THE MAN IN THE MIRROR

BY BOB BABBIT T

T

The room is 90 square feet and, when he works out, he simulates the toughest race-day conditions by pumping up the temperature to 100 degrees and the humidity to 100 percent . He trains by riding his bike on a CompuTrainer and running on a treadmill.

With the right software, he can simulate the elevation profile of any bike or run course on the triathlon circuit. His swimming is still not great; but there is little doubt that, after winning the Ironman 70.3 in Oceanside in April and then following that with a win at the Ironman 70.3 North American Championship in St. George, Utah, in May, he just might be the best cyclist and runner in his sport right now.

After getting hit by cars four times while out training on his bike, the Windsor, Ontario, resident moved his training indoors for safety reasons; but the byproduct is that he is now faster and stronger than ever before.

At St. George, he came out of the 1.2-mile swim 4:30 down to the leaders, caught everyone during the 56-mile bike ride, including ubercyclist and 2014 Ironman World Champion Sebastian Kienle of Germany. He built on his 25-second lead out of transition during the 13.1-mile run and ended up with his most important win as a professional triathlete. As he crossed the finish line, his dad was there to embrace him and the two were both in tears.

What the finish-line crowd witnessed was a very special moment between a father and his son. If they knew the backstory, they would have realized how very special this moment really was.

Lionel Sanders was a talented runner in high

school; but at the end of his senior year and into college, he changed.

“I got into serious partying,” he admits. “That’s where my personality came out. I got into it a little too extreme and got to the point where I couldn’t get out of it. I needed drugs to feel much of anything.”

The personality traits that now make him great as a professional triathlete fueled Lionel’s destructive nature as he got deeper and deeper into alcohol and drugs. He used money his parents had set aside for his college years to feed his substance abuse and he spent the next four years fueling his addictions.

“Then I became ashamed,” he continues. “I started to hate myself. When I brushed my teeth, I wouldn’t look at myself in the mirror because I was ashamed of what I was doing and what I was becoming. When you feel shame inside…deep, deep shame… you feel uncomfortable in your own skin. I ended up hating myself and hating my life. I was destroying my body. I had this great family who gave me every opportunity, and here I was just pissing it all away.”

One day, Sanders decided to get back to his roots and went for a run. “Even though I felt like crap,” he says, “I ran every day for a solid month.”

Then he decided, out of nowhere, that he wanted to do an Ironman Triathlon. “I had no idea what an Ironman actually was,” he laughs.

“I had to Google ‘Ironman’ to figure out what I’d be doing.”

He convinced his mom to put her credit card down for an entry into the 2010 Ironman

Louisville and, since he didn’t have any money or a car, Mom and Dad drove him to the race, took care of the hotel room and bought him his first tri suit for race day. “Being great parents,” he continues, “they never lost their belief in me.”

Sanders finished his first full Ironman in 10:14 and was hooked. He knew he was at a crossroads and needed to make a serious change in his life.

And soon.

“I woke up in detox a number of times. If I stayed on that self-destructive path, I saw what my fate was and it wasn’t pleasant,” he admits. “I met guys in detox who were just like me, but a couple years further down the path. I realized that I wanted something more from my life.”

Sanders has made an amazing transformation and is now one of the very best triathletes on the planet. More importantly, when he brushes his teeth in the morning, he has no problem looking in the mirror.

Why? Because he likes what he sees.

NutritionPlace HOW TO BALANCE YOUR ENERGY SOURCES

BY MAT T FITZGERALD

M

any popular diets—including those that are popular among runners—are based on the idea that you have to balance your nutritional energy sources (carbohydrate, fat, and protein) perfectly in order to stay lean and healthy. They just can’t agree on what that ideal balance is. Some say we should get no more than 20 percent of our calories from fat. Others say we should limit our carb intake to 10 percent of total calories. The Zone Diet recommends a precise ratio of 40 percent carbs, 30 percent fat, and 30 percent protein.

Who’s right?

They’re all wrong. Science clearly indicates that there is no perfect balance of nutritional energy sources. Humans are metabolically very adaptable. We can thrive on a variety of diets.

What’s important is that we get enough of each energy source and not too much total energy (i.e. calories), and also that most of our carbs, fat, and protein come from natural, whole foods.

Let’s take a closer look at the specifics.

CARBOHYDRATE

Carbohydrate is not an essential nutrient so we can get by on very little of it. However, it’s also the body’s most powerful energy source, so the more active you are, the better you will perform with higher levels of carb intake. If you do just a handful of short workouts per week, a low-carbohydrate diet is perfectly adequate.

If you are a serious racer who often works out twice a day, you may need to two or three times as much carbohydrate to get the most out of your training. As a rule of thumb, I suggest starting at a baseline of 3 grams of carbs per kilogram you weigh (1 kg = 2.2 lbs)

and adding 1 g/kg/day for every 20 miles you run per week.

The healthiest high-carb foods are fruit, whole grains, and dairy. Refined grains and foods with added sugar should be eaten sparingly. The World Health Organization now recommends that consumption of added sugars be limited to 25 grams per day.

RECOMMENDED AMOUNTS

CARBS

FAT

A healthy diet can be anywhere between 20 percent and 40 percent fat. More important than the amount of fat you eat is the types.

Most of us don’t get enough of the essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The best source of these nutrients is fatty fish such as salmon. Make sure to eat it at least a couple of times per week. If you don’t eat fish, take an omega-3 supplement. Aim for a total of 1 to 3 grams of EPA and DHA daily.

