Pursuing Passion

Publisher

A

re you familiar with a cardioid (an epicycloide with one cusp)? How about the implicit curve? It’s a winning bet you have met the cousin of both many times over and frequently in February. The cardioid and implicit curve are mathematical descriptions that result in a most familiar and often red symbol, the heart shaped curve.

Wikipedia offered up the following (and more) on the symbol: “The heart has long been used as a symbol to refer to the spiritual, emotional, moral, and in the past also intellectual core of a human being. As the heart was once widely believed to be the seat of the human mind, the word heart continues to be used poetically to refer to the soul, and stylized depictions of hearts are extremely prevalent symbols representing love.”

My lips turn up when I see the shape. The meaning of love and the heart symbol goes way beyond the romantic, unconditional parental or friendship forms for me. You can sense it in people, you are not sure how to describe it or what it is, but there is some spark, a deep rooted spirit or passion that can’t be contained. When you open your eyes to it, you can see it everywhere. You will find the shine not just in the Olympic athletes going for gold, Ironman participants or first time marathon runners but in ordinary people living extraordinary lives.

I love going to farmers’ markets, passion abounds there. Local organic farmer Bob McClendon, owner of McClendon’s Select (“The Big O” SWEAT Magazine August 09) supplies forty-plus top end restaurants in the Valley and he has a waiting list. McClendon’s is the anchor for two farmers’ markets, Town & Country Mall on Wednesdays and Old Town Scottsdale on Saturdays. The five or six smiling cashiers keep the constant lines moving all day. Once you taste his fresh picked asparagus, romaine lettuce or Tuscan kale, other’s produce will pale. You will become a star struck fan. A simple conversation with Bob on soil and spinach turns into something mesmerizing. We are talking dirt and greens here and he has me totally hooked. Now he has got me growing a variety of veggies in pots. Talk about turning into the glowing mom-to-be, I do a dance when something sprouts. My new favorite, sugar snap peas pulled from the vine. They have an incredible sweetness and rival my favorite food group, chocolate.

Then there is Ben Hershberger, certified master baker. You can find his artisan breads at the Phoenician Resort where he hones his craft before heading to New York in March. I first met Ben at the Scottsdale Farmers’ Market. Ben is solidly built with inviting blue eyes. It was love at first bite. Don’t fret; I am talking about his Chocolate Cherry Sourdough Bread. I celebrate special occasions with the sumptuous bread that is short on ingredients but memorable in taste. Ben says he starts with a basic sourdough recipe; flour, water, salt, and levain. Then he adds cocoa powder and melted couvature. Once it is mixed, he gently folds in some hefty chocolate chunks, and luscious dried cherries. But it was his description of how he makes his sprouted wheat bread that struck me. It is a laborious process; soaking the wheat and timing is critical to the process. In the instant Ben described the precise moment sprouts were ready (the tail a specific length), I knew he was no mere mortal but an impassioned artist that loved his craft.

I encourage you to nurture and seek out your passions, especially in the areas of health, fitness and nutrition. Look for your sugar snap pea. Find healthy foods you love to eat and incorporate them into a sensible nutrition plan. Pick activities you like. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Sustainability of anything becomes easier when fueled by heart. Turn that one dimensional cardioid of yours into a living, breathing and passion machine.

The Medically Weaker Sex

Men rule on the playing field: they can generally run faster, lift more, and throw things farther than women can. In medical terms, though, men are the weaker sex, reports the January 2010 issue of Harvard Men’s Health Watch. Why? It depends on a complex mix of biological, social, and behavioral factors.

Biological factors include the fact that, compared with men, women have substantially higher levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, which protects against heart disease. In addition, excess weight—although common in both sexes—is more of a problem for males. Women tend to carry excess weight on their hips and thighs, junk in the trunk, while men tend to carry a spare tire around their middle. Abdominal obesity is more damaging to health than lower-body obesity, sharply increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Among the important social factors are a set of traits that tend to be more common in men than in women. Type A behavior, stress, hostility, and anger have all been implicated as heart disease risk factors. Conversely, women generally have larger and more reliable social networks than men. Strong interpersonal relationships and support networks reduce the risk of many maladies. As for behavioral factors, smoking, drinking, and drug abuse are traditionally male problems. Although the gap has narrowed to some degree, males still dominate in these self-destructive habits.

