Lactate Work/crosspost.
From the P&B.....may be a bucnh of scientifical BS but what I'm hearing from folks I know still involved in the silliness that is bike racing thsi stuff pans out..in....you know... like in the
real world
and stuff.
........ the current thinking is that lactate per se isn't actually the cause of muscular fatigue. It is a fuel and actually may buffer changes in muscular acidosis and prevent fatigue (this is probably why high intensity warmup that actually generate some lactate seem to improve performance in the actual event, the lactate ends up buffering changes in acid levels).
However, Billat's thing is getting mired in a lot of semantic crap in my opinion. The old idea of the lactate or anaerobic thresholds (as originally defined) are likely garbage. However, this doesn't negate the existence of a threshold speed or intensity above which fatigue occurs very very rapidly. That it occurs is more important practially than what you call it or what is causing it.
The simple fact is that a runner may be able to maintain (and these values are pulled out of my butt)
10mph for essentially forever
10.5 mph for an hour but it works the hell out of them
11 mph and they fatigue in a few minutes
again, values are for example only.
clearly there is a criticial threshold point above which fatigue occurs rapidly. from a practical standpoint, that's essentially what the old ideas of LT/AT/OBLA/etc. were describing.
you can graph velocity versus time to exhaustion and see that kind of pattern. below some level, the athlete can go until they get bored or run out of muscle glycogen, around some point they are working very hard but can maintain speed for extended periods (cyclists will test 20' although an hour maximum time trial isa better indicator), above that point and fatigue hits like a hammer after a few minutes.
It's actually looking like H+ production (rather than lactate per se) is the cause of this. It's also turning out (going to ccrow's point) that the aerobic engine is a much bigger determinant of this than previously thought. Mitochondria buffer acid levels and the bigger the aerobic engine, the less acid is produced.
A common trend in a lot of endurance sports is going back to volumes of low intensity aerobic work with just a bit of higher intensity stuff thrown on to top off the system
(the system adapts quickly but stops adapting equally quickly, some of hte interval studies in cyclists show that 6 workouts across 3 weeks pretty uch maximizes the benefits)).
An example, there's a paper describing the training of the german track cycling team in the 1km (or was it 4k). An event last 4 minutes which most would argue is highly anaerobic.
Most of their training was easy aerobic with some stage racing and a bit of specific track training thrown in at the end.
As I recall, a typical rowing race is roughly 6 minutes and even there they are going back to volumes of low intensity work to build the aerobic engine.
There's also an old idea (Maglioscho's book gets into this) that too much high intensity training can actually degrade the aerobic engine which *might* be what the US Rowing team was experiencing: if their caoches emphasized too much work around or at LT (or high intensity intervals) and lose aerobic engine size, that could actually be detrimental.
Translation of my long-winded crap: it may be better over extended periods of training to build this engine (again going to ccrow's comment) with lower intensity aerobic work. This can be topped off with higher intensity stuff as needed.
Maybe the boxer and martial artists who did extended road work weren't so wrong after all.

