Wetsuits, do they really work?

There was a study done in 2003 showing athletes that used a wetsuit vs none wetsuit had 11% lower avg heart rate during swim and increased efficiency in a subsequent 10min bike TT by 12%! Now if this same study was done on D1 swimmers the results would most likely be different. I was not a D1 swimmer, therefore I will wear my wetsuit!

Yum Chochlate Milk

A study in 2006 done by Dr Jason Karp and colleagues showed that Chocolate Milk was significantly better than most post workout carbohydrate drinks! Keep in mind that your milk choice should be low in fat, because the higher the fat content is the slower the absorption rate of the carbohydrate. Drink up!