Women also reap the health benefits of better diets. Meat-and-potatoes guys don’t eat veggies—but they should. Harvard Men’s Health Watch offered up suggestions for men (good advice for women as well) to achieve long and healthy lives, among the list: • Avoid tobacco.

• Eat more whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and less red meat, whole-milk dairy products, highsodium processed foods, sweets, and trans fats.

• Exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise nearly every day, including strength and balance work.

• Reduce stress, get enough sleep, and build social ties and community support.

• Seek joy and share it with others.

Teresa Fillman Diabetes is beginning to look more and more like a relentless pandemic. An estimated 7.8% of American’s have diabetes, and each year there are 1.6 million new cases of diagnosed diabetes. For Teresa Fillman, diabetes changed her personal life and ironically for the better thanks to the Tour de Cure.

For years, Fillman leisurely rode the same three-speed bike. On a whim, knowing she needed something a little more current, Fillman purchased a hybrid bike. With the new ride, she began taking cycling more seriously. After reading an ADA brochure about the Tour de Cure, and considering her diabetic brother, she put together a team of three (husband, friend and herself) and began training for what would be her first organized cycling event.

She enjoyed the Tour de Cure so much, she developed a passion for cycling and the desire to help out a cause. Today she now owns three bikes and is the president of Southwest Bicycles Cycling Club, one of the tour’s long-time sponsors. She mentors other cyclists, organizes 30-50 mile weekly rides, volunteers on the Tour de Cure committee and is team captain for Southwest Bicycles, 30-plus member, 2010 Tour de Cure team.

Add to Southwest Bicylcles and Fillman’s efforts toward eradicating the disease at the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure in Tucson on March 7 and Phoenix, March 13. To register or sponsor a rider, visit www.tour.diabetes.org.

No Dogs at Pinnacle Peak Park Our apologies, in our October issue we mistakenly printed dogs were allowed at Pinnacle Peak Park. No dogs or bikes are allowed on the trail. One-hundred and fifty acre Pinnacle Peak is considered a moderate hike.

The smooth trail undulates up and down over 1.75 miles (one way) with an elevation gain of approximately 1,300 feet. An out and back hike, the highest point is 2,889’, the lowest point is 2,366’, and the elevation at the trailhead is 2,570’. Whether hiking, horseback riding or rock climbing, the trail provides panoramic views of the Valley. Rock climbing, for experienced climbers with appropriate gear, is permitted in three areas of the park with a variety of routes and skill levels.

The park is located 26802 N. 102nd Way Scottsdale, AZ 85262, (1 mile S. of Dynamite & Alma School). For hours and more details on the park visit www. scottsdaleaz.gov/parks/Pinnacle.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” —Howard Thurman, American author, philosopher, theologian, educator and civil rights leader

Yoga Bear Meets Joyful Yoga

Halle Tecco, believes cancer survivors can benefit from yoga as a complementary treatment to aid recovery from the harsh affects of cancer treatment. That was Tecco’s motivation in 2006 for founding Yoga Bear, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to providing cancer survivors with additional opportunities for wellness and healing through the practice of yoga. By partnering with local yoga studios, Yoga Bear provides yoga classes to cancer survivors free of charge. The most unique aspects of Yoga Bear is its focus on survivorship. Many other organizations in the cancer community advocate for prevention or finding a cure for cancer, but few help survivors heal physically and emotionally after treatment.

With a name like Joyful Yoga Studio, it makes sense Yoga Bear would partner with the Chandler studio. Through Yoga Bear, Joyful Yoga studio is offering cancer survivors in the community a free 10-class pass and encouraging involvement in a regular yoga practice.

“Those recovering from a bout with cancer would find our Relax & Renew Yoga and Gentle Yoga classes a great place to gain strength and learn stress reduction skills,” said Syd Hoffman, owner of Joyful Yoga Studio. “We are thrilled to join the Yoga Bear community and look forward to sharing our beautiful studio with more courageous cancer survivors.”