Muscular acidosis is due to the hydrolysis of ATP to ATP and other substrates being used for energy in the muscles.
Basically what happens is this:
ATP + H2O → ADP(hydrated) + Pi(hydrated) + H+(hydrated) ΔG˚ = -30.54 kJ/mol (−7.3 kcal/mol)
Lactic acid is directly through the following equation (FYI pyruvate is the end result of glycolysis):
Pyruvate + NADH <-> Lac + NAD+
The reason why this doesn't actually produce a H+ ion is because pyruvate itself is already a carboxylic acid Ch3-CO-COOH which is deprotonated already at body pH. Therefore, it's already pyruvic acid (pyr- + H+ + NADH <-> Lac- + H+ + NAD+) where the H+ cancel on each side of the equation. This stoichiometric mistake was why people THOUGHT lactic acid was the cause of acidosis; however, as you can see this is not true.
Lac has a pKa of ~3.85 which means that at equilibrium in the body some of the lac will be pronated but most will have no H on the carboxylic acid. However, as the pH drops, a greater proportion of the carboxylic acid becomes pronated thus effectively buffering acidosis as described above.
Alright, here's the fun part which I was actually just discussing today with someone regarding the "lactic acid threshold." What is actually happening here is a couple of things.
Basically, what happens when intensity becomes high enough (thereby increasing demand in energy) is that the body needs to produce energy. The oxidative pathway becomes bottlenecked at pyruvate/acetyl-CoA because it cannot handle the load of NADH that is being produced. Thus, NADH accumulates.
The reason why NADH accumulating is bad is because glycolysis uses the non-hydrogenated carrying form of NADH (namely NAD+) to produce NADH. Thus, lactic acid is produced for the body to change the extra NADH back to NAD+ so that glycolysis can keep running.
Here's the brilliant illustration I thought up today. Think of the oxidative pathway as a pipe. This actual "pipe" consists of the citric acid cycle (or TCA/kreb's cycle whatever you want to call it) which consists of
10 steps
, transport of electron carrying coenzymes such in the form of NADH and FADH2 (from glycolysis and CAC) from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria along with ADP, dumping of electrons into the proteins of the mitochondria wall (the electron transport chain) whereby these proteins pump H+ across the membrane to create a H+ gradient. This gradient is then harnessed by ATP synthase to produce ATP. NAD+ and ATP must be shipped out of the mitochondria into the muscles. This takes some time obviously to get "running."
Note: this also why people with large aerobic engines are also buffered well against acidosis because their mitochondria pumping H+ across the membrane provides a greater buffering effect.
In any case, glycolysis is a simple pathway which consists of about 10 steps all of which occur in the cytoplasm. This occurs very quickly because ADP is readily available because the myosin-actin is close by and need very little transport activity.
Thus, let's take into account the scenario from the original/cross post:
10mph for essentially forever
10.5 mph for an hour but it works the hell out of them
11 mph and they fatigue in a few minutes
At 10 mph the effect of what is happening is that the glycolysis funnel (we'll just call it a funnel) dumps NADH and pyruvate into the oxidative "pipe." It can handle the capacity. Thus, it can basically run forever without getting overloaded.
What happens at 10.5 MPH when it is slightly overloaded is that there is some spill over out of the glycolytic "funnel" that the oxidative "pipe" cannot handle the total volume. Thus, what occurs is that the pyruvate is converted to lactic acid to use up the NADH converting it back to NAD+. This allows the glycolytic cycle to continue to provide energy to the muscles because there is a limited amount NAD/NADH in the body. However, since there is "little" spill over, the body can handle the pace and keep continuing.
Now we arrive at 11 MPH. What is occurring here is that there is a large spill over out of the glycolytic pipe as glycolysis consumes a lot of the muscles glycogen stores very quickly. Since there is a large spill over, the body can only convert some of the pyruvate to lac to generate NAD+. Thus, it can only keep producing a limited amount of energy as the lac keep accumulating. Eventually you will reach a point where there is too much ADP (and hence pH drops enough) that glyolysis + oxidative pathway cannot keep up to reproduce ATP. This leads to muscular failure.
Here's a nice picture I made in paint to illustrate the above (click to enlarge):
In any case, what is also interesting is the adaptations that occur because of the former scenarios.
With the 10 MPH that is sustainable, it clearly strongly work the oxidative "pipe" at max capacity for a long time. This produces a strong response on the oxidative pathway increasing mitochondria, type I fibers, and other aerobic changes which is why you NEED to do long distance work to build up a sufficient aerobic base if you ever plan on competing in elite long distance racing.
What happens here is that since there is an overflow of the glycolytic funnel, the glycolytic pathway is stressed as the glycolyticenzymes need to keep up with the rate as NAD+ is resynthesized quickly. The oxidative pathway is stressed because it is working at full capacity, but the duration is shorter than the former. What you end up with is some increases in anaerobic and aerobic qualities in the muscles.
This is the interesting concept because it shows clear "pushing" against the "lactate" threshold. So basically since there is a large overflow from the glycolytic funnel we get an extremely strong stress on the glycolytic energy pathway. This induces strong anaerobic changes in the muscles. However, since the duration is extremely short, the oxidative pathway receives little to moderate stress resulting in only poor-decent gains in aerobic fitness UNLESS this is continually pressed through for a while. For example, a HIIT session that continues after you get gassed or a metcon that keeps going a couple minutes longer after max intensity drops will help produce aerobic changes.
This is why HIIT/tabata/metcon all have the tendency to produce anywhere from mediocre to strong aerobic changes as well as strong anaerobic changes in energy pathway metabolism.
Basically, for longer duration rowers/runners/etc. this is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE because they do not need improvements in the anaerobic engines which will induce changes that will counteract their aerobic engines. This is easily observable and agrees with the OP & anecdotal evidence.
I think that's about it. Hope you learned something.

