Have any suggestions on fitness and strengthing techniques to improve performance.

Getting older is starting to suck. I also now know that drinking beer and wine with a salty dinner at the Slanted Door may dehydrate a sailor the night before too.

After the TBF, I realized that I wasn't in the mental and physical shape I need to be in to compete as well as I would like. Hard seats and aweather helm sure did drive the point home that i need work. Ok I know it may mean more cardo with some bike riding, maybe some light running, some navy style pushups and situps, some weight lifting and even some stretching. a sharp mind and strong body can really make the difference to ones own PHRF rating and reduce one's down hill number on and off the water.

what do you folks do to get ready or stay ready for the single handed races?
