tri-ing for Good times

Ba-by panic attacks in the water. You are hereby officially banned from my world.

One year ago as an experiment I opted to swim sans the neoprene body glove at the Tribal Sprint Tri though a wetsuit legal race. It was slow going on purpose but I felt comfortable. No gasping for air, floating on my back or hanging off the side of a kayak. I was all smiles when exiting Lake Pleasant.

Way over due, swim coach and SWEAT contributor Laurel Hill convinced me to come to a Mesa Masters workout at the Kino Aquatics Center in Mesa less than two weeks prior to the 2010 Tribal event. The pool would be set for 50 meters. I squirmed a little when she said 50 meters and I was a bit nervous about jumping into a masters group. I knew it would be good practice. I had not donned the goggles since the Desert Grande tri in November 09. A stronger back and shoulders from strength training made me more confident and the time away from the water made me appreciate and enjoy it more.

I wanted to test a sleeveless suit so I rented one for the race. I figured it was quicker to get on and off, more comfortable, less restrictive and would minimize that claustrophobic feel from a full suit. Once the lake water seeped in I knew the sleeveless suit would be my new best friend, water temps permitting. Buoyancy without restriction, whoo hoo.

As in the past, I started slow. Upon picking up the pace I could feel my body gilding over the water. It seemed different and really fun. I felt fresh exiting the water and excited to get on the bike. I love the rolling hills of the course, totally up my alley. Nothing too steep that you must grind it out but it is challenging enough to keep it interesting. The same could be said for the run; just a nice trail with a few whoop -de-doos. The coolest thing, an early start meant an early finish. I even had enough time to jump into the open water swim race, but decided I would save that for next year.

Aside from an all around great day, the venue and event reminds me of the early days when the Bud Light triathlon series staged at Lake Pleasant. I was not doing triathlons then, mostly racing/riding bikes, duathlons and an occasional relay. The community was much smaller then, everybody knew everybody. It was a kind of special club.

While the community has grown significantly, not much has really changed. There is more happening, more resources, more groups and more events. What has stayed the same and in reality, most valuable, the bonds and friendships people formed in the late 80’s and early 90’s are still happening within the groups and among competitors.

I have seen this first hand. Since the Tribal race I have been getting out there and mixing it up with a variety of groups. The day after the Tribal sprint and evening before Memorial Day, I strolled through Old Town Scottsdale on a Tribe cruiser ride with cyclists and triathletes.

What fun to see the athletes letting loose away from their tri gear.

Mid June I headed to Bartlett Lake with a few of my No Women Left Behind cycling friends for an open water swim and barbeque with the TriScottsdale Gage Racing group. What a blast. Great workout, open water, yummy food and outstanding company.

Recently I boosted my cycling in distance and frequency so I see many more of you out there. I have had some stellar wheels to draft on those rides. Without the push from some awesome athletes, I would have had a hard time completing those 80 to 100+ mile rides on my own.

So thank you to all of my old and new friends for keeping me in the water and in the game then and now.

It has been pure pleasure. I look forward to more fun times ahead. Have a great summer.

Eric Harding and family Tri for Special Olympics When Eric Harding competed in his first triathlon six years ago, he probably couldn’t imagine that his entire family would follow, literally, in his footsteps just five years later. As Father’s Day approaches, Eric is so grateful for every moment with his family but as an avid triathlete, who just completed the Deuces Wild Triathlon in Show Low last weekend, the opportunity for his entire family of eight to participate together in a triathlon was very fulfilling.

Last year’s Red Rock Sprint and Unified Triathlon benefitting Special Olympics Arizona (SOAZ) had all Harding’s participate: Sabrina, quadruplets Allyson, Amanda, Samantha and Sydney as well as older brother Austin and mother Delanna.

And they plan on partaking once again at the 3rd Annual Red Rock Sprint and Unified Triathlon to be held Saturday, September 11, 2010 at DC Ranch Village Health Club and Spa. “We are looking forward to the opportunity to help with this fundraiser again next year. This was an amazing experience for our family and everyone involved. We love Special Olympics Arizona,” said Eric.

Eric began competing in triathlons six years ago, and back in May 2009, Eric was contacted by Special Olympics Arizona through the Phoenix Triathlon Club website. Eric is the Activities Director for the club and was more than willing to volunteer his time to the SOAZ Triathlon Committee which he is doing again this year. His goal: to support an amazing event and to give Samantha and her sisters the opportunity to compete together.

Daughter Samantha is a Special Olympics Arizona Athlete who had previously participated in a Special Olympics Arizona Bowling event, yet she was still quite new to the Special Olympics experience. Now she was joining experienced Special Olympics Arizona Athletes, new Unified Partners, seasoned

triathletes and community organizers and volunteers all rooting from the sidelines.

“It was a day to celebrate Samantha’s strengths and accomplishments. A day to show the world how proud we are to be her family. For Samantha to be able to participate with her sisters in this event was incredible! She got more and more excited as the race went on,” said Delanna.