I really like some of Billat's work. My favorite running workout these days is a version of the Billat 30-30 workout where I run 200m at slightly faster than mile pace and then do 100m recoveries in the same time.
I think a workout like this with active recoveries would be better for working the oxidative pathways than a HIIT workout where you continue beyond the point where you are gassed.
While lactic acid doesn't cause fatigue, lactic threshold pace and VO2max pace are still 2 of the best predictors of performance and working at these paces is one of the best ways to improve performance.
A common trend in a lot of endurance sports is going back to volumes of low intensity aerobic work with just a bit of higher intensity stuff thrown on to top off the system.
There's 2 sides to lactic acid - how quickly is it produced and how well does your body deal with it. Training to work efficiently in the anerobic pathways isn't all that helpful if you start producing tons of lactic acid at low speeds.
Maybe the boxer and martial artists who did extended road work weren't so wrong after all.
Improvements in endurance are pretty specific to the movement done so road work probably isn't the best choice.
I've been wondering how this applies to CF. If someone is advanced would something like an "easy" Murph every other week be useful?
I've seen very little mention of active recoveries either here or on CF. B2B tabata squats might count. I think there was a video a while back with a woman doing a minute of easy jump ropes in between her intervals. I think some experimenting with workouts of this nature would be really interesting.
Billat Fran anyone?
6-8 rounds of 11 thrusters/11 pullups
In between rounds alternate 1 minute at an easy pace of run, jump rope, air squats, bike, etc.

I know that Twight used to talk about incorporating some very LSD work (very slow treadmill jogging for a couple hours, or something) with his high-intensity CF stuff in order to "blend" and be able to perform at long durations.
On the other hand I guess he eventually just went back to mostly endurance work anyway.
The interval idea has been getting passed around quite a bit lately.

Garmin-Asus nuviphone M20
With Mobile World Congress kicking off in Barcelona, Pocket-lint managed to get its hands on the recently announced nuviphone M20 from the Garmin-Asus alliance.
Like the bigger G60, the M20 brings the goodness of Garmin's PND into a mobile handset, providing territorial maps and location based services.
Unlike the G60 however, the M20 runs Windows Mobile 6.1, albeit with a heavily customised interface, recognisably similar to the G60, but with Win Mob lurking in the background, so you can get full Enterprise email support, which will appeal to some road warriors.
Expected to be available "soon", we'll let you know where you can get one once such details are released.

Don't tell anyone, but Massachusetts is kind of a big nerd. We simply love science and nature. You could say it's in our nature, with scenic roads like the lovely Mohawk Trail, 1500 miles of postcard pretty coastline, and some of America's most brilliant fall foliage. We could spend hours at the Museum of Science, the Harvard Museum of Natural History, and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, and wish we could live at the Franklin Park Zoo or maybe the Butterfly Place, surrounded by colorful creatures. And don't even get us started on the New England Aquarium, fully renovated in 2013.

This year's National Corvette Challenge race took place on February 24, at Richmond Dragway in Richmond, Virginia. While it was hardly T-shirt-and-shorts weather, it was warm enough for participants to take to the track and the show fields and get the '07 racing season started in a big way.
The weekend featured a one-day drag race featuring four different classes and, for the first time in Corvette Challenge history, a people's choice car show. The new mix was a success with 130 race entries, 54 show entries, and numerous other Corvette owners showing up to take part.
Many competitors traveled hundreds of miles to make this once-a-year event. Several racers from the Corvette Challenge regional series in New Jersey were joined by regulars from the South Carolina- and Florida-based series. One participant, Eric Oday, drove his blue '84 halfway across the country from the Houston area.
Corvettes began lining up at the Richmond Dragway gate at around 8 a.m. on Saturday. After the track was prepped, event co-organizer Steve Oyer invited all of the inexperienced drivers to the starting line for a "Drag Racing 101" session. With that done, Corvettes of every type, color, and generation began filing into the staging lanes.
The bracket-racing class proved to be the event's most popular, with a total of 80 entries. Bracket racing uses a handicapped starting procedure to ensure that driver skill-and not sheer horsepower-is the deciding factor in most races. The bracket cars would be followed by the three heads-up classes, beginning with the "baddest of the bad" Outlaw cars.
Next up was the 10.0 Index, a heads-up racing class in which drivers could go no faster than 10.0 seconds without forfeiting their run. The last class to run was the 11.50 Index. These four classes gave drivers of all speeds and skill levels the opportunity to square off against similar competition.
All race participants received a free event T-shirt, provided by East Coast Supercharging. In addition to the shirt, class winners and other high-placing competitors received a portion of the $6,450 collected from race entries and event sponsors.
Bracket Class
Sixty-seven of the 80 registered Corvettes were entered in the Bracket class, making it the day's largest and most brutally contested race category. The final round saw John Trescott, driving an '04 Torch Red Coupe, square off against local racer Ronnie Jeter, piloting a silver '75. Trescott has been racing in the Corvette Challenge in New Jersey for several years and finished 10th out of 102 drivers in 2006.
Jeter is no stranger to bracket racing, either, having campaigned his C3 at Richmond Dragway for more than 20 years. He's even won the track championship on several occasions. Jeter ran a 9.575 on a 9.56 dial-in to clinch the class win, while Trescott broke out with an 11.546 on an 11.58 dial.
Outlaw Class
The Outlaw class features Corvettes configured for all-out racing competition, the fastest of which are capable of mid-8-second quarter-miles. Unfortunately, a number of pre-registered drivers backed out of the competition in the days leading up to the event. In the end, only five Corvettes competed in the Outlaw class.
Bill Maloney from Toms River, New Jersey, took the top qualifying spot with a '97 Corvette Coupe built by The Vette Doctors in Amityville, New York. Equipped with a single rear-mounted turbo, the car ran a sensational 5.58 at 138.80 mph. (This equates to roughly an 8.78 in the quarter-mile.) Maloney has gone as fast as 8.60 in the 1320, a time he hopes to better with his most recent round of top-end tuning by the Turbo People.
Phil Corbin, driving a '91 Corvette, grabbed the second qualifying spot with a 6.09 at 114.80. Derek Yates, meanwhile, took the third spot in a red C3 owned by John Cook, running a 6.20 at 111.25.
Yates capitalized on superior reaction times to vanquish the faster cars of Alan Eckert and Maloney in the first and second rounds, respectively. Could he manage a third holeshot to take out Corbin's C4 in the final?
When the smoke settled, Yates had logged an 0.016 reaction time on a 6.20 at 111.25 run. This was good enough to put away Corbin, who managed a 0.152 on a 6.09 at 115.83 pass. Yates had taken all three rounds with holeshot victories, proving that even in heads-up racing, the fastest car is not always the winner.

