"Dolphin-Human" is not just a myth

This question was asked to the Nutrition experts on the Powerbar Feb. Newsletter.

Q: I am a 35–year old Master’s swimmer who swims 20–25 miles 6x per week with five dry sessions. I wish to improve my recovery, especially muscular pain. What do you advise?

I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!

Whatever this person is eating, I want some. Sushi?

I had to break this down for myself. I average about 3,000 yards for a 1 hour swim session including warm up and cool down. If I attempted to match this super human/dolphin feat, I'd be in the pool about 11-12 hours a day even with one of those 'fast skin' swim suits. I'm pretty sure my general appearance would not be like the cute marine mammal Tursiops truncatus unless during that time in the pool, I went through an evolutionary time warp and grew a dorsal fin, a fluke tail and a single blow hole. My skin would not feel like wet slippery rubber, I'd be "Raisin Man."

I had to check the link to see if this was for real.
