A check up from the neck up?
 
As the season draws to a close, there is much to reflect upon.  Surely there are many reasons for doing this, like channeling energy in a positive and productive direction, but perhaps the greatest reason is to acknowledge how fortunate we have been.  In the end, it really isn't about how fast, what place, or what prize, it is about being the best that you can be.  Regardless of our desired race lengths, we all share a very unique appreciation for this goal, and that is why it is so important to keep it in sight.  Yes, compared to world peace, famine, and poverty, these races are stupid, contrived and self indulgent, but that is not the point.  The point is that though not everyone out there gets it, we do, and that makes us all the winners.
 
This month, the science of speed looks at the real value in the lifestyle that we all share.
 
The science of speed combines two expert perspectives on seasonal triathlon testing, training, and racing and is sponsored by ELITE Testing (a division of ELITE Health & Wellness) (http://www.elitetesting.com), located in Philadelphia.