An uncompromising yet life-affirming look at the lives of eight remarkable individuals--people who have found a way to make a life for themselves within the community of homelessness. The film shows how their descent into society's basement has been exacerbated by the forces of gentrification and the increasing criminalization of homeless people, while exposing the draconian changes to the mental health care system that have brought us here.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Bluetooth confusion...
I got an email from William C. who asks "Is there such a thing as a hand-held bluetooth remote control (like theinfra-red one for the RCX) that I can use with the NXT? My cell phone isn't bluetooth enabled, and I don't want to have to buy another NXT just to get the benefits of remote control."
Bluetooth confuses me, too, William. Mainly because I've never been able to get it working on my PDA (incompatible Bluetooth version). I've got a new laptop coming in a few weeks that has built-in bluetooth so I'm hoping to learn some more there.
I've got 2 NXT Bricks and have had some limited playtime with using them together, but again, I'm not an expert. If you've got some comments for William (or me) regarding bluetooth options, please share your comments with us.

I downloaded a bluetooth program in C from this website. I was able to turn a motor on and off. nice site :-)

The problem (I think) with a BT remote is it's going to be very significantly more expensive than an IR remote. Consider a BT dongle for the computer (where most of the handling of the information can be handed off into the computer) still cost about $40 US, while an IR system is much cheaper. Still, I agree it would be very nice - a BT phone is overkill where a BT remote of some type would fit the bill. Anybody?
As to NXT-to-NXT BT under NXT-G, tutorial post coming up soon...

YAY BRIAN! I was looking for a tutorial on the internet but nothing is out there. THANK YOU!
I'm confused by mailboxes and how to make two NXT talk.

A closer look at your One Bill
This guide will give you a closer look at a typical bill.
- This is the billing address for your services.
- The account number is unique to each subscriber and helps us access your account quickly when you call us. Use this number when you make payments by cheque or at the bank.
- The bill date on your One Bill may be different from the billing dates for any separate bills you had or have.
- Use your 14-digit customer ID number to pay your One Bill when you use Internet or phone banking.
- Under Your Bill, you'll see a summary of your total charges and payments, including one-time adjustments, credits and the previous balance for all your Bell services. It shows the due date and the total amount you'll need to pay by the due date to avoid late-payment charges. NOTE: If you have recently made a payment on one of your services and it is not reflected here, it will appear on your next bill.
- These boxes show you the summaries of charges for all of the Bell services you have combined on your Bell One Bill. You'll see account information and usage summaries clearly marked.
- The payment due date is the date by which you must pay your charges in full, in order to avoid late payment charges. Please be sure to make your payment early enough for us to receive it on or before the due date.
- If you are mailing in your payment, you will need to include this detachable payment stub in the envelope. Be sure to bring the stub if you pay your One Bill in person at your bank or a Bell store (for payment deposits, only with envelope provided.) The stub shows your account number, your bill date, the bill's due date and the amount due. You should write the amount you are paying in the Amount Paid box.
NOTE: you can find contact information on page 2 of your One Bill.

