Famous quotes by Michael Flynn:

"Rest days are as important as training days, and it's important for endurance athletes to speak with their personal physicians about their routine. Athletes also should be aware of this post-exercise window of opportunity, continue to eat right and take precautions around others who are sick."

"There is still a lot to learn about how exercise affects the immune system, because it's difficult for researchers to assess the many layers of protection within the system. Strenuous or prolonged exercise seems to suppress the immune system, leaving athletes more susceptible to illness for one to six hours following a hard workout - the so-called open window."

"Exercising during the cold and flu season will help people stay in shape, and most likely fight off colds or reduce the number of days a person is ill. The cold season should not be an excuse for the average person to refrain from exercising - working out at the gym, a brisk walk in the park or a jog through the neighborhood."

"The sales continued to be strong. It's been a while since we had the typical downturn. But the domestic industry is having real trouble making money in this market. Unit sales have been good. Everything else has been problematic."

"[BikeNZ High Performance Director Michael Flynn was impressed with Ulmer's ride.] It was an excellent performance by Sarah, ... She has trained locally since coming back from overseas and she just loves competition."

"Our full attention with Sarah now shifts to qualification for and then competition in the Commonwealth Games."

"We certainly didn't want Sarah racing if her preparation has been compromised,"

"Right now, they are asking people not to travel to the area and not to send material goods."

"We will wait until there is a request for help. That way, we can meet specific need. We want to have a targeted response."

"It's a lot of hard work, and it's a lot of long days, and it's physically and emotionally draining, ... But we have a strong team, and everybody looks out for everybody."