And for a father, what could be better than seeing Amanda swim the first leg, Allyson biking through the second stage, and Samantha running with her mom and four sisters, holding hands together as they crossed the finish line? Doing it again on September 11, 2010.

For more information about the 3rd Annual Red Rock Sprint and Unified Triathlon to be held Saturday, September 11, 2010 at DC Ranch Village Health Club and Spa, visit www.SpecialOlympicsArizona.org/triathlon. —Jeff, Golner

Barn Burner Postponed On June 17 two days before 1000 mountain bikers were to put tread on trails just northwest of Flagstaff, the Barn Burner was postponed due to fire. The Eagle Rock fire broke out on June 15 which had burned an estimated 3,400 acres of land at the time of this writing. It was decided it would not be safe to bring 1,000 people out to camp and race directly in the line of the fire and smoke. Kaibab National Forest personnel officially canceled the event for the June 19th date.

Red Rock Co, the race organizers, are working closely with Coconino and Kaibab National Forests to reschedule the event for the fall.

While race policy dictates no refunds, organizers reviewed their policy. “We have reviewed our policy and do not feel it would be fair to our good customers/athletes to enforce such a strict policy, as you have all faithfully supported Red Rock and our events over the years. Instead, we will offer the following: OPTION #1 100% CREDIT for the fall Barn Burner 2010 event Date of the event is TBD (stay tuned) OPTION #2 50% CREDIT towards Barn Burner 2011 -OR50% CREDIT towards: • PBR Urban Dirt Triathlon 2010 • Nathan Triathon 2010 • Soma Triathlon 2010 *Credit is based on your Barn Burner entry fee.

If you were registered you need do nothing until a new fall date is set. Organizers will then request a decision from you. Race promoters Mike Melley and Kimo Seymour appreciated all the participant support and hope to see everyone in the fall. For updates visit www.redrockco.com.

New Wetsuit Rule

USA Triathlon recently announced beginning in 2013 use of wetsuits exceeding five millimeters in thickness will not be permitted at USAT-sanctioned events.

The new regulation states: “Effective January 1, 2013, any swimmer wearing a wetsuit with a thickness measured in any part greater than five millimeters shall be disqualified.”

“Our board has been considering this issue and the impact it might have with our athletes for some time,” said USA Triathlon CEO Skip Gilbert. “The overall feeling is that it makes perfect sense to align with the guidelines set by our international federation and multisport enthusiasts around the world. This is a standard that is good for the athlete community and our sport overall.”

By implementing this rule change, USA Triathlon falls in line with the international standard of five millimeters recognized by the International Triathlon Union (ITU) and other National Governing Bodies.

The adoption of this rule is designed to eliminate any competitive advantage gained by enhancements in wetsuit technology in recent years. Studies have shown there is a marked and measurable performance benefit to the use of certain wetsuits, specifically added buoyancy effectively reducing passive drag. These performance benefits have led to an increased, and artificially induced, reduction in physical demand required during the swim leg of a triathlon and an increase in speed.

USAT recognizes that there may be wetsuits currently available on the market that are greater than five millimeters in thickness. USAT has implemented a phase-in period of the rule and the announcement of the new regulation serves as notice that the rule change will come into effect in 2013.

USA Triathlon serves as the national governing body for triathlon as well as duathlon, aquathlon and winter triathlon in the United States. USAT sanctions 3,100 races and connects with more than 133,000 members each year, making it the largest multisport organization in the world. USAT also provides leadership and support to elite athletes competing at international events, including World Championships, Pan American Games and the Summer Olympic Games. To learn more about the USAT visit www.usatriathlon.org.

Team in Training

For over 20 years, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training ® (TNT) has grown to become the largest and most recognized sports training program. More than 400,000 participants, from first timers to seasoned athletes have trained with the Team and achieved their best while participating in a variety of endurance events including, marathons, triathlons, bike events and more. Upcoming events include the PF Chang’s Rock N’ Roll Marathon, Blue Water Triathlon and El Tour de Tucson.

The formula is simple and effective. In exchange for endurance sports training and support, participants raise money to help The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society find cures for leukemia, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma. Running or competing for a cause motivates and keeps participants on target to achieve their fitness goals. Participants have raised more than $1 billion dollars towards the fight against blood cancer. To learn more about the program meetings are scheduled throughout Arizona. Find dates and locations below. For more details call 602- 567-7642 or visit www.teamintraining.org/dm.

July 10, August 14 Extreme Heat Adventure Race Series Ok, you ask: what’s adventure racing? Easy.

You try to get to the finish line, having completed all the tasks along the way. How do you do it? Using all available resources, including the map you’re given, written directions, problem solving and route choice.

Nearly anyone can do it, and you’ll have these events explained thoroughly either by a race staff or in the race guide you receive. In adventure racing you may have to read directions, strategize and come up with new ideas.

