Monday, May 21, 2012 Recipe: Watermelon, Mozzarella, Mint & Basil Salad
The camaraderie at training camps, group rides, and masters swim workouts inspires me to go all out. Other times, an athlete’s life on the road gets lonely. The 2009 Nevis ITU Triathlon was one of those times.

I'm not a huge meat eater and, I confess, I have never cooked a steak. While my aversion to red meat benefits my heart and the planet, it occasionally leaves me low on iron. And when I’m low on iron, a flat 30-minute jog seems like running a hilly 10K race in a tank of molasses.
Looking for a scientific explanation for my occasional iron deficiency, I emailed Robert Kunz, the vice-president of science and technology at First Endurance, a sports supplement maker and one of our sponsors.
