance in 2:28 and was astonished when it was announced that I had won my age division. Even if I hadn't won, I was very pleased with the time improvements I had been achieving.
Thank you MAP.
Sincerely,
Thomas Adlard