The first race is July 10 at Coon Bluff off the Salt River. There are two-person teams who, via tubing and trekking, adventure their way over a 12 to 15K course. You will use an easy-to-read, pre-marked map to find your way to checkpoints scattered about the Coon Bluff area on foot as well as tube down a mile-long section of the Salt River.

In addition, you will have to complete a few “mystery events” along the way. If you’re worried about the navigation aspect, worry no more. These folks have been putting on this race for four years now; nearly everyone has finished in three hours or so.

On Aug. 8 participate in the Extreme Heat Dreamy Draw, an event that combines hiking and mountain biking. The EHDD is limited to the first 50 registered teams. Like the Coon Bluff event above, you’re given all available resources, including a map, written directions, and a route choice. You’ll navigate over an 12 to 20K course that will take from an hour to three hours. You’ll find your way to checkpoints scattered about the Dreamy Draw area on foot and on mountain bike.

Once again, you’ll be faced with those tricky “mystery events” along the way. The location is Melrose Paradise Recreation 11424 N. 30th Street, Phoenix.

For details and registration info on both events, drop into www.sierraadventurespots.com.

August 7 Machine Solutions Run for Children Machine Solutions Run for the Children is the fourth race in the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Flagstaff Summer Running Series.

GPS Simplified Runner requests inspired Garmin, the global leader in satellite navigation, to create a simple to use GPS watch. The Garmin® Forerunner 110® sports watch is just that, a sleek, intuitive and affordable solution for runners and walkers who want to know the essential data: how far and how fast.

Forerunner focuses on simplicity without sacrificing accuracy. Seconds after stepping outside, simply press start and instantly know your distance, pace and time without complicated setups or excessive accessories. An ideal entry level watch for tracking progress and goals in exercise and training, it displays time and distance and pace in one of two ways. Runners wearing a Garmin heart rate monitor (included in some bundles or available separately) can monitor their intensity while exercising.

Water-resistant and slimmer than any other GPS-enabled fitness watch on the market, Forerunner 110® boasts a high-sensitivity SiRFstarIVTM GPS receiver with Garmin’s HotFix® technology to quickly acquire satellite reception, perfect for wooded trails under dense trees.

It works well for cycling. Three color combinations are offered – black/gray, charcoal/red and gray/pink (designed for women) and retails for $199.00. To see the 110 or other models like the Forerunner 310XT, perfect for hard core triathletes, navigate into www.garmin.com.

Run by Feel Are you doing all the right things when it comes to running but not improving or just not feeling the love? In his new book RUN: The Mind-Body Method of Running by Feel, best-selling author Matt Fitzgerald explores the run-by-feel practices of elite runners and draws on new research to explain why their techniques can be effective for all runners. RUN will teach runners how to listen to their bodies so they can train in the most personalized and adaptable way and begin to realize their full potential.

Fitzgerald’s mind-body method is a thoughtprovoking approach to training and will transform how runners think about their workouts, their limits, and their potential. His methods are effective for all levels or runners. The opening chapter on physical confidence and believing in your ability will keep you reading more. Other chapters include Run Happy, Comfort Zones, The Gift of Injury. The foreword by Dathan Ritzenhein, table of contents, and first chapter are available for download at www.

VeloPress.com. The book is available for $18.95 in bookstores, running shops, and online.

Smart Cookie It takes a science writer to come up with a smart cookie. Susie Allport knows fat. She wrote the book The Queen of Fats, a history of omega-3 research. Allport said it is easier to convince people to eat a cookie than read a book on fats.

Today Allport is a baker with a line of tasty omega-3-rich cookies: Susie’s Smart Cookie. She is a champion of omega-3s. The omega-3s in Susie’s Smart Cookies comes from canola oil, walnuts and ground flax.

The two varieties, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie and the Breakfast Cookie, are all natural and have at least one gram of omega-3s in each cookie. The Breakfast Cookie is a complete, breakfast loaded with fruit and two grams of these heart-healthy fats. SWEAT staffers agreed both were yummy and satisfying. with minimal ingredient list. Allport notes these are cookies and should be eaten in moderation. Find Susie’s Smart Cookies at www.susiesmartcookie.com and in select coffee and gourmet stores.

New Hybrid Wetsuit Want buoyancy but temps are border line? How about a hybrid? The Blade from Sailfish is a shorty wetsuit. Made of neoprene, it is considered a wetsuit, not a speedsuit. A combination of neoprene and Lycra paneling provides maximum flexibility with maximum comfort. The Sailfish Blade is an ideal training suit for long swims or races, especially in Arizona where overheating can be a problem. The 0.5 mm thick SmoothSkin neoprene keeps the torso and the lower body warm while providing a buoyancy boost. TriScottsdale Gage Racing athletes had an opportunity to test the Blade and other Sailfish suits at a recent open water swim and found the suits to be very comfortable and effective. That probably has something to do wit the owner of Sailfish, Jan Sibbersen. He holds the fastest Ironman swim time of 42:17 and was first out of the water in Kona from 2001-2004. Due to his insight and working with other leading triathletes from around the world, Sailfish has gained huge popularity in Europe. The company entered the US market this year and chose Scottsdale for its North American headquarters.