The idea was simple: Assemble a platoon of god-awfully powerful street Corvettes and pit them against one another on the quarter-mile strip at Atlanta Dragway. The event was conceived as an invitation-only adjunct to the YearOne Experience-a mammoth, three-day customer-appreciation event put on each year by the Braselton, Georgia-based restoration- and performance-parts retailer. To make things really interesting, we decided to invite entrants from sister magazines Mopar Muscle, High Performance Pontiac, and Corvette Fever. And to ensure that none of the participants rolled in with an alky-swilling, tube-frame ringer, we incorporated a 25-mile city/highway drive into the program.
Of an initial short list of 10 candidates, only 4 showed up in Atlanta on race day. The quartet completed the street drive unscathed, but one of the cars suffered a mechanical problem on its first dragstrip pass and was pulled from the competition. That left us a with a terrible trio of road-going ber-Vettes representing the third, fourth, and fifth generations of the car. How did they fare against the clocks, and the competition? Keep reading.
'96 coupe
With gas prices on the rise, and inflation hovering somewhere in the troposphere, Russ Buckner's LT4 coupe serves as a heartening refutation of the idea that outsize performance requires a similarly outsize investment. Hewing closely to a results-oriented build plan, the 38-year-old active-duty airman managed to accentuate the strengths of the factory-tweaked LT4 engine and create a car capable of holding its own against all but the most formidable competition.
A GMPP Hot Cam and a set of Hooker long-tube headers are the prime movers in the powertrain package, while a set of 4.10 gears enhance the C4's off-the-line urgency. Beyond that, the car remains largely stock, right down to the original throttle body and OptiSpark unit.
While the dragstrip was the venue of choice for our little get-together, Buckner regularly presses the Vette into service in a variety of competitive environments. In fact, just one day after its Atlanta Dragway appearance, the car placed Second in a YearOne-sponsored autocross held a few miles away at Road Atlanta. (The winner of that contest-a road-race-prepped C5 Z06-is featured on page 30 of this month's issue.)
After conquering the street drive with the A/C blasting ("I even got 22 mpg," said Buckner afterward), the car laid down a string of mid-12-second passes at between 111 and 115 mph. Buckner's best run of the day clocked in at 12.38 seconds at just under 115 mph-right on par with a stock (if exceptionally well-driven) C5 Z06. Now that's the kind of transportational efficiency we could get used to.

The Writing Center offers free writing assistance for undergraduates, graduate students and faculty from any discipline. Consultants trained in the practice of effective writing and writing instruction offer one-on-one sessions to facilitate writers' work on assignments.
The Writing Center is a collaborative environment designed to help students produce sharper, more critical thinking and a greater sense of audience as they write. Writing Center consultants encourage students to connect with their work, to invest in it and to take better ownership of their thinking and the subsequent writing that they produce. Weak writing is characterized by weak thinking and exacerbated even more by the distance between the writing task and the student writer. Negotiating this distance is hard work made all the more difficult when students labor in isolation. Working with a consultant the Writing Center helps overcome this isolation and helps students to view their work as meaningful expressions of their thinking.
The Writing Center offers appointments as well as assistance on a drop-in basis. Online services are available to students enrolled in distance learning courses and for students who are otherwise unable to make it to campus for face-to-face consultations.
For more information, visit the Writing Center on the Web or call (804) 827-8108.

This guide is meant to guide students through some of the information covered ENG 1101 Research Instruction Sessions, and as a general resource for students who are interested in an introduction to using the library and conducting scholarly research.
Accessing Library Resources
Activating Your Library Card
In order to check out books or access online content from home, all library users must activate their library card at the beginning of each semester. To do this, simply take your City Tech ID card, along with a copy of your schedule or bursars receipt to the Circulation Desk. This should only take a few minutes.
Using The Library Catalog
To locate books, periodicals and multimedia in the library's collections, you will start with the library catalog, accessible on the library's home page.
Getting Started With Library Research (a step-by-step tutorial)
Finding Books Using the Catalog
Requesting Books From Other Libraries
Using Databases To Find Appropriate Resources
Database content is accessible from City Tech computers, and to City Tech library card holders from off campus.
Instructions for Using Databases From Off-Campus
Finding and Evaluating Information on the Internet
While it is easy to determine the authorship and authority of resources held by the library, using the internet to locate information about your topic can take a little more work. We will be developing tutorials to help you along with this topic soon, in the meantime, take a look at one of the following resources:

