some great reads there Trux, thanks.
One concern about sodium bicarb, I regularly feed it to my horses before intense workouts with the intent to help absorb lactic acid. (Its common for a high spirited performance horse to cramp up or as we say "tie-up" near the end of their workout.) It has been brought to my attention that the absorbing of lactic acid by sodium bicarb builds CO2 in the body, and if we are training while in apnea, this might pose a problem for us. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks.... Tony