Joyful Yoga Studio offers a full yoga curriculum, Zumba and Pilates classes, Pilates Reformer lessons and more at an affordable price; located at 3900 W. Ray Road, Chandler. For more information and a complete class schedule, stretch into www.joyfulyogastudio.com or call 480-726-6399. Post-treatment cancer survivors interested in learning more about participating in classes through Yoga Bear can find out more and register for classes by visiting www.yogabear.org or by calling the organization’s Arizona Chapter at 480-227-3302.

Half Marathon Added to RNR San Diego

For the past 12 years, the annual Rock N’ Roll Marathon in San Diego has been one of the signature events of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Team In Training (TNT) charity sports training program. Beginning with the race’s 13th year on June 6, 2010, LLS will become the exclusive charity of the renamed Rock N’ Roll San Diego Marathon & Half to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

The Competitor Group, Inc., (CGI), the race’s organizer, added a half marathon to the event. Final details of the new course, will be announced at a later date. Funds raised by TNT participants have helped LLS support thousands of research studies over the years from early discoveries that led to new advances in targeted therapies, as well as improvements in the quality of life for patients.

TNT, the world’s first and largest charity sports training program, has raised $1 billion since its inception in 1988, and trained more than 420,000 participants.

TNT is often credited with bringing the greatest numbers of new athletes to endurance sports in the world. They started with running programs, then 100-mile cycling rides and triathlons, and now adventure hikes. TNT’s partnership with Rock N’ Roll help change the face of marathoning and fundraising launching the second running boom. Their efforts are attracting historic numbers of women participants.

Ninety percent of TNT participants are first-timers, and 75 percent are women. To learn more about TNT visit www.teamintraining. org or call the Arizona office at 602-567-7642. For more info on Rck N’ Roll San Diego visit www. runrocknroll.com.

Amica Returns to Arizona in 2010 The triathlon series that held its 2009 finale in Phoenix is now called the Amica 19.7 Sprint Triathlon Series, commemorating the year Amica Insurance was founded (1907).

The series currently consists of seven events throughout the country. Two additional events are slated to be held in New England and will be announced soon.

“The Amica Triathlon Series is a great sprint series. The competition was tough and the course was challenging in Phoenix last fall. I would certainly encourage triathletes of all levels to compete in any one of the events in the series,” said Joe Gambles, winner of the 2009 Amica Sprint Triathlon in Phoenix.

2010 Amica 19.7 Triathlon Series Schedule of Events: • Amica TexasMan Triathlon, May 16 (Dallas, Texas) • Amica 5430 Sprint Triathlon, June 20 (Boulder, Colo.)

Head for the Hills when Riding Bad air days are as common bad hair days in the Valley. When you hop on the saddle you may want to head away from the bustle of the city and higher elevations on the outskirts of town.

Cars, trucks and buses emit considerable amounts of airborne pollution as they make their ways along city streets and highways. The fine particles, nitrogen dioxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) spewing out of tailpipes have been linked to a wide range of human health problems, from headaches to respiratory illness to cancer. Though Australian researchers found that exposure to these pollutants is actually higher while riding inside a vehicle than while riding a bike, turning your handlebars in the direction of back roads might still be a good idea, for safety’s sake as well.

Western Washington University Geophysicist Bernie Housen, concerned about the air quality on his own bicycle commute along busy Bellingham roads, noted many cities that offer dedicated bike lanes often lay them out right next to busy bus lanes, unintentionally ensuring that bicyclists breathe in as much diesel exhaust as possible. He launched a study of the magnetism in local trees to gauge air quality along his route and elsewhere in his region. He found 10 times the magnetism on urban versus little traveled roads.

He would like to expand his research so it could be used by urban planners to better design bike and pedestrian routes so as not to intermingle so much diesel transit and pedestrian/bicycle traffic.

In the meantime, those who want or need to keep on riding through polluted areas should consider wearing an anti-pollution respiratory mask. –E The Environmental Newsletter

Instinctive Dieting

New diet and nutrition books flood the market at the height of resolution season as weight loss becomes a priority. The ”I” Diet publisher claims those on “I Diet lose, on average, 30 pounds—far more than on any other popular diet.”