The Blade retails for $140.00. Slip into www.sailfishusa.com to see the complete line.

Your FirsT olYmpic olY l mpic DisTanc lY DisTancE T E TriaT Tanc Tria TriaThlon hlon How to Tri It on a Budget

By Laurel Hill

L

et’s set the scene – There sits a 40 something in front of the computer gathering information, determined to start training for an Olympic Distance triathlon. Overwhelmed by the thoughts of fitting purposeful exercise into life, the huge amount of online training programs, material about gait and running shoes, bikes, bars, and pedals, oh my; the wanna-be triathlete heads to the kitchen, head spinning, for a Coke and some trail mix, and calls a friend. “How do others’ lives and bank accounts afford this sport?”

Maybe you are the one sitting in front of the computer wanting to dive into the world of triathlons. People all around you are talking about his/her latest race results, how many great friends they’ve made, how many pounds they’ve dropped, how much more energy they’ve had since getting off the couch and starting their triathlon careers. You think, “But I have a full time job, two kids, a spouse, ‘ol Lassie needs her walk, and I don’t even own a bike! I’d love to start training for that one race the guys were talking about before the boss walked in. When was it, October? That seems so soon, only 14 weeks away. Where would I even start? How will I find the time?”

These types of questions were posed to five Arizona triathlon-based companies; Anne and Bill Wilson of Camelback Coaching, Ron Arroyo of Arroyo Racing, Brian Grasky of Grasky Endurance, Tom Demerly of TriSports. com, and Kevin Weitzel of Tribe Multisport.

For precision’s sake, the question posed to them was this.

“I am a healthy individual who can swim but I’m not the greatest. I don’t really have a great bike to ride, but I’d like to be ready for my first Olympic distance triathlon in mid-October. I have kids, so really I can only workout in the early morning and on the weekends. Maybe twice a week, I can get away from the office for a noon workout of some kind.” And here’s the clincher…. “A) I have $1000 or B)

14 SWEAT magazine

I have $3500 to spend. Under each of these constraints, where and how should I spend that money and my time?”

Of course, as with any research question, more questions arise. Brian Grasky posed several variables which would play into a real life answer such as 1) Are you self-motivated or do you need external motivation? 2) Are you willing to research on your own? Or do you need concrete direction, i.e. a coach, to tell you what to do? 3) How dedicated are you to sticking to a schedule? 4) Is your goal to complete or compete? 5) What is your sports/ exercise background, meaning are you a recovering couch potato or a bored injured runner? These two groups, incidentally, are largely the feeder demographics of the sport, sites Demerly at TriSports.com. As a practical matter, where is the race going to be? Will you absolutely need a wetsuit because of water temperature?

Five varying responses ensued. However, given the scenario at hand, all agreed on three ideas. First, even though the sport of triathlon sometimes gets the rap of being “the new golf”, marketed by companies to the higher end, a.k.a, those not living in my neighborhood, at $1000 anybody could get into training and racing for the virgin voyage Olympic Distance triathlon. Second, at $3500, your equipment should not be your excuse for performing poorly. Third, and perhaps the most important as this was most stressed by all five, GET A PROPER BIKE FIT! All have seen once-enthusiastic wanna-bes come and go from the sport simply because they didn’t like being on the bike, mainly due to the fact that it wasn’t the right bike for the individual.

Weitzel, of Tribe Multisport, offers free bike fitting whether the bike costs $500 or $10,000.

In fact, many stores that sell bikes will provide this service for free when you purchase there because they know that a body’s happiness can depend on it. When the body is happy, the bike is less likely to be returned.

July/August 2010

I Can Really Do This?

The $1000 Breakdown The best possible scenario in getting the most out of your $1K is to borrow a bike that fits you, thus eliminating the largest output of financial resources. If you have to buy a bike, Demerly, suggests getting an entry level road bike, spending no more than $600 which leaves $200 for bike peripherals such as helmet, shoes, cage and bottle, possibly pedals.

The remaining money will be for a good pair of running shoes (with free gait analysis which many stores offer), something to compete in such as a tri top and shorts or a swimsuit and shorts, goggles, spare tires, and maybe a book or two with training plans and suggestions.

Don’t be afraid to hunt for and/or negotiate deals on your equipment. With a computer, you can search on sites such as Craigslist.com to find used items still in great shape.

