Travel Risks for Endurance Athletes: Or How Being Healty Can Kill You

One of the benefits of being the editor of my triathlon club’s newsletter is that some great material comes across my (virtual) desk. One of our members, Dr. Al Delaney, is both an MD and a scientist. He also runs a practice ’Rehab to Racing‘ with his wife Mary which is aimed at rehabilitating injured athletes so they can get back to competition.  Al wrote an article for the September 2007 TriCATs newsletter that I am reproducing here. As someone who travels for a living, it has important advice which all endurance athletes – even duffers like me – need to be aware of. I for one am taking aspirin before my flights.