“Too often, diets suggest that you squash down your instinctive feelings to eat,” says the author Dr. Susan Roberts, an internationally recognized expert on nutrition and weight control. A professor of nutrition and a professor of psychiatry at Tufts University, takes a revolutionary approach to dieting: The “I” Diet is based on using five food instincts to work for us, rather than against us. Hunger suppression, satisfaction and enjoyment come first … a counterintuitive approach for most lifelong dieters.

The “I” Diet (previously published as The Instinct Diet) shows us how to recognize and take charge of our food instincts. The book teaches how to use our natural biology and find the balance we need to lose weight naturally while eating well—really well—with healthy enjoyment. The recipe offerings don’t lack flavor or appeal. Who could turn down Chocolate Pecan Breakfast Bars or Orange Crumbed French Toast to start the day. Find The “I” Diet for $13.95 at your favorite book store or visit www.workman.com.

Real Performance Eating

Fuel-starved endurance athletes are notorious convenience eaters, scarfing pre-packaged products and expensive prepared foods that offer a quick fix for their ravenous appetites. But these food products and supplements leave athletes under-nourished, delaying recovery and preventing their highest performance. For endurance athletes, there is no substitute for real food. The Athlete’s Plate: Real Food for High Performance debunks the myth that busy athletes lack the time to fuel with real food. Professional chef and endurance athlete Adam Kelinson guides athletes from grocery store to kitchen, offering time-saving shopping and cooking strategies that make preparing delicious, nutritious meals a pleasure.

Kelinson demonstrates how buying local, seasonal foods will save time and money. He explains how organic whole foods provide more nutrients than conventionally grown food and how a minimalist approach to cooking is more convenient and nutritious than laborious gourmet recipes. He includes 85 tasty and nutritious recipes. Publisher and foodie, Sue Berliner, found the recipes easy to follow, she loved the Quinoa Tabouleh. The Athlete’s Plate retails for $24.00 and is available in bookstores, endurance sports shops, and www.velopress.com.

Running

into walls

magine jogging down Mill Avenue in Tempe. Temperatures are comfortable as it tops noon. People flood the nearby cafés.

Everything seems perfect. All of a sudden, this feeling of anxiety disrupts your peace. You decide to take a paranoid look over your shoulder: nothing unordinary.

Still, your nerves are unsettled. You increase the pace of your jog.

A few brief moments pass by, your imagination (or not) suddenly screams at you to run! Instinctively your heart rate spikes, your lungs expand, and your adrenaline overpowers your muscles as you hurtle over a waist-high wall and sprint towards an eight-foot gap across a wash that separates you from the quad ahead. There’s no going backward, only forward. Without ever losing your stride you leap across the break and dart up a twelve-foot wall to the rooftops.

You continue dashing and vaulting over vents and piping and narrow alleyways in between the buildings, soon drawing near the end of the block. Without thinking twice you dive off the ledge and grab hold of a tree branch before possibly hitting the ground, swinging yourself to a roll.

You’re still running from your fears, real or imagined. This time you’re going to lose them once and for all. You begin approaching a dead end, which in your world is merely another obstacle. You tic-tac off where the adjacent walls meet, vault yourself over the top, dropping down on the other side where you commence your jog down the avenue with a now clearer state of mind.

Just like Mollaka (Sébastien Foucan) being chased by James Bond (Daniel Craig) through a construction site during the opening scene of Casino Royale, you are a traceur, or traceuses if female, practicing parkour: translated into the art of moving.

14 SWEAT magazine

Parkour is the ability to run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, as if moving in an emergency situation using only the human body and improvisation. In technical terminology, parkour requires an emphasis on functional strength, balance, fluidity, precision, control, physical conditioning and spatial awareness of your surroundings as it utilizes your endurance in running, jumping, vaulting, climbing, balancing and quadruple movement in order to outrun your follower(s).

Since Casino Royale’s 2007 debut, parkour has gradually grown throughout the valley. One of the nation’s largest universities and right in our own backyard, Arizona State University will be the first to introduce a parkour class this spring. Instructing it will be recent ASU [Dance] graduate, Francesco Caban.

Caban also teaches parkour at Scottsdale Gymnastics. He has been progressively mastering the sport for three years. Prior to parkour, Caban practiced break dancing and acrobatics for several years since his early teens and was ASU’s Sparky mascot.