Demerly, Weitzel, and Arroyo warn that some places will try to oversell you the first time out. You don’t need anything more than an entry level aluminum frame. You don’t really even need a road bike, a mountain bike will do. Not as fast – but again - what are your goals? “Don’t get suckered into buying a beginning tri kit,” says Weitzel. “It’s usually cheap stuff and often not all that practical.” Regarding a wetsuit, borrowing from a friend or renting one from places like Tribe is definitely the best way to go if you’re under budget constraints. Plus, as Demerly points out, if you don’t fall in love with the sport, you won’t have spent the money on one.

You’re Doing the I’ve-Already-Got-A-Bike Dance If you are fortunate enough to have a bike at your disposal that won’t cause you to throw it down like a guitar at Oz Fest after your first long ride, rejoice at your small financial windfall. After buying what you need, like running shoes, and other bike peripherals that you may not have, then you can partake of coaching services like those offered by Arroyo Racing, Grasky

www.sweatmagazine.com

Timex Watch/Heart Monitor Clip-On Aerobars Endurance, and Camelback Coaching. Arroyo suggests starting off with Metabolic and VO2 Max tests and purchasing a heart rate monitor. Knowing your starting point and your end goals greatly helps in planning how to get there efficiently. Anne and Bill Wilson at Camelback Coaching, have twin 8 year old boys, and know first hand the balancing rigors of working, training, and real life.

“With coaching, you’ll get the most out of the time that’s available to you,” said Anne Wilson. “There’s only quality work with no junk miles. You learn from a neutral party what equipment you really need to get started as well as the pragmatics of racing day, the transitions, nutrition, and race strategy.”

Grasky agrees that after purchasing the necessities, with disposable cash in hand, seek out a good swim coach. “More so than cycling and running, swimming fitness is almost entirely technique-driven,” said Grasky “As a swim coach and provider of private instruction, I couldn’t agree more. I always tell the triathletes who work with me that I want them to be able to swim, spine in-line, on top of the water without using their legs for anything more than propulsion, i.e. not as anti-drowning mechanisms. Knowing proper technique saves the oxygen-sucking legs for the bike and run, the majority of the race.”

Grasky also suggests spending any extra money on clinics whether they’re about openwater tactics, transitions, racing nutrition or race-day execution. The information provided is bound to include something a green-horn hadn’t thought of before.

pop-up during your normally planned training time. With the remaining money you could invest in coaching, a membership to your local US Masters Swimming group and/or private swim lessons and supplemental training toys like the heart rate monitor Arroyo suggested.

Basically, with a $3500 budget, “Your equipment won’t be your limiting factor,” says Demerly. His breakdown includes shopping the sales in-store and online, spending 50-60% of the $3500 on the bike itself, again, making sure to get a proper fit; spending extra on quality clipless pedals, shoes, a helmet, cages/bottles, and a cyclometer. After all this, you’ll still have $1000 to spend on a wetsuit, coaching and a plan, good running shoes and a well-made training and racing wardrobe.

One more concept that all five interviewees agreed upon was the fact that an un(der) trained person on an expensive bike is still un(der) trained. A $3000 time trial bike with a titanium/ carbon frame, top of-the- line components, and disc wheels will not make you a physiological superhero, so don’t go in thinking you buy your way into having a good race. If you find yourself with a little extra cash, small purchases like a set of $99 clip-on aerobars have been cited on www.

Specialized.com to provide a significant savings in physical output versus staying with the drop bars the road bike came with, a handy 30 watts per kilometer.

You Got Gear, Got a Plan?

Well, if, with the $1000 budget you had to buy a bike, now you can easily buy a “good brand name bike with all the peripherals,” says Weitzel.

Plus you might consider items like aerobars, better pedals and wheels, maybe even an indoor bike trainer which, according to Ann Wilson, adds flexibility with the AZ heat and when family and work issues invariably

You’ve got your gear, now what do you do with it? It’s imperative, especially if your time is not entirely your own, that you maximize your training time. Time in the water and on the road invariably equates to time away from your significant other, children, and other responsibilities, maybe an ailing parent. At this point, I think it’s fair to say, be honest with those who will be most affected by your new goal and the time it will take to achieve it. This could save hurt and/or neglected feelings later on.

Recall that the goal race is in October which means that most of your core training time

July/August 2010

Cha-ching, and for $3500?

will be during the hot(ter) summer months.

Not so much of a problem in Flag and the other Northern Arizona areas, but, in the desert, the weather presents special training challenges. At Camelback Coaching, the Wilsons suggest beginning with a 3-3-3 schedule if you are already in some kind of physical shape. That is, set up a schedule that allows for 3 swims, 3 bikes, and 3 runs per week. If you’re starting more from scratch, try a 2 swim, 2 bike, and 3 run schedule giving your body a chance to adjust to the new energy requirements. In the southern half of the state, swimming twice a week at lunch time when it’s hottest is a necessity. This leaves the cooler mornings for biking and running. With the real life training time ‘limitations’ of work and family, put the long bikes and runs on the weekends, again, early in the morning, leaving 1-2 bikes and 1-2 runs during the weekday mornings and perhaps a third swim on another weekday morning.

