<p>You go, Mini.</p>

<p>On a related note, I think this article about Lance Armstrong’s physiology is interesting: </p>

<p>

Armstrong possesses a large, strong heart that can beat more than 200 times a minute operating at maximum capacity and pump an exceptionally large volume of blood and oxygen to his legs—only around 100 other men on earth, who have been tested, have comparable abilities and only two other competitive cyclists whom Coyle has tested in the past 20 years have even come close to Armstrong’s 200 heartbeats per minute.</p>

<p>If a normal male college student were to train at a grueling pace for two or more years, the student’s maximum oxygen uptake would not increase above 60 ml/kg/min—Coyle estimates that even if Armstrong became a couch potato, his would not dip below 60 ml/kg/min.</p>