Every Sunday afternoon, he and his training group (Angelo ”Vo” Sapienza, Patrick Birks, Kenny McElwee, and Luke Lobert) can be spotted prepping themselves around Mill’s End Café in Tempe before using Mill Avenue and the surrounding infrastructures as a parkour playground.

Their training appeared very straightforward, as if anyone could learn the bare essentials of parkour and that was the point.

“Don’t ever look at the big picture if you want to avoid injury,” said Caban. “Take it slow. When it comes to dealing with parkour you want to train smart, not hard.”

“People perform their best when in their own state of harmony.”

—Francesco Caban

Parkour Training 101

Caban started off the three-hour Sunday session with a time everyone did their own thing at their own risk, and that’s when witnessing parkour firsthand became both memoratwenty-minute warm-up in the park to activate the body’s joints ble and infatuating in ways words and online videos cannot and muscles, and get the blood flowing throughout. After which describe. he led everyone in a series of key moves such as the proper roll, “The higher intensity the parkour movement is, the higher landing, and jumps. “Like with anything new, start with the intensity your training needs to be,” said Caban. “You don’t need basics. Even professionals every now and then have to go back to do hordes of push-ups or pull-ups to get good at parkour; you and be reminded of the fundamentals.”

He then led everyone to the courtyard behind Mill’s End Café simply just need to push yourself and keep practicing towards perfection.” where they performed a set each of a flag climb, which is placing With daylight coming to an end, the traceurs finished off their your body between two parallel walls and inching your way up to training session with a vaulting drill. They swiftly moved over a the top ledge, and a body press, which is similar to the flag climb series of short walls surrounding a parking lot by hurtling themexcept your body is parallel to the ground.

“Once we have accomplished something new, we repeat it every time we train Technical: 20 Minute Warm-Up: • Jog: 1 Lap Forward • Vaulting (creating your 1 Lap Backward own path and doing at • Wrist Twists • Flag Climb for muscle and neurological 1 Lap Side Skipping least 5 vaults per 5 laps) • Elbow Twists • Body Press memory,” said Caban. “Every 1 Lap Kicking the Bum •

Caban concluded the session by leaving a few general words moving. At first, Sapienza tested the long distance by leaping onto of advice, “With every physically demanding sport, like parkour, the opposing ledge from a closer ledge and gradually moving furtake some days to recuperate. Take a ‘physical fast.’ For example, if ther away until he conquered the full length of the gap. “You never put yourself in harm’s way,” said Sapienza. “But at some point you you have been practicing near nonstop for a month, take a couple weeks off to rest. If you beat up your body too soon, your body will just need to go for it.”

The group also balanced atop railings and ran up a twelve- eventually stop working for you.”

Whether it be real or imagined threats, or if being pursued foot wall with ease. Recently getting into parkour, Birks was having trouble with the wall because of its height. Caban put it by Bond, himself, by the end of the day Caban and his fellow traceurs showed firsthand how utilitarian, graceful, and fun parkour best while he offered his help, “You keep trying until you improve or accomplish the move.

Fitness Passion 2010

Matters of the heart abound during February. In my mind, that includes passion. So I posted a simple request on SWEAT’s Facebook Fan Page: Tell us your fitness passions and how or what would keep you motivated in 2010. We got some great responses, the most popular motivator: aging up into a new decade. So here are some of the responses written by SWEAT fans and readers. The last one is a bit more unusual, it is a challenge from one athlete to another. Look for more info on their challenge at www.sweatmagazine.com as details unfold next month.

What is your passion and what will motivate you in 2010? Feel free to challenge friends to join you.

By Sue Berliner

Jenna Grover Age: 20 | Tucson | Student

My fitness passion is definitely triathlon. I love the variety the sport gives. If I don’t feel like running, I always have the options of swimming or biking. Not only is it versatile but also surrounded by a fun community.

At races I get to see families, pros and older people that just want to have a good time and work hard. The happy atmosphere keeps me grounded. It reminds me that fitness is for fun and for pushing our own limits.

Ultimately, the older racing folks remind me to enjoy my body all my life; pushing me to try new workouts and races for the fun of it.

