Seemed like every time we had a tough choice to make out on the trail, it turned out to be a mini-disaster. Eventually, I began adding "What could go wrong?" after each decision.

Knowing how our leaders have tackled "Border Security", the "War on Poverty", and the "War on Drugs", how much faith do you have in their "War on Supplements"? Read more here.

Insert: What could go wrong?

Thanks to USA Swimming for sharing this funny...they don't really believe, do they?

In case you haven't seen them, here are the UT men's Orange/White meet results. No, they weren't tapered/shaved.

Coach Reese recently spoke at the TISCA coaches' clinic in Austin. As usual, he was both entertaining and informative. His best "stuff" comes when he's gone off on a tangent, then follers that with another tangent (or three).

Check out combined results from yesterday's North Texas pentathlon meet.

If you are depressed, you are living in the past.

If you are anxious, you are living in the future.

If you are at peace, you are living in the present.

Athletic Foodie Update

via Athletic Foodie

Olympic swimmer turned stunt cyclist Garrett Weber-Gale gives us the latest on his business in this Swimming World article.

Great results ain't easy, easy results ain't great.

SW: When did the idea for AthleticFoodie spring to mind?

GWG: We started AthleticFoodie in 2009, as a way to start helping athletes learn about sports nutrition, and use it to not only feel better, but improve overall performance. AthleticFoodie began as a blog that published nutrition content, a place where we shared healthy recipes, and put on events with sports teams and schools.

AthleticFoodie snacks became an idea in 2014 after interviewing over 120 athletes and their parents about the things they struggle with, regarding nutrition and performance. It was obvious that the parents didn’t have much time, and were not sure how to best fuel their athletes. The athletes also didn’t know much about nutrition, and it became apparent that we could really help them.

We came up with the concept of shipping snacks, designed specifically for a swimmer’s performance, directly to the swimmer’s doorstep. It has been amazing to hear such positive responses from the athletes and parents around the country who are shipped AthleticFoodie snacks. We knew this would be a way that we could help many athletes achieve better performance, while also making parents’ lives easier.
