As a physiologist for 38 years, I thought I had a clear understanding of what a heart attack looks like – boy was I wrong!  I have 12% body fat, I lift weights three times a week and I swim, bike, or run 10+ hours a week.  I don’t eat fried foods, I have never smoked or used street drugs and I get 8-10 hours of sleep every night, with 2-hour naps on the weekends.  How in the world did I not see a...

There are more variables that lead to being tired than riders and...