Sue Meno Age: 39 | City: Anthem

2010 is the year I turn 40. Hey, that is one silly motivator. My fitness passion rests in triathlon, primarily Ironman [distance]. I stumbled into the sport a short three years ago and have accomplished a lot in a short time. This year my motivation will need extra drive as I cope with a herniated L5 S1! As I have been managing this injury, it has taught me patience, discipline and appreciation of what I have done and what my family and friends have endured as I traveled the path to the IM World Championships. But, what will motivate me most this year is watching and helping this wonderful group of athletes in our community who have signed on for their first IM. I hope to race with them in November and will be likely more thrilled when they cross the finish line than myself.

As my coach has taught me, getting to the start line is harder than getting to the finish.

Nick Hart Age 30 | Phoenix

2010 will be the year of running for me, namely longer distances. It would be nice to run faster, but I would rather run farther and more frequently. I can’t explain why I love running so much, but I do. I love the challenge.

The first part of 2010 brings an ambitious

22 SWEAT magazine

race schedule for me: two marathons, one half marathon, one 50K and one 50 mile trail race by March. I hope to add at least 2 more marathons later in the year. Races are my motivation to push myself and endure the fatigue. Long runs with my GU, water bottle and IPOD are so much more enjoyable when I have that race date circled on my calendar.

lean. Though I’ve never had major weight problems the last few years have been...oh let’s call it, a little South of very active. I will be half-a-century on Dec. 31. Age has always only been a number to me. But recently I looked in the mirror and noticed I look…well 49. Frightening! So having never done new years resolutions, I’ll call this my “just get the heck back in shape already“ goal for my 50th.

Jason Fine

I am passionate for fitness in 2010 for myself and my business because this year is the best year (no time like the present) to be fit, stay fit, achieve new health goals, achieve new milestones in half marathons and triathlons.

In addition, the world and our children are in need of a role model to lean on or pushed extra to get the desired goals. With more than half of our population overweight and a third obese- 2010 is the year! I am passionate for helping my 12 participants in the “Never Again in Twenty Ten” lose some weight and live a healthier and more balanced lifestyle for themselves and their children. Therefore, I need to be striving to set new goals and pushing myself physically more than I have in past years. 2010 will be an amazing year.

My fitness passion is cycling to stay healthy. I love to be out on the road in the fresh air with the wind blowing on me…at least if it is not too much wind! I accidently found cycling when I hurt my foot and everyone that I met on the road was so nice and helpful about what I should do to get better. I will never be the best…but I have a lot of fun trying!

Well, since my visit to Xterra Nationals in 2006 I spent the last few years racing road and MTB. Recently, I have really not been doing much of anything. It’s time to get off the couch and do some off road triathlons!

I am calling out Mike Melley (former ASU swimmer, RedRock Co.). I challenge you, Mike, to race the double header: Four Corners and Deuces Wild June 5-6th. Here’s the catch, we must do these (dirt tri) races on Single Speeds. Best of 3 races, the finale is the Urban Dirt Tri in Tempe, October 10th. We will race for a charity and create a FB page for enthusiasts to pick the spread of time and the overall winner. There will be swag from Louis Garneau, Redrock Co, and WTB.

My fitness passions are mountain biking, hiking and running these days. Not as often as I should for the past few years. An auto accident some years back ended my triathlon days. But I always remained fairly fit and

February 10

My fitness motto and daily motivation for 2010 and the rest of my life is “train today to keep the gains I made yesterday” and “train to not suck at life.” As a soon-to-be 40-year-old fitness professional, many think that it comes natural to remain motivated day-in and dayout. I do something physical almost every day for fun and competition, some with more zest than others, but just like anything else, your hobbies and passions can become “work” too without the infusion of something special. My special motivator and passion is the daily competition of comparing my results of CrossFit challenges and a couple very fun triathlons with my family and friends. Fun and competition is what keeps me ticking!

The Athlete’s Kitchen

What’s New in the Healthy Food Scene?

Copyright: Nancy Clark MS RD CSSD January 2010

H

ere I am, walking through the American Dietetic Association (ADA) Food and Nutrition Expo that is held in conjunction with ADA’s Annual Convention.

ADA, the nation’s largest group of nutrition professionals, has over 70,000 members and this huge expo hall is filled with registered dietitians sampling new food products. Booth after booth of vendors are inviting me to sample their goodies. Mind you, no one leaves this expo hungry!

