Doctors have commented that I have a large lung capacity and a large heart which is great for me, but I think I'll take your advice when I go for a check up next week. Wow, thanks for the message.

About 3 months ago I was at my office and suddenly felt TINGLING and pressure in both of my arms that would not go away. . . Long story short it was a medium-sized heart attack! I know what you're thinking, "I'm young, an athlete, eat right, train right", blah, blah, blah. Well me too. Just had a good physical, NO family history, NO smoking, NO high cholesterol, NO blood pressure issues NO symptoms EXCEPT FATIGUE. Which I wrote off to increased training, full-time job, and just general day to day in NYC. Angioplasty, 2 stents (in an 80% blocked artery!) and 3 days in the hospital have "fixed" me with 25% more blood pumping to my heart. All the docs say i will be better than before. . .eventually. no Marathon in 2009 for me, will go for 2010 I'm sure I'm just a freak and you are fine. . . but maybe check it out just in case. a "coronary calcium scan" perhaps? so on that note. . . good luck in the Philly Tri. I'll be watching your progress on your road to Kona! Dude,
