Most people know that I do triathlons and try to eat healthy as I can. Recently I took a new test that we are offering at Wellness and Better Health Chiropractic. It's called Spectracell and what it does it different than typical blood tests. It actually tests how well your cells uptake vitamins and minerals. This is vastly different than standard blood tests which just determine levels. So I took this test and found out that I was defiecient in vitamins B12, Magnesium, and K. I was taken back from this, but the reality is that modern diets don't contain all we need all the time to be able to keep our bodies replenished with what it needs. I have changed my daily vitamins and am now taking some injectables to help me get back to normal. I hopefully will regain a little energy and will be faster ( I wish ). I want to remind everyone to take a good quality vitamin (
 more on this later ) and eat as many fruits and veggies as possible.

That's all for now folks, talk to you soon.

This past weekend I was able to be a part of Jack's Generic Triathlon. I have done this event 3 times and really enjoy it. Since I have done this race a few time I have an idea on how and what to do. Usually I have got in the middle towards the back when I started the race during the swim portion. Unfortunately during my last few races, my time has been slower than I can swim. I always run into groups of guys that can't swim as fast and it slows me down. So Yesterday, I decided to try something diffferent. I would get all the way at the front in the middle. It was a move that was a risky one. I could have been ran over by the faster stronger swimmers, but none the less I wanted to try something different. So I did it. 

When the swam start the madness began. In the triathlon world we call this the washtub because you get beat from all angles. I went through it for a 100 or so meters, then it leveled off and I swam. I finished the swim in my fastest time that I have swam since I got into tri's. That was cool. 

My lesson I learned yesterday can be applied towards all aspects of life. Sometimes we have to do the unexpected and take a little risk to try to better ourselves or our situation. In not all cases will it work, but if we try it, then we might experience a positive change.
