Sleep!

I posted an info-graphic on recovery of high performance athletes and the need for lots and lots of sleep.  Here's a graphic journal of a workshop where sleep was emphasized to improve creativity.  (Plug here for the graphic artist, Deb LeFrank)  It turns out that sleeping in is encouraged!

The Huff Post has a bunch of articles about the importance of sleep.

Why have I spent my life getting up at 5am to row?  It is gorgeous to be on the water and watch the sun rise - but I'm rethinking the balance of doing that every day.  I'm building more sleep into my routine!

Back at Training Camp

Okay.  So I'm back at spring break training camp to train specifically for a race in early April.  I've rowed 3 times in the last two days, and I am fatigued!  So I went looking for information about fatigue and training and found this great info graphic about sleep.

Turns out that sleep is our best training tool!
