	This week is the third seminar (of four) in the Spring Cycling 
Series.  The topic is "Training and Physiology". Whether you design your 
own training program or whether someone else is your guide, you really need 
to know what is going on to be able to be effective. If you want to know 
how to train for peak performance, whether as a racer or as a fitness 
rider, it helps to understand how the body works and how training brings 
about changes in your body. I've seen high-priced coaches "burn out" 
aspiring racers because they didn't understand and communicate basic 
information and principles. A smart rider can get the most out of a coach 
if they know more about what the coach is trying to guide and inspire them 
to do.  We will cover nutrition, hydration, supplements, and drugs (legal 
and otherwise) in addition to micro and macro physiology. This information 
is obviously of relevance to all athletes; not just bike racers.

	As always, the seminar will take place in 128 Olin Hall (Chemical 
Engineering) at Cornell Sunday morning from 10:00AM-12:00noon.  Seminars 
are free and open to anyone interested.  Pass the word to friends who might 
be interested.  All are welcome.