Wallpapers: VW XL-1
Treat your desktop to some hi-res images of the amazing eco-Veyron
Posted: 07 Feb 2014
This weeks wallpapers are dual purpose. Aside from being rather excellent desktop decoration, they're also a pixely crystal ball. As the car in question, the VW XL-1, is... the future.
It's an eco-supercar that strives for one thing and one thing only: efficiency. The VW designers went to extraordinary lengths to makes sure it was as light as possible, slippier than a greased eel and a stingy fuel-sipper.
What they ended up with was a two-seat diesel-electric hybrid that can do 313mpg, with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain that coughs out just 21g/km of CO2. But what's even better is that all these eco-gubbins are wrapped in a package that looks like it's landed from space.
Recently Tom Ford took the amazing XL-1 across Britain, leaving him describing it as an 'eco-Veyron'. But to photograph such a beguiling car we required a desolate, remote and outer space-like backdrop. We needed Yorkshire.
You can see the fruits of our labour above, where you can also download hi-res versions and slap them onto your computer's background. Just scroll through, click the pic and size that takes your fancy and right click it to your desktop background.

SINGING schoolchildren joined thousands of flag-waving revellers as the Olympic Torch's Cumbrian odyssey reached Ambleside.
Crowds began gathering from mid-afternoon as anticipation mounted ahead of the historic moment.
Greeted by cheers and applause, torch bearer Tom Wright, 15, of St Bees, passed the Olympic flame onto Windermere's Stephanie Booth as it reached Borrans Park at around 6.20pm.
The beaming 14-year-old Lakes School pupil, nominated by her head teacher, told the Gazette it was the 'best moment' of her life.
"I was quite nervous but very excited," she said.
"Everyone was really friendly and happy.
"It's been the best experience."
Sports-mad Stephanie is a keen swimmer and participant of triathlon and cross-country events and will compete alongside her sister in this weekend's Great North Swim.
Her proud mother Christine said: "I didn't sleep last night, I was so excited for her.
"I'm just really unbelieveably proud of her.
"The last week has been a little bit overwhelming.
"She was determined to be involved in the Olympics and this could be the closest she gets."
Spectators Gordon Allatt and Norma Pearson made the trip from Northampton especially to see the torch.
And Mr Allatt was thrilled when he got to touch it.
"I'll never wash this hand again," said an emotional Mr Allatt.
"The Olympics is one of those things that brings the country together and makes us feel good."
Mrs Pearson added: "I think it's absolutely great and I shall be watching the Games every day while they're on."
Children from Ambleside, Hawkshead, Langdale and Coniston primary schools performed a song especially-assembled for the occasion as the torch made its way to Waterhead to board the Bowness-bound vessel, the Tern.
It was helped on its way by a flotilla, christened Brathay's 'whalers', as other boats sounded their horns in tribute.
Marj Waddecar, of Ambleside, who was looking on, said: "I was born in the year Britain last held the Olympics so I thought I ought to come down and see the torch this time.
"It's good we have got the Olympics and let's just hope there's a bit of a spin-off for tourism in areas like this."
Visitor Julianne Harlow, of Brighton, added: "It's a really big event that we won't be seeing in this country again and, rightly or wrongly, a lot of money has been invested in it."
People were invited to write goodwill messages about the Games for inclusion in an eye-catching yellow 'balloon tree'.
The Kendal Windows on Art project was led by Pam Williamson, who said: "I have worked with older people, schoolchildren and members of the public, asking them to send their messages to welcome the torch from Ambleside to London and the rest of the world."
The balloons were given to children after the torch passed through and the messages will now go on display at Ambleside Library before featuring in a special opening ceremony at this year's Ambleside Sports.
The Borrans Park festivities were organised in part by Barry Porter, of Rufty Tufty's, Ambleside.
Mr Porter said: "I thought it would be a really positive thing for Ambleside - it really profiles the area.
"Anything that builds up Ambleside is great for local businesses and local people. The kids are really enjoying it."
An Olympic Torch relay celebration, titled On the Night Shift, presented by Kendal Arts International, takes place on The Glebe, Bowness, tonight.
A VERY small Beatrix Potter drawing has sold for nearly £50,000 at an auction in America.
The three-and-three-quarter inches by six inches ink and watercolour had been expected to sell for up to 37,500 at the Sotheby's auction, in New York, but reached £47,438
The miniature, called 'Guinea pigs going to their garden...' was among 193 original illustrations sold by wealthy American couple, Kendra and Allan Daniel. The painting depicts four guinea pigs following a fifth along a path carrying garden tools.
A spokesman for Sotheby's said: "Early in 1893, when she was in her twenties, Beatrix Potter borrowed a number of guinea pigs from her friend, Miss Paget. One, named Mr Chopps, proved to be no problem but another, named Queen Elizabeth, apparently 'took to eating blotting paper, pasteboard, string and other curious substances and expired during the night. A pair of gardening illustrations date from this time: four guinea pigs following a blue-coated guinea pig and four guinea pigs working under the guidance of the blue-coated guinea pig.
"These were later redrawn in 1922 and used in Potter's book Cecil Parsley's Nursery Rhymes."

