Team Feat Prepping for RAAM

Our good friends TEAM FEAT is a group of four that is doing Race Across America (RAAM).  RAAM is considered to be one of the most difficult races in the world, and we are getting an inside look at the training that goes into it.  We also will be getting insider audio and video during RAAM this summer from these guys.

The latest about-to-be-released podcast has a portion of the behind-the-scenes audio from this video shoot.  The entire audio is available in the upcoming members only area; ZenTriCult. 

Enjoy and stay inspired!

Video - How Tofu is Made

This is a really cool video showing how high quality tofu is created.  The film is full of nice touches, my favorite being the guy's shirt that says, "Who's your tofu master?"

Video - Great Exercises for Hamstring and Lower Back Fitness

This video from trainer Yuri is perfect for many of us out there suffering from hamstring and lower back issues.  Like he says, do these several times every day and you'll be on your way to recovery.

Silicone Bracelets - Survey

Hey, ZenTri fans!  I'm putting in an order for silicone bracelets and wanted your input on what we should get.  These will be on sale on the site and also available for a discount or free for members of the upcoming members-only section - ZenTriCult.

Leave in the comments what kind of silicone bracelets you would prefer.  I'm looking for color and phrase.  For example, "Black with 'I see you hill' printed on it." would be great.  I can get almost any color and phrase.  Thanks!!!

Upcoming Test - Carbo-Pro vs. Perpetuem

I went all crazy on the ultra-webs yesterday and ordered Carbo-Pro to start testing it out as a training/racing fuel.  It's pretty much maltodextrin and nothing else, which has a lot of fans.  I have a lot of mediocre days mixed in with my great days, so trying different fuels is always a smart bet to see if that's the issue.

I've been using Perpetuem for a while.  It has fat and other stuff in it, which gives a lot of people mixed results.  I'm hoping to see more sustained power on long bike rides; that's where I get lethargic.
