I've always felt like taking naps right after a hard workout in the gym or on the water. However i fought my urge for 2 reasons; one, i didn't have the time, two, i didn't want to waste my free time.<br /><br />However a thought occured to me a month ago that 'perhaps it speeds up my recovery' or th...

Hey mark!<br />I watched your race and cheered a bit but i had to leave at 1000m left to get ready for my race after yours.<br /><br />Your coxies their were really giving it!
