How to combat Jet Lag

So I landed from my 8hr flight from Copenhagen to Dulles, VA. I had 3 1/2 days of 'nothing' in my legs, felt lathargic and generally non-interested in anything physical. Then I called up my friend Mark Sommers (World class cyclist, President at DC Velo and one of the best trademark attorneys there is) and asked if he was doing the GreenBelt training series that evening. He said: "Heck yeah! You should, too!It's the best remedy for jet lag!"

So I drove home, unpacked my bags and 3 hrs after I landed at Dulles, I found myself chasing Mark and the other 'crazies' in the cat A race at Greenbelt :) The amazing thing was I placed 5th and I'm actully 14th in the general standings so far this year. Here's the link to the site where results and other information is kept. For anyone in the DC region who loves cycling and wants to improve on the bike, check it out (thriatletes included - but no aero setups please. These guys are 'roadies' :)
