You get a checkup and learn that, aside from feeling run down/weak/off you're in perfectly good health. Friends tell you to try a supplement or vitamin yet nothing works. Colleen shares information that may help!

Lori Hoechlin of REV Cycling sure opened some eyes when she chose Alpe d'huez as her summit of choice for an Everest Challenge. Hoechlin rode 8 repeats up the famed climb and her timing could not have been better! The Tour de France was passing through two days after her attempt so Lori built a tremendous fan base with each push to the summit. What a great story from a wonderful rider!
