Injury Prevention

By Valerie Legendre, PT, DPT, CSCS, JACO REHAB HIP FLEXIBILITY: When it comes to fitness, stretching is often left out at the start and finish of a good workout. What many people don’t know is that adequate muscle length is necessary to achieve proper form during exercise. When faced with the question of when and what to stretch, consider which body part your workout will focus on, and start there. Stretching before activity will allow you to build strength while taking advantage of the flexibility you have gained following your stretches. Be sure to complete five to ten minutes of warm up activity before you stretch to improve blood flow and increase you ability to gain muscle length. If you have just completed a high intensity workout, stretching afterwards will help prevent any proceeding stiffness.

The following stretches focus on your hip flexibility. You hip musculature assists in stabilizing your pelvis, which is extremely important for distance running. Adequate muscle length and strength around your pelvis will lead to improved core stability and will prevent many injures including lower back pain, sciatica, hip flexor strains, and bursitis of the hip.

The following stretches should be completed in sets of three with a thirty-second hold in each position.

Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch While in a lunge position with your right knee on the floor, tilt your pelvis under and press your hips forward until you feel a stretch in the front of your right hip. Switch sides and repeat.

Hamstring stretch With your right heel on a step or stool, straighten your right knee. Hinge forward at your hips, keeping your back straight, until you feel a stretch in the back of your right thigh. Switch sides and repeat.

Piriformis stretch Lay on your back and cross your right heel over your left knee.

With your hands, hold beneath your left knee and pull your left knee towards your chest until you feel a stretch on the side/back of your right hip. Switch sides and repeat.

Life is a journey they say and it is filled with ups and downs. The beginning of the year is a great time to reflect on this journey of life and to see where we have been and where we want to go. At this time of year, the idea of making “New Year’s Resolutions” is hopeful.

According to the University of Scranton, Journal of Clinical Psychology the top 10 New Year’s resolutions for 2014 were as follows: Lose Weight Get organized Spend less, save more Enjoy life to the fullest Stay fit and healthy Learn something exciting Quit smoking Help others in their dreams Fall in love Spend more time with family

A Few Broken Bones

by Joy Secretario, Photo by Kalani Pascual and Rick Keene

In 2012 I was blessed to make it into the Kona Ironman World Championships. A triathletes dream is to race at home, and have the opportunity to race with elite athletes from all over the world. Three weeks out till race day, on my last 100 mile bike ride training with my BOCA peeps, I crashed pretty bad riding tailwind on the north shore. The thought was that my front tire blew out, was stuck in my brake, and my bike came to a complete halt. The bike stopped, but I didn’t.

There is this certain amount of peacefulness that you feel as you fly through the air into unconsciousness. The complete quiet quickly changes into a lot of commotion, noise, and most of all intense pain. This pain is very different from training pain. Since I was on the north shore it took the ambulance forever to arrive with the morphine that saved the day. When I opened my eyes the first words out were “Oh no my race”. The damage: 7 broken ribs, broken lt. clavicle, fx skull, broken ear-

drum, and broken thumb.

Two days later I remember my coach Raul visiting me in the hospital telling me not to worry; there will be another time to race Kona. I looked him straight in the eyes and said “no way, we’re doing this one”. I was in the best shape ever before the crash, and was crazy enough to think I could do this. My ribs were broken in the back so I was able to breathe semi normal. I’m crazy already so the concussion was a non-issue. After all, there are many athletes that swim and race with one arm.

After continuous whining to my trauma surgeon, orthopod, etc., I got them all too eventually clear me to race. After all, they thought there was no way that I could make it out of the swim let alone complete an ironman…. Little did they know?

Day by day I got stronger and crazier. With Below: Joy at the Lanikai Triathlon. Photo by Kalani Pascual

the help from George Davis who is a massage therapist/acupuncturist, I made it through the days of continuous pain. With Raul BOCA coaching me, there was no way I wasn’t passing that finish line.

My mantra became: Anything is possible.

So now, off to Kona. I hung out with all of my friends, checked in, went to the expo, and enjoyed the magic of Kona. Not knowing what my fate would be, I continued to go through the prerace motions. I wasn’t able to swim in the ocean pre-race, or get my bike out on the road, but I thought, oh well you only live once.

I did decide to take a ride on my bike before I had to check it in. I realized it only felt pain when I stopped. I figured that’s great because it’s a race, I have no need to stop. In Ironman all you do is keep moving forward.

Race day arrived and my anything is possible mantra continued. I cried when they sang the anthem, hopped into the water, and swam like Nemo. I haven’t been training for this Ironman for the last six months; I have been training for this ironman my whole life. I caught the eye of one of the life guards Shirley Carpenter and told her I had a broken arm. She ended up kayaking next to me the whole time, and we picked up her friend Dave on the way back. The pain started from the moment I stepped into the water and didn’t stop until I finished. I emerged out of the water in two hours with the help of my two guardian angels.

