The limiting factor in racing in any sport is the time that it takes to get enough oxygen into your muscles to burn food for energy, so anything that requires less oxygen allows you to race faster. Sugar stored in muscles, called glycogen, requires less oxygen than fat or protein. Anything that helps you keep sugar in muscles longer gives you greater endurance. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"http:\/\/www.reporternews.com\" href=\"http:\/\/www.reporternews.com\/news\/2010\/jun\/29\/abilene-to-colorado-just-to-prove-he-could\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Abilene to Colorado, just to prove he could<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nby Abilene Reporter-News<br \/>\nMany people had not seen a recumbent bicycle, so they were interested.
