Boy was it close. There was a bout 3 inches difference between first and second place.

What could that second place horse have done in that mile or so of endeavor? What little bit extra could have won that race? How much extra energy or endurance did that horse need? 5%, 10%??

For three inches in a mile race, horse needed less than 5% more performance to win.

What about a high school track star? How much extra do they need to go to Olympics?

Probably about 5% more energy; 5% more mental clarity.

Let’s back up in time.

When high school student [or professional athlete] sat in dressing room, what were they breathing? When they were at home in their bedroom, what were they touching?

Most people exposed to mold or some pollutants will show somewhere between 5-10% performance loss.

This is due to: 1. Slightly impaired oxygen uptake 2. Scrambled neurotransmitters that confuse muscle tissue 3. Interference with chemical cycles in production of energy 4. Mental acuity interference

Mold

Molds give off chemicals that mimic natural signal chemicals in body. These chemicals can cause confusion inside body. An athlete needs focus not confusion.

Mold loves moist buildings. Can you think of anything wetter than a high school dressing room? And many homes have wet basements or attics.

So if you get rid of mold in athletes dressing room and home you can gain 5-10% extra performance, right? Well almost.

RV Rentals are a great way to travel by RV without actually owning one. You can vacation, see new places and learn more about your RV lifestyle firsthand. It's a good idea to rent an RV before you buy.

Here are some tips for renting an RV:

Plan where you want to go. Consider places you want to see, and how much time you have. Depending on season and popularity of your destination, you may need to make campground reservations.

Decide on right mix of travel time and stopping time. We suggest you allow some "down" time with no particular agenda. Moving everyday or constantly driving long distances, leaves little time to relax or fully explore your destinations.

Remember interests of everyone going on trip. Perhaps you have a mental picture of enjoying great outdoors, fishing in peaceful solitude. You envision old-fashioned good times and bringing family closer together. Before you get too carried away...make sure rest of family is on same wavelength. Otherwise, your trip will be less than ideal.

Consider type of RV you want to rent. If you can rent a model that is similar to one you are considering for your RV lifestyle, your "trial" will be more realistic. Most RV Rental companies rent motorhomes. Class C "cab over" motorhomes are typical, but smaller class B (camper vans) and larger Class A motorhome rentals are often part of line-up.

Pop-ups (tent campers) can be rented from many places. Towable fifth wheels and trailers may not be as prevalent, but can be found at a growing number of companies.

And many companies rent RV units designed to tow large gear (some brand names include Fun Mover, Toy Hauler and Raptor), which have space in back of unit for motorcycles, ATVs, golf carts, maybe equipment or inventory you use in a job on road. More lifestyle choices!

Research RV Rental Locations: Are you going to rent near your home? Or will you travel to a pick up location?

What are you going to bring? This might make a difference in where you go, as well as where to rent. Note that many RV rental companies rent RV livability packages -- which include kitchen utensils, pots and pans, linens, towels, and like. Some also rent bicycles, folding chairs and grills. And some RV rental companies accommodate fly/drive renters by providing helpful transportation from a nearby airport.