Here’s a peek at a few new healthful foods (well, some are new and some are forgotten treasures) that taste good, are good-for-you, and can add variety to your daily sports diet.

Look for them in your local grocery store, natural foods store, or on the internet.

Frozen Fruit Bars The “Power of Fruit Frozen Fruit™ Bar” will be a welcomed and refreshing snack for half-time at the kids’ soccer game—or for you after your sweaty workout! They are made with 100% whole frozen fruit, with no added sugar, color or preservatives. The frozen fruit bar looks like a hefty freeze-pop, but you can actually see bits of real fruit—banana, pineapple, mango, berries. www.poweroffruit.com

KIND Fruit & Nut Bars I know why KIND can claim to be the fastest growing brand of energy / nutrition bars. They taste great! They contain only wholesome natural ingredients—whole nuts, chunks of fruit, and honey. While they might be a bit sticky if you snack on them while biking, at least they taste finger-licking good! Five percent of profits from sales of the KIND bars are used to fund programs that foster tolerance and coexistence in the world. Hence, the name of their website is www.peaceworks.com, and their slogan is “Be KIND to your body, your taste buds and the world.”

Omega Cookies Touting “pure science baked into a yummy treat,” Omega Cookies offer a whole day’s worth of omega-3 fats (500 mg EPA and 1200 mg DHA, equal in potency to a salmon filet or 8 fish-oil capsules). With 270 calories, the cookie can be a tasty pre- or post-workout snack, or even part of a breakfast on the run. Being rich in fiber, calcium and vitamin D, the cookies are preferable to a donut or cake-like muffin, that’s for sure! Keep them in your freezer, and

take one or two out for a quick thaw, when needed. www.omegacookie.com Welch’s Grape Juice: Not a new kid on the block, but promoting a new message, Welch’s reports their grape juice (either purple or white) is antioxidant rich. Grape juice is also a local alternative to “tropical superfruits” such as acai berries that get flown in from the Amazon and leave a huge carbon footprint.

Other antioxidant-rich juices include tart cherry juice (CherryPharm) and pomegranate juice (POM Wonderful). All promote hearthealth and a strong immune system. Drink them straight-up, or as the base for a fruit smoothie, blended with other colorful fruits.

Blueberries A potent source of antioxidants, (frozen) blueberries claim to have the highest antioxidant capacity per serving, compared with more than 20 other fruits. Wild blueberries rank even higher than cultivated blueberries, but all blueberries are a good addition to your sports diet. Blueberries may help reverse the short-term memory loss that comes with aging, reduce inflammation that is associated with cancer and heart disease, and like cranberries, can reduce urinary tract infections.

Sprinkle a handful of frozen berries on top of your breakfast cereal, zap in the microwave for 30 seconds, then douse with milk. Voila— you’ll think you are eating blueberry cobbler for breakfast. Yum!

Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt (by Stonyfield Farms).

If you haven’t tried Greek yogurt yet, you are missing a treat! Available in 5-ounce single servings, Oikos is incredibly smooth, creamy and indulgent. It’s hard to believe this healthful yogurt is really fat-free and has only about 80 calories per serving. Greek yogurt offers twice the protein of regular yogurt, and can be easily enjoyed mixed with fruit.

Eggs Yes, remember the whole egg, yolk and all?

Research has failed to even suggest that healthy people who eat egg yolks have a higher rate of heart disease, so why not eat the whole egg. Enjoying one or two eggs for breakfast is unlikely to give you a heart attack!

(1) Half of an egg’s protein is in the yolk, along with a myriad of health-promoting nutrients that help athletes thrive, including iron,

folate, vitamin D, zinc, B-12, and riboflavin (plus more). Enjoying eggs for breakfast can be a good weight-reduction strategy because eggs are more satiating than just a carb-based breakfast (toast, bagel). You’ll tend to stay “full” for longer after breakfast (2).

Barramundi.

Not a fan of salmon or strong-tasting fish?

Try Barramundi (means “fish with big scales” in an Australian aboriginal dialect).

Barramundi are a sweet, mild-tasting white fish (similar to cod) that have the omega-3 content of wild Coho salmon. Barramundi have the rare ability to make omega-3’s from plants (unlike salmon that eat small fish).

