Train at night, it's okay
From the New York Times:
"While experts generally recommend not exercising immediately before bedtime, most studies have found that it has no negative effects on sleep."

Nutrition - omega 3 and omega 6
Just something that caught my eye, from trifuel.com:
Explaining the Importance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in the Training Diet.
Essential fatty acids (EFA) are necessary in proper brain and nervous system function and for building new cells. Although they are essential for good health, these fatty acids cannot be made by the body. We must obtain EFA from dietary sources. The two primary EFAs are the omega-3 and omega-6. Plant derived omega-3 fatty acid is called alpha-linolenic acids, marine derived omega-3 is also know as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Omega-6 fatty acids are also called linoleic acid.
The role of EFAs in human nutrition has long been recognized. Research links EFA intake with reduced risk for coronary heart disease (CHD), improving blood cholesterol levels and regulating the inflammation. This is beneficial for all individuals, regardless of physical activity level. However there is recent evidence, of great interest to triathletes, demonstrating a link between intake of EFA and improved fatty acid metabolism with increased fat oxidation and reduced fat synthesis. This could be good news for triathletes, so let’s take a closer look at the research and the benefits of EFAs.

Body composition - ironmanlive
From: http://vnews.ironmanlive.com/
"Each body composition method has its own set of “pros and cons”. Regardless of the method used, the percent body fat number you see is not an absolute. It is an estimate and there is room for error. It is for this reason body composition should be viewed as a “range” instead of just a number. Also, be consistent in how you monitor your body composition values. You cannot truly compare the results from skin fold measures with those that taken from a BIA scale. It’s like comparing granny smith apples to red delicious apples…they are the same but still very different.
If you’d like more information on nutrition tips to help reduce body fat, check out the 2005 article
“A Realistic Look at Weight Loss: Body Composition Adjustment.”

Huskisson Accomodation
ACCOMMODATION PACKAGE
Over the weekend of the Huskisson Triathlon, for any or all of the three nights from Friday10th to Sunday 12th February.
We can take four people in two twin share rooms in our 2 year old home, with dinner and breakfast included at a price of $80pp per night. As an ex triathlete, I am aware of competitors' dietary needs so the Saturday night dinner would involve a lot of pasta, salads and fruit -and breakfasts can be tailored to individuals' needs. If people are interested in staying over after the race, I can put on a barbecue, with plenty of opportunity for re-hydration. Competitors would have use of a bathroom with shower and spa. Our garden backs directly on to a golf course and we have a full size snooker table for people to use and I would be quite happy to provide a bit of local knowledge with a guided tour of the course. (For your information, the bike course is mainly flat with some smallish hills on Jervis Bay Road, while the run leg is as flat as a tack, mostly along a beachfront walking/cycling track).
If any of your club members are interested, I can be contacted either by e-mail or by phone
on 4443-7593 James McArdle
