One of my goals when I turned 40 was to start doing triathlons. It's been going really well, but to be honest, no matter how much training I do it's still obvious that I'm not 21 anymore, especially when I try and get out of bed after a big race. I find that getting a massage after a big race really helps me to be able to move more freely and sleep easily, without waking up feeling sore and tender all over. This blog has some of my research about the therapeutic uses of massage in post event recovery and training.
