Hello Everyone -
My name is Andrew and I live in Colorado Springs. For my Final assessment in Biology I am assigned a project dealing with homeostasis in a human body and how our bodies are able to cope with challenges (ie high altitude, energy drinks, scuba diving... ect). Since I am into small triathlons and my brother has been to Ironman Hawaii three times, I decided to do my project on how the human body is able to cope with an Ironman.
The reason I am posting this message is because I am stumped/cutious how our bodies are able to deal with this task. How does our body work in order to function in order to get through a 2 mile swim, a 114 mile bike, and a marathon... all in one day? Please help me understand how we are able to do this or if there are any good sites I may be able to reach on the topic. Thank you
