3. Alan
Trive;,
execu4ve
director
of
Triathlon
Canada,
is
calling
physiologists
and
doctors
involved
in
Paula
Findlay’s
care
to
determine
how
her
case
of
iron
deficiency
could
have
been
missed
before
she
competed
at
the
London
Olympic
Games.
The
revela4on
about
Findlay’s
iron
deficiency
came
this
week
aJer
she
blogged
that
low
iron
levels
likely
had
a
“huge
impact”
on
her
disastrous
last-­‐place
finish
in
London.
She
discovered
the
problem
only
last
week
aJer
staff
at
her
new
training
base
in
Guelph,
Ont.,
ordered
the
tests
because
she
had
been
feeling
sluggish.
Findlay
says
she
saw
the
May
results
for
the
first
4me
this
week.
“It’s
pre;y
clear
that
they
dropped
a
lot,”
she
said.
“They
were
lower
than
they’d
ever
been
in
May.
And
then
in
August,
they
were
lower.”

12. Priniciples
from
the
trenches
• Prefer
simplicity
to
complexity
unless
complexity
is
totally
invisible
• What
pts
want
is
a
doctor
who
looks
them
in
the
eye
and
listens,
and
does
not
look
to
a
screen
• Very
smart
people
have
spent
a
decade
and
hundreds
of
millions
of
$
to
design
systems
of
informa4on
entry,
retrieval,
management,
processing.
Why
have
they
failed
to
find
an
overall
sa4sfactory
solu4on?
