» In the wake of Sunday’s calamitous marathon, anyone who has ever run a marathon or so much as watched one is suddenly an armchair physiologist. Fortunately we have Jonathan Dugas (XXX Racing-AthletiCo) and his colleague Ross Tucker to sort the junk from the science at their outstanding Science of Sport. See entries on investigating heatstroke, mitral valve prolapse and the physiology of heat.
» As teams start to line up sponsors for 2008, it’s a good occasion to review this great Smithers post: “If you do get a sponsor then be grateful for whatever they can provide since you don’t deserve it anyway.” Read it and weep.
» On the Route is among the Trek outlets sponsoring Saturday’s Trek Breast Cancer Awareness Ride. The ride will be a casual 15 miles along the lakefront, starting at 10 a.m. at 1118 S Michigan Ave.
» Did you know we’re required to ride single-file within Chicago? I learned this and more at Jim Freeman‘s excellent Chicago Bicycle Laws blog, an offshoot of LJ’s Bicycle Blog.
» Don’t forget that Sunday is the Dick Herron Memorial Ride & Walk to commemorate the cyclists and pedestrians killed in traffic.
