side stitch research

this article is interesting - probably the most important thing to do is breath deeply even before I start running - staying relaxed will probably help - and stretching after I get off the bike might be a good idea - maybe I can do this while running out of transition...

I also found this interesting tidbit from wikipedia: Exhale when the left foot hits the ground, and inhale when the right foot hits the ground; which is consistent with the previous article that discusses association with the liver on the right side - hmmm

and more of the same here...