Next to your supportive family and friends, your ability to stick to your training plan will be your greatest ally come race day. Possibly the best advice for long term peace of mind and happiness with your new triathlon career was given by Grasky who contends that no matter what your budget, spend your last $100 on a nice evening out with your significant other because she/he is often overlooked and neglected during peak training time. “If you want support for the long haul, don’t forget to invest in and include him/her,” said Grasky.”

Now get outside, train smart, have fun, and good luck!

I posed the question: What is your favorite tri and why? to several movers and shakers in the triathlon community and on our Facebook fan page (www.facebook.com/sweatmagazine).

Here are some of the responses. by Sue Berliner

PBR Urban Dirt Tri Tempe, AZ

Rocky Point Triathlon Puerto Penasco, Mexico

This was my first dirt triathlon and the atmosphere was like no other triathlon I’d ever experienced. The transition area was laid back and friendly, the course was fun and challenging and racers were courteous and happy to be there racing and having a good time. Of course, the Red Rock team did a killer job keeping the race top notch from registration through the awards ceremony.

John Sellinger 34 | Ahwatukee | Racing: 16 yrs | Tri: 10 yrs

Are you kidding me? It’s Rocky Point.

Reasons: Red Rock is the premier race promoter in the Southwest. They always host a professional first class event. Race bags always have incredible swag. Race shirts are tech tee’s. But mostly it’s the atmosphere they create. Professional, organized, and fun! Rocky Point is a great way to compete with some of the best athletes and still party like a rock star after the race is over. They offer keg after keg free. Post race celebration and a huge dance party after the awards. Too much fun.

Timothy Bolen, Excel & Beyond Coaching 44 | Tempe | Tri: 25 yrs

Xterra Deuces Wild Show Low, AZ My favorite triathlon event has been the Xterra at Deuces Wild in Showlow, though it’s hard to narrow it down there are so many great events. i love doing this event because it’s just fun to get dirty and wet; more like an adventure race than a triathlon and sometimes that’s just the break I need from the serious racing going on most of the time.

Cheryl Miller, Get Fit Training 53 | Phoenix | Tri: 10 yrs | Endurance Sports: 30 yrs

Ironman Arizona Tempe, AZ My first triathlon was Oct 2008. I had been doing adventure racing for a few years. My favorite was the Ironman Arizona, Nov., 2009. I trained for 18 months, as I was coming back from a serious accident. I didn’t even own a set of goggles when I signed up in April, 2008. Through my training I met and was supported by an amazing group of professionals. It was a team effort. It was my goal to prove to myself I had fully recovered.

It was emotionally and physically satisfying.

Having my daughter and an amazing cheering section present were the icing on the cake for me. I will never forget the experience or the friends I made.

Wildflower Long Course (1/2IM) Lake San Antonio, CA The Wildflower Long Course race is one of the sports great races. It is located in beautiful hilly terrain just north of Paso Robles, Calif. The course is very challenging with a hilly bike followed by an even hillier run that is 60% off road. The race site is remote so racers end up camping at the race site. With three races with more than 2,500 racers in each event over the course of the weekend, you end up with over 20,000 racers, friends and family camping in one location. There is the sport’s greatest expo, live music and plenty of food. This adds to the race’s reputation of being the “Woodstock of Triathlon”.

Bill Wilson, Camelback Coaching 43 | Fountain Hills | Tri: 22 yrs

Deuces Wild Double Show Low, AZ In the 5 years since I have been living the multi sport life style this race offers the best of everything! What I mean by the double is the Olympic distance race on Saturday followed by the Xterra on Sunday. The venue is scenic and a nice escape from the heat of the

July/August 2010

valley. TriSports puts on the best raffle ever; that alone is worth going to the race. Finally, the race volunteers make you feel like you have wings and its worth all the pain you might be experiencing.

Alan Abeyta, USAT coach 46 | Tempe | Tri: 5 yrs

San Diego International Triathlon, Sprint and Int’l distance San Diego, CA It is the last weekend in June. It’s close enough to drive. If you fly the race is across the street from the SD airport. The race starts in the Spanish Landing Park and ends in Seaport Village. It’s a bay swim so the water is calm, but a little chilly 64-68 degrees. The very scenic bike course goes through the hills of San Diego with the turnaround at Cabrillo National Monument covered in an early morning mist. The flat and fast run along the board walk finishes in Seaport Village. People line the finish to cheer you on. There is a ton of refreshments, live band, spectators, beer garden, and fantastic San Diego weather.

Ron Arroyo, Arroyo Racing 42 | Scottsdale | Tri: 10 yrs

Santa Catalina Triathlon Catalina Island, CA The sprint triathlon (Nov. 6th 2010) on Catalina Island off the coast of California is the perfect weekend race trip. The race features a calm 1/2 mile swim around the pier, hilly 10 mile bike, and very hilly 5k run. With a 9 a.m. Saturday morning race start, you can sleep in and have the rest of your weekend to relax, explore the island, and party the night away. The scenery is spectacular, the karaoke #1, and the people are great. I have organized a group trip to this race for the past 4 years and it never disappoints.