Avoid overdoing saturated fat, especially from red meat. This type of fat is fine in moderation, but moderation means less than 10 percent of your total daily calories. Worse than saturated fat are the artificial trans fats. Try to avoid these entirely.

PROTEIN

A little protein goes a long way. Research suggests that about 1.2 gram of protein per kilogram (1 kg = 2.2 lbs) of bodyweight per day is plenty for runners. So if you weigh 150 lbs (68 kg), aim for about 82 grams of protein daily. If you train heavily, eat a little more. Also eat a little more protein (about 10 percent) if you’re a vegetarian, as plant protein is not absorbed as well as protein from animal foods.

FAT

PROTEIN

Suggested 3g of carbs per 2.2 lbs of bodyweight 20%-40% of total diet.

Focus on good fats. Avoid saturated fats Get 1.3 g protein per 2.2 lbs of bodyweight

ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL

There are lots of diet gurus out there trying to convince us that there is only one way to eat for maximum health and fitness.

Tune them out. You can be healthy and fit on almost any diet that fits your preferences and lifestyle provided it respects the general guidelines for balancing your energy sources that I’ve just outlined.

Bon appétit!

THE GUIDE TO YOUR PERFECT TRIATHLON WETSUIT

BY JAY WEBER

FULL-SLEEVED SUIT VS. SLEEVELESS

I

n the triathlon world, there are two styles of wetsuits: full sleeved and sleeveless (also called “john”). Both wetsuits have full leg covering and come in a variety of thicknesses (though you won’t find any that are thicker than 5mm due to USAT rules).

The thinner the shoulders are in a fullsuit, or increased number of panels, the more range of motion you will have for your arms and reduction of arm fatigue.

There are several factors to consider when deciding on which style to purchase. You will want to consider: water temperature and acclimation to that temperature;

distance of your practice swims, and race (Which will help you understand time you’ll be in the water); and experience as a swimmer.

WATER TEMP- When looking at the temperature of the water, and the time you will be in the water, it is always important to factor the comfort level in the water. If you’re a slower swimmer, you will be swimming for a longer period of time than a faster swimmer, and thus be subject to the water temperature for more time. If you get cold easily as a slower swimmer, a full-sleeved suit will be a better choice so that you’re able to enjoy more of the swim.

DISTANCE- As a triathlete of 8 years, I have not spent the hours that my more experienced colleagues have. As such I am not as comfort-

C

able in cooler water. Taking my slower speed, moderate distance swims, and lower tolerance of cooler water, I stick with a full-sleeved suit. Some of my faster coworkers will wear a sleeveless wetsuit because of their speed, and comfort in cooler water.

EXPERIENCE- Due to increased surface area, as well as buoyancy, a full-sleeved wetsuit is typically faster. If your goal is to go as fast as possible, a fullsuit will get you across the finish line faster. Pro triathletes almost always wear a full-sleeved wetsuit, and there is a reason for that!

SIZING YOUR WETSUIT

Sizing charts for wetsuits typically are not based on clothing sizes, but rather height and weight. If you have a longer torso, broad shoulders, or a more muscular build, there might be variances in your weight that the initial chart doesn’t account for.

When looking at sizing your wetsuit, in addition to the sizing chart, you will want to consider how tight you are comfortable with clothing fitting. Wetsuits will stretch up to half a size because of the flexibility of the materials used. Your wetsuit should take at least five

S out line sui W loo you L and

CONTINUED

minutes to put on and should feel very snug. If you are right on the border of a suit, and less comfortable with tight fitting, sizing to the larger size will likely be a great match. If the suit is too large, then in addition to pulling yourself through the water, you’ll be pulling additional water. If possible, swim in two different wetsuits (with two different models or brands) to see if you have the right fit.

PUTTING ON A WETSUIT

Start by having the wetsuit entirely inside out. With the rubber on the inside, and the liner on the outside, you’ll be able to roll the suit on.”

With the suit inside out, ensure that you are looking at the chest, not the back zipper, as you hold it up.

Lay the suit on the ground in front of you and insert your feet through each opening.

Begin to tug the suit up over your lower legs, working evenly and alternatively from leg to leg.

Once you have the suit up and over your chest, do one arm at a time in the same manner (with it inside out). This will avoid putting undue stress on the suit and ensure that the outside rubber coating keeps from getting fingernail tears.

MAINTAINING A WETSUIT

Once you’ve chosen the perfect wetsuit, you want properly maintain it so it lasts a few seasons.

Wetsuits are fragile because the coasting on the neoprene is designed to make you go fast, but unfortunately sacrifices durability. If cared for, they will last you for many swims, but this includes airing them out to dry in a controlled

environment. After swimming in open water, it is best to rinse off the suit and then set it to dry inside out so that the liner and neoprene can dry. A few things when caring for your wetsuit: • Never leave it out in the sun, or in your hot car to dry, especially inside out (or the rubber will melt).

• Never place your suit in the washing machine to clean it, or the dryer • Never leave the suit bunched up, limiting air flow You’ll want to hang it up to dry, and keep it in a cool, dry and dark place (out of sunlight).

Once the wetsuit is dry, you will want to hang it up with a plastic hanger without sharp edges.

This will allow for constant airflow to the suit.

Following these tips to getting into your wetsuit and maintaining it will ensure that the suit and you have many happy swims together!!