By Kathryn G. Menu; Photography by Michael Heller
On Saturday morning last week, a group of volunteers left Sag Harbor in two ambulances and another SUV, headed to Queens to offer relief and supplies to the residents of Broad Channel and Far Rockaway.
What they saw when they arrived were neighborhoods literally devastated by Hurricane Sandy and the nor'easter that followed the week after the super storm made landfall in southern New Jersey. It was a stark contrast to the damage inflicted on most of the East End, where erosion, power outages and gas shortages marked a majority of the impact Sandy had on this part of Long Island. Further west, lives were changed forever, many washed away with rising floodwaters.
It was for this very reason that over a week ago Sag Harbor Ambulance Corps President Ed Downes, having just received a brand new ambulance purchased solely through donations, decided to give its 2002 modular ambulance to the Broad Channel Volunteer Fire Department, located on a narrow channel island connecting Queens and the Rockaways.
His effort was quickly doubled by Sag Harbor Village Police Chief Tom Fabiano, who spent four days packing the ambulance with canned goods, dog food, water, blankets and other supplies.
On Saturday morning three emergency service personnel and a photographer joined Downes and Fabiano on the trip west. As soon as they turned off the Cross Island Parkway and onto Cross Bay Boulevard, which took the group down through Howard Beach and into Broad Channel headed towards the Rockaways, much changed. Traffic lights were out, but roads were busy — cars negotiated intersections by being patient with each other. Travelling over the bridge to Broad Channel, debris and leaves had climbed over five and a half feet up a chain link fence — a watermark for how high the tide rose.
"The streets were covered in mud and had debris all over them," said photographer Michael Heller. "You could see they had tried to clear them, but there was stuff literally everywhere. We saw a boat in the middle of a median. The houses that were totally wrecked were closer to the ocean, but you could see a lot of the ones still standing sustained a lot of water damage. I am sure they all had to be gutted."
As the journey took them onto Noel Road, where the Broad Channel Fire Department headquarters resides, generators were posted on corners and a large police presence was found in the area.
When they arrived, a volunteer with the department, Tom Moss, greeted the group at the department headquarters, a small building that had clearly been flooded significantly during the storm.
"They had both of their ambulances out, but they were ruined and they had another on site that needed some work," said Downes. "One of their fire trucks was incinerated from the inside out because of a short during the flooding. They had another truck, usually just for parades, in service and another on loan."
"It really hit you hard how lucky we got and how horrible some of the things are these people have to go through," said Chief Fabiano. "Some don't have anything left, others have been without power for weeks. It was very sad."
"Hurricane Sandy wiped out every vehicle we have — fire trucks, engines, fly cars, boats — we lost everything," said Broad Channel Fire Department Lieutenant Frank Pasterak. "We put out some feelers to try to get some help from out of state companies, and Sag Harbor was one of the first ones to come back to us … Sag Harbor's ambulance is definitely a big home run for us to get back in service — it's helping us out a lot."
According to Lieutenant Pasternak, the response for aid has been overwhelming.
"Whatever we needed, we got — clothes, food — everyone has helped us out with everything," said Pasternak. "We're overstocked with everything, and everyone in town is getting what they need right away. Not just the city and the state; there are other countries, like Ireland, who sent some workers down to help."
Chief Tracey Moccio said she was "eternally grateful" for Sag Harbor's donation.
Despite the devastation, Lieutenant Pasternak said the department was already back up and running, and was needed through the region. While the ambulance was being delivered, it received its first call, for a man up the block with a nail in his chin.
Moss would take the team south to Breezy Point, where they spent an hour unloading the supplies Chief Fabiano had collected in Sag Harbor. The clothing was later transported back to Broad Channel after a woman with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) informed them she was no longer accepting clothing. Four trailers were already filled to the brim.
"I am just really grateful for everyone in the village who donated towards this cause," said Chief Fabiano. "This kind of experience really wakes you up. I don't even want to think what would have happened if we sustained a direct hit. We were very fortunate."
This group is one of many from East Hampton and Southampton that have dedicated themselves towards the relief effort. A Saturday night benefit concert at LTV Studios in East Hampton, organized by local musicians and government leaders like Suffolk County Legislator Jay Schneiderman, raised over $34,000 that will directly benefit organizations like the Salvation Army and Island Harvest in their relief efforts.
Sag Harbor's Wendy Tarlow and her partner, Claudia Patino, have also dedicated themselves to the relief effort since their televisions first started working a few days after Hurricane Sandy passed.
"It was right away we knew we had to do something," said Tarlow.
Patino was literally rebuilding houses in Island Park, N.Y. on Monday and began recruiting helpers on Tuesday via Facebook.
The two have also organized several relief drives, most recently putting together backpacks filled with supplies for schoolchildren. Residents can bring donations to Our Gig Two Whatever, 56 Main Street in Sag Harbor.
East End Cares is a group of local residents dedicated to providing relief for residents in the Rockaways, Staten Island and New Jersey. Using a Facebook page, the organization has been a focal point for volunteers on the East End lending a hand further west. It can be accessed by visiting www.facebook.com/groups/
"The reality is this kind of relief effort is going to need to go on for several months," said Tarlow. "People lost everything. It's time for us to help them rebuild."