Chocolate: Is It a “Health Food”?

Nancy Clark MS RD CSSD

“C

hocolate! I try to stay away from it!” commented my client, a runner who described herself as having a rampant sweet tooth. For her, chocolate fits into the categories of junk food, guilty pleasure and ruiner of good intentions to lose weight. Yet, she also recognized there is potentially a happier side of the story. Ads for (dark) chocolate suggest chocolate is good for us. Chocolate comes from plants and contains the same health-protective compounds that are found in fruits and vegetables.

So what is the whole story on chocolate? Is it little more than an alluring form of refined sugar, saturated fat and empty calories? Or does chocolate (in moderation, of course) have positive qualities that might be beneficial for athletes?

Here are some nuggets of information about chocolate. I’ll let you decide whether or not the health benefits of eating chocolate are greater than the health costs—and if you personally want to define chocolate as a “health food” within the context of your own sports diet.

THE “BAD” The bad news is chocolate consists of primarily saturated fat and sugar. A Hershey’s Chocolate Bar (43 g) contains 210 calories, 24 grams sugar (46% of calories), 13 g total fat (55% of calories) and 8 g saturated fat, equivalent to a tablespoon of butter. Boo hoo. (But here’s how you can rationalize including this popular treat in your overall well-balanced sports diet: The fat in chocolate does not raise bad cholesterol levels and the sugar (carb) in chocolate fuels your muscles....) >> People tend to eat chocolate in bursts—a lot in a day, such as on holidays or pre-menstrually—or none. The question arises: Would enjoying some chocolate every day help reduce an athlete’s urge to binge-eat the whole bag of, let’s say, M&Ms in a moment of weakness? That’s a good question and one that needs to be researched. We do know that deprivation and denial of food contributes to overeating. You know the syndrome: “I’m starting my diet Monday morning, so Sunday is my last chance to eat chocolate...” and there goes the whole bag of M&Ms! I invite my clients to try taking the “power” away from chocolate by enjoying a little bit every day, such as for dessert after lunch. Ideally, daily chocolate could reduce it to being simply a commonplace plant food, just like bran cereal, an apple or carrot sticks. Give it a try?

THE “UGLy” Some athletes claim they are “addicted” to chocolate. Perhaps “chocolate addicts” grew up in a household where the parents banned chocolate? Now, as grown-ups, maybe they rebel by eating Reece’s Pieces by the bagful?

Or are they “super tasters”—and the flavor of chocolate is just irresistible? Perhaps they have a genetic difference that makes chocolate highly attractive? Some day, genetic testing may help us find the answer to that question.

THE “GooD” Chocolate is made from cocoa. Cocoa comes from a plant. It is a rich source of health-protective phytochemicals, just like you’d get from fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Two tablespoons natural cocoa power (the kind used in baking) offers the same antioxidant power as 3/4 cup blueberries or 1.5 glasses red wine. >> Of all the types of chocolate, dark chocolate is the richest source of phytonutrients.

Unfortunately, dark chocolate has a slightly bitter taste and most people prefer the sweeter milk chocolate. Maybe we should raise today’s children on dark chocolate, so they will they learn to prefer it...? >> One phytochemical in cocoa is nitrate.

Nitrate gets converted into nitric oxide, a chemical known to increase blood flow.

Nitric oxide lowers blood pressure, a good thing for aging athletes who want to stay youthful and invest in their health. (1) >> Another group of phytochemicals are called flavonoids. They are in many plant foods, including tea, apples and onions.

Epidemiological surveys of large groups of people indicate those who regularly consume chocolate consume more of these health-protective flavonoids than nonchocolate eaters. This reduces their risk of heart disease. In the Netherlands, elderly men who routinely ate chocolate-containing products reduced their risk of heart disease by 50% and their risk of dying from other causes by 47%. (2) >> Cocoa increases blood flow to the brain. If this means you can process information better and faster—like calculate your split times or help your kids with their math homework—wouldn’t that be a great excuse to enjoy chocolate?! >> Many parents keep chocolate away from their children, thinking chocolate makes them hyper. No research to date supports that claim. The party or special event that

surrounds the chocolate likely triggers the hyperactivity. (3) >> Chocolate is yummy! Most athletes love chocolate. Chocolate lovers don’t want sugar-free or fat-free chocolate. They want the 100% real stuff! That’s because consumers buy benefits, not products. Being yummy is a huge benefit!

