Yesterday, i had the privilege of training with Shawn P.Normally, Shawn P. trains in isolation, to keep the latest training techniques top secret such as the "Sand Shark Start 401" done repeatedly over & over again in the Allandale Pool monday mornings. I caught up with Shawn P., "One thing, Shawn P., gives us one thing, to focus on. Shawn P took a deep breath & reluctantly, blurted out, "Hills". Do hill repeats. It not only builds the hamstrings & quads but it builds your spirit. Wow, I said. Shawn P. can you give us more. Shawn P., checked over his left shouldar and lowered his deep voice, "Ok, most runners & triathletes do hills, but the fatal mistake they make is they wear socks." Socks? Yes, they wear the incorrect socks. Shawn P, i'm not following you? What i like to do is fill my socks with pumpkin seeds. This way when i attack the hill there is that slippage action, making it harder. Shawn P. do you use wet or dry pumpkin seeds? Wet is better, but dry will do.

Very interesting training method. Seems logical. But the only problem is. Most people don’t realize, I know you all heard of athlete’s foot. Well, how about JACK O LANTERN FOOT. The only know cure is to dress up in a costume & hobble around door to door asking for candy till the swelling subsides.