Theater Review: A great American story well toldBy Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | September 01,2013Photo by Tim Fort
The courtroom scene is enacted in the Weston Playhouse production of To Kill a Mockingbird, presented through Sept. 11.Its truly a classic when the story of a 1935 incident that was made into an iconic 1962 film remains as powerful deeply touching consciences and hearts as it did was when it was written in 1960.
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lees story of growing up in the American South, continues to deeply move virtually all who come in contact with it, whether it be the original novel, the film starring Gregory Peck or on stage.
Weston Playhouse Theatre Company on Friday opened a production of To Kill a Mockingbird that delivered all that power the humor, the tenderness, the tragedy and the hope.
As told by the adult Jean Louise Scout Finch, she and brother Jem discovered one summer just the man their father was. As a single father nearing 50, and a lawyer, Atticus wasnt much fun, and consequently not a father to admire.
When Atticus is called upon to defend a black man accused of raping a white woman, the children first see a side of their neighbors that they had never imagined. Though harboring no prejudice of their own, these youngsters cannot understand why their father would risk his reputation over an unimportant field hand. But they are soon to find out.
Told simply, through the eyes of Scout, this beautiful story unfolds with vignettes of life in a rural town exposing the worst and best of human nature. And Weston Playhouse, using Christopher Sergels second adaptation, brings that story and its characters home. (Unlike the first, Sergels second version employs the adult Jean Louise as narrator).
Directed by Malcolm Ewen, one of Westons three longtime producing artistic directors, the production enjoys a particularly fine cast. James Lloyd Reynolds gave Atticus the quiet moral authority that makes this character both admirable and emotionally affecting. Elizabeth, as the adult Jean Louise Finch, was gracious and inviting as the narrator.
Still, this story is really about children, and the production benefited for three fine locals.
Kelsey McCullough, 12, of Rutland, a participant in Rutland Youth Theatre, was a brash, feisty and believable Scout. Andrew Foster and Isaac Freitas-Eagnan, both members of Brattleboros New England Youth Theatre, were convincing and impressive as Jem and friend Dill, respectively.
There wasnt a single character that wasnt well cast and effective. More importantly, the ensemble was nearly seamless and seemed totally natural.
Stephen Lee Anderson was particularly menacing as Bob Ewell, while Theresa Kloos effectively conveyed daughter Mayellas fear and being overwhelmed on the witness stand.
Also very effective and touching was Christopher Donahues portrayal of Atticus poor client, Walter Cunningham, who is called to task by Scout for his part in a lynching party. Donahue did double duty as a quietly dignified Boo Radley.
Weston veteran Barbara Lloyd was delicious as the antagonistic Mrs. Dubose, while Susan Haefner, another veteran, represented sanity as Maudie Atkinson. Thursday Farrar was the Finchs exasperated housekeeper, Calpurnia.
There were moments Friday night where the timing felt a bit clumsy, such as the final fight scene, but they were almost unnoticeable and should be cleared up by the time anybody reads this.
The quasi-realistic but evocative set was by Blair Mielnik, with authentic-looking costumes by Barbara Bell and dramatic lighting by Ann Wrightson. The subtle and effective sound design and original music was by Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen.
Weston Playhouses To Kill a Mockingbird is simple and beautiful storytelling and what a story!
Weston Playhouse
Weston Playhouse Theatre Company presents Harper Lees To Kill a Mockingbird, adapted for the stage by Christopher Sergel, Aug. 29-Sept. 11 at Weston Playhouse, 12 Park St. (off Route 100) in Weston.

and going back to FMHF's post in Coach Sommer's book on gymnastics (Gymnastic Bodies) he speaks of his athletes being 120-140 benching as much as local powerlifters while being half the size. Gymnasts are p4p the strongest athletes.
re: your comment on lifting vs running I agree to an extent. I'd say that strength training is the BEST tool for longevity however not the bodybuilding variety. Read the link I posted by Steve Maxwell he breaks it down very well. however, running long distances is a VERY important measure of overall health because it's your body measuring stick for cardio and systemic circulation and that's essentially what health means