Now it’s bike time. The Kona course is one of the most beautiful and brutal bike courses that I’ve ever been on, but one of my favorites. I do know the course like the back of my hand, so I did know what I was getting myself into.

My favorite part of the ride was when Sister Madonna passed me like I was standing still. As I was chasing her, I could not stop laughing and realizing wow, she is in amazing shape! Next challenge, make it up

to Hawi, the turn around. The wind and the rain took a toll on my body and I considered pulling out.

I was so cold that I thought if I stopped, then what?

So, as I flew down from Hawi, petrified of the speeds I was hitting, thinking that I must be out of my mind biking 112 miles after such a bad accident. Just keep going, anything is possible. I ended up in T2 at 5:10 pm, just making cut off.

As I started the run I pictured the finish medal in my mind which kept me going. I had passed many of my spectator friends along the way, cheering me on and shaking their heads. They were the ones that kept pushing me forward. At mile 20 my guardian angel Dave from the swim came out on his bike to find me. I looked at my watch, decided to stop doing the “ironman shuffle” and walk the rest of the way back. He kept me company until I hit Palani, and my girlfriends picked me up from there. They fixed my hair, put lipstick on me, and told me it’s time to run. The most memorable part of my race is when about 20 of them ran me into the finish line. I crossed the finish line at 1130pm, finally got my hands on that medal, and realized yes, anything is possible. I have to thank, John, Raul, George, Andrew, my BOCA peeps, and the SBs for making dreams come true……

L a n i k a i Tr i a t h l o n The morning sun cracking through the Lanikai sky is an amazing sight and the first delight to experience when participating in the Jamba Juice Lanikai Triathlon. In its 14th year, this sprint distance triathlon has inspired and challenged many athletes, local and visiting. Kailua Beach Park is an Oahu treasure, listed in many guidebooks as a favorite spot known for its turquoise water and soft sand.

To have it as the start and finish location for a triathlon was the brainchild of race director Raul Boca.

A sprint distance tri is inviting to novice athletes who may be intimidated by a 3-discipline event, but believe they can complete the not so intimidating distances of a 500 meter swim, a 20K bike and a 5K run. For experienced athletes, they relish the opportunity to go fast and hard! This local event is popular but keeps its numbers manageable to keep that community, “ohana� type feeling which is common in Boca Hawaii events. April sometimes blesses Kailua with spring showers, but athletes know to take it as it comes and embrace what the day’s weather brings. Rain or shine, athletes enjoy the challenge.

And when it is one of those amazing years where the Lanikai sky is smiling down upon its racers, it is truly a breathtaking experience to compete in this well supported, windward triathlon.

It might not be a good idea to ask about on the bike. Have your athlete do their own check of the bike and remind them to do a final check before they leave how your athlete handled pitstops during the bike leg.

Don’t underestimate your role of Sherpa. It’s very tough betransition. “What gear is your bike in, sweetie?”

P a u l M i t c h e l l X T E R R A W o r l d C h a m p i o n s h i p s Tr a i l R u n With the scenic Koolau Mountains as the backdrop for the seventh XTERRA World Championship, it was once again a great Sunday on the trails for all the participants in all the races.

With about 2000 participants in total, XTERRA was once again a success, with many runners coming from the mainland as well as international runners it is a great opportunity to show what a great trail race we have right here in our backyard.

From the start in Ka’a’awa Valley the runners make their way back into the valley on rolling hills, with the sun beating down on them. The 5k. and 10k. runners stay in the valley, while the halfmarathon runners make their way over onto the Kualoa Ranch side, where they get the pleasure of some more hills, and the Kualoa Valley Death Mile - a one mile uphill section, where most runners are forced to walk, followed by an even steeper section, that additonally was quite muddy this year. There were many great performances and on the following page you can see the agegroup winners and top seven.

Hawaii Sport Report Reviews Ka Iwi Coast Run October 5, 2014 Sandy Beach to Maunalua Bay By: Courtney Osaki Top Overall Men: 1 Ku Kaahanui 2 Jakob Dewald 3 Linus Candelarza

The Ka Iwi Coast Run wins most beautiful course in my running book. From the start at Sandy Beach Park, the first two miles are all uphill but the colorful rays of sun rising over the ocean takes your mind off the steepness. I nickname this part the sunrise selfie section. People were stopping by the side of the road to take photos with the sunrise over and over again as it became more breathtaking. I admit I stopped half a dozen times to take pictures myself. After mile two it was all downhill to Maunalua Bay Beach Park. Finishers received a commemorative glass fishing float and t-shirt. This 4 mile run is open to all runners, walkers, and strollers and is extremely family friendly.

Turkey Trot, Thanksgiving 2014.

SAM’s 5K., December 7, 2014

The annual Turkey Trot organized by Honolulu Marathon Clinic is always a great way to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner, but also for the upcoming Honolulu Marathon a few weeks later. Here you get to run without a watch and try to hit your predicted time. Those who gets closest goes home with a pie.

Mid-Pacific Road Runners Club’s SAM’s 5K. was won by Andrew Taylor and Yuko Nakai.