During the recession in 2009, sales of Hershey’s chocolates increased. Is that because worried people bought a moment of yummy, cheer-me-up chocolate? Or, did they simply settle for a bag of less expensive Hershey’s Kisses instead of a box of pricey Godiva Chocolates? Regardless, chocolate seems to fit every mood, be it happy, sad, tired or celebratory. >> Flavanol-rich cocoa may help reduce muscle soreness. Studies with athletes who performed muscle-damaging downhill running and then consumed a cocoa-based carbohydrate and protein beverage experienced less muscle damage and felt less muscle soreness. (4) >> Although the chocolate used in flavoring milk lacks the health-protectors found in dark chocolate, the yummy flavor makes chocolate milk a popular recovery drink. The sweetened chocolate offers carbs to refuel muscles; the milk offers protein to build and repair muscle.

Plus, milk boosts intake of calcium and vitamin D, needed for strong bones.

CoNCLUSIoN Despite all this good news about chocolate, it is still just a candy and not a life-sustaining food. Yet, it does provide pleasure—and pleasure is certainly part of a health and wellness program, right?

The trick is to enjoy dark chocolate as part of the 100 to 150 “discretionary” sugar calories that can be part of your daily sports diet. As for me, I’ll enjoy my dark chocolate during a long hike or bike ride. Tastes better than most engineered sports foods and nicely fuels both my body and my mind!

tribAL sprint And open wAter swim

By Sue Berliner Cara Payne from Tempe is all about the costume contest. For the Tribal Sprint at Lake Pleasant on May 29 she donned wings made from Cherios boxes and a ruffled sheer pink skirt over her tri wear. She won the contest and finished second in the women’s division. The sprint tri consisted of 1000 meter swim, 23 km bike on rolling hills and a 5 km mostly trail run.

With an early start at 6:15 a.m. temperatures were ideal.

Leading the women’s field was Tribe athlete Angi Axmann, 26, who won the Tempe International (TI) Olympic two weeks earlier. Susie Fawcett beat Axmann out of the water but after the water Axman led. It became a race for second “I barely beat Christina [Feliz] out on the bike,” said Payne, 29. “I saw her in transition. She just caught up to me on the run. Trail running is my life. No one is beating me on the run. So I ran really hard so she wouldn’t catch me and I got lucky. (Laughing) I chafed really bad. I ran with the skirt pulled up to my armpits because I could not run anymore it hurt.”

Feliz, 31, recently moved to Arizona from Seattle. She splits her time

between Tuba City and Flagstaff.

Lewis Elliot, 30, the men’s winner in the Olympic at TI had his work cut out for him. On hand were Cam Hill, 43, second behind Lewis at TI and TI sprint winner Thomas Taylor.

Cam Hill was first out of the swim transition with a 13:59, Mike Melley, 35, came out second with a 14:52.

“My brother and I arrived a little late,” said Elliot a TriScottsdale Gage Racing athlete. “The swim was a little tough but after that I got my rhythm.

The trail run is right up my alley. So I finally got it together on the run. I was lucky I was able to catch the amazing Cam Hill on the run.”

It was a close race. Elliot’s margin was 17 seconds.

When asked about Taylor, Elliot said “Thomas was with us on the swim. He had a really good swim. It has been awhile since I have raced Thomas. He has been doing most of the elite level trail running races like Worlds and Maui. I looked back a couple of times because Thomas runs so strong on the trails and is such a good all around runner.”

deuces wiLd FestiVAL

By Sue Berliner The Deuces Wild Triathlon Festival in pine trees and cool continues to attract more and more multisport athletes to Show Low for a weekend of events. More than 700 athletes came to participate in the events on June 5-6th. The weekend started off with the DeuceMan Half Ironman distance triathlon on Saturday. Also on Saturday the Olympic distance tri, Aquabike and the Kids Deucathlon. The festivities finished up on Sunday with the Xterra off-road triathlon. Some chose to race both days.

It was a very close race in the men’s division of Deuceman with just 21 seconds separating first and second. Bryan Dunn, 42, with the fastest bike split of the day (2:20:23) had a 3:50 second lead going into the run. Ryan McGuigan, 37, narrowed the gap with the fastest run in the half Ironman distance race with a 1:35:3, 3: 29 seconds faster than Dunn but it was not enough.

The podium saw lots of familiar faces: Katie Ellis, 25 winner of SheRox nabbed the Xterra women’s title. Angi Axmann, 26, winner of Tribal Sprint and Tempe International in May won the Olympic race in the women’s division with Christina Feliz, 31, in second. Feliz finished third at Tribal.

In the men’s Olympic Cam Hill, 43, second at Tempe International and Tribal Sprint snagged first. Hill’s fast swim and bike was a bigger cushion than Thomas Taylor, 35, could chew up with his smoking hot 5:57 mile pace run (36:58), earning the fastest run split and second. Taylor won the sprint at Tempe International.

In addition to a great weekend out of the heat participants enjoyed one of the best raffle of door prizes around. TriSports Racing produces the event and is dedicated to helping people achieve independence through sports by donating 100% of all proceeds to charity The funds raised benefitted Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), the Show Low Youth Recreation and Sports Foundation and additional charities.
