I began taking MAP in April and all I could do
at that point was ride my bike. I rode every day and
took MAP before each workout. I gained my
strength very quickly and competed in a sprint
distance triathlon in July. Encouraged by my results,
I had the third fastest bike split out of 3,450 women,
I entered three more races. I finished first in my age
group in two, the ones which I sent to you, and was
second female overall in the Zion, IL race sponsored
by Tri-America.
I plan to continue taking MAP as it has helped
me recover quickly as well as continue building my
strength. I am looking forward to a great season next
year!!

| Vitamin B12 Deficiency |
|
Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs frequently among
elderly people (more than 20% of the time), but it
can also affect younger people. Since the clinical
symptoms may be subtle, it is often unrecognized. A
lack of Vitamin B12 can result in:
- Fatigue
- Tiredness and apathy
- Feelings of illness
- Dizziness, vertigo
- Cognitive impairment (attributable to old age)

| Mercury in Tuna |
|
Have you sworn off tuna because most varieties
are too high in mercury to be eaten safely? Or do
you not believe it and eat it anyway?
I have found a company that has tuna with very low
mercury levels, is very high in protein and omega 3
fatty acids, and the best tasting canned tuna I have
ever tasted.

The Cause and Treatment of Achilles Tendon, Shin
Splint, and Plantar Fascia Injuries
By Dr. David Pascal
Achilles Tendonitis, Shin Splints, Plantar Fascitis --
these hard-to-treat, often career-ending injuries
strike fear in the heart of many an athlete. In this
article, you will discover how and why a little-known
and often overlooked muscle, the soleus, is the
hidden cause behind these debilitating injuries.
Injury to the soleus muscle is the primary cause
behind the majority of Achilles tendon, shin splint,
and plantar fascia injuries. Perhaps no other muscle
in the body has a more global effect on athletic
performance.
The Soleus Cascade
The soleus is the small hand-shaped muscle behind
the large calf (gastrocnemius) muscle. Most athletes
will only stretch 15-30 seconds -- long enough for
the calf to loosen, but not long enough for the soleus
to relax as well.
Over time, the soleus muscle shortens, leading to
microscopic tearing and the formation of scar tissue.
This in turn pulls on the deep flexor muscles of the
foot, which run down the inside of the leg behind the
tibia bone and in front of the Achilles tendon, then
behind the ankle bone and attach on the bottom of
the foot.
