How to Travel to Australia - Skins and Trigger Point

So I'm in Australia for the ITU ParaTriathlon World Championship.  I have a few days before the event on Saturday morning so I'm hanging out getting acclimated and just enjoying the awesome weather here.

The travel time from Portland, Oregon to Gold Coast, Australia is about 25 hours.  Often when I travel I end up with dead legs afterward.  However this time I tried out a few things during the flights and I'm happy to report that the legs feel awesome!  Here's what I did.

1) Wore Skins Travel and Recovery tights from the Portland airport all the way to Gold Coast.
2) Did some light Trigger Point work on my legs during each of the 3 layovers.

I assembled my bike shortly after arriving and went out for a easy ride with my roommate, Rob.  We did not do anything hard but man I felt great, which is shocking after all the travel and the time change.  We were cruising along and I said, "this nice easy pace feels great, 17 mph is nice." To which Rob reply's, "You realize we are doing 21 right?"

So if you don't already use compression gear AND Trigger Point when you travel, what are you waiting for?  Get on that!  I highly recommend the Total Body Package

Here's a sweet shot of me in SFO using the Trigger Point footballer, representing Arizona State (Go Devils!) and listening to HillSong.  Normally you would use the foam block to elevate your leg but I didn't have space to pack it so I'm improvising.