This means Barramundi have no mercury and are eco-friendly, with a small environmental footprint. They are raised using sustainable aquaculture and were crowned the 2009 “Seafood Champion” for oceanfriendly production practices. Definitely worth seeking out (either fresh or frozen) at Whole Foods, Costco, Legal Seafoods, and likely your local supermarket. A good catch!

Chicken and Beef Strips This isn’t just ordinary jerky; this is good stuff that has great flavor and texture! Silver Creek has created a variety of moist, tender and very tasty strips, such as dried chicken breast with black bean salsa and cheddar, and dried beef sirloin with cranberries and blueberries. Each strip has about 50 calories, 10-12 grams of protein and 1-2 grams of fat. They are a handy pre-wrapped, not-messy snack for hiking, biking, cross-country skiing—a welcomed protein alternative to keep you from getting “sugared out” from too many gels and sports drinks. Or just keep them filed under “emergency food” for a satiating afternoon snack at the office. www.silvercreekspecialtymeats.com

The Bottom Line The more variety in your daily diet, the more likely you are to enhance your intake of a wider variety of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other health protective compounds.

Instead of eating the “same ol’ stuff,” find a few new menu items that are convenient, taste good, and support your goals for good health and high energy.

Dawn to Dusk

By Alex Glassman

By Alex Glassman

It was a chilly 8:30 a.m. when the first wave for the Muddy Buddy took their marks. But once the alarm sounded and the bikes ripped through McDowell Mountain Regional Park, the overcast sky parted and the spectators excitement energized the event. The Muddy Buddy was a total 6-miles, consisting of various obstacles for teammates to overcome before transitioning between biker and runner.

Overall for the event, team PING Men (John Solheim and Paul Wood) came in first. When they were crossing the mucky mud pit, with the checkered banner just a few yards in site, both team members looked back after a colossal splash sprayed the audience and caused an echo of screams. It was team SOLECRUSHER (Brett Dombrova and Boone Ebel) closing in fast, finishing twenty seconds behind team PING Men. “That was exhilarating,” said John Solheim. “I was having such a blast in the mud pit until team SOLECRUSHER dove in head first after us.”

For the Beast overall, the wave in which team members had to weigh a combined 300 pounds or more, the Dell Boys (Brian Buzzard and Sean Ryan) took the gold and another medal for finishing fourth overall in the event. Both friends jokingly stated, “A lot of training went into this win: a lot of food and a little hope your buddy weighed more than you.”

Giving them a run for their machismo, finishing fifth overall and seven seconds behind, were the Dell Boys significant others the Park Gals (Rachel Buzzard and Rebekah Ryan).

After about a quarter of the field trampled through the mud pit it transformed to cement, trapping competitors up to their knees and elbows and claiming shoes as souvenirs. Once buddies crossed the finish and hosed themselves down, they received their awards and got to watch the kids compete in the Mini Muddy Buddy.

Ten hours of glorious mountain biking took place at the 16-mile loop around the Pemberton Trail in McDowell Mountain Regional Park.

The objective: to endure as many laps as possible within the given period. It was a cool and clear day, and each of the 500 participants pushed themselves through their pain during this dusty and competitive event this past December 5th.

In the Solo Overall Women category, tackling one extra lap gave pro triathlete, Katie Ellis, the win over second place finisher Pam Houle.

Regardless of the sport, you will find Ellis at the front of the pack.

Fall of 2009 she placed second at the Aflac IronGirl and Soma Half Iron Triathlon. Third went to Ellis’s friendly rival throughout the triathlon world, Windy Marks, who continuously places a few seconds behind Ellis. Marks, whose roots are in adventure racing, unfortunately broke a crank arm early on in the race. Brian Bennett represented the men on the first place podium with a decisive victory.

In the single speed women’s division, Sarah Wallick claimed the victory, and in the men it was Mike Melley. Despite sharing the same last name, Scott Countryman and Aaron Countryman are not related in any way. They battled throughout most over second and third place, being decided by an eleven-second gap in between their final times.

Another very close bout was between first place finishers in the team-due overall men, Those Fools (James Gerber and Keith Koller), and second place holders, E.N.YT (Eric Salstrand and Bill White). From the first to fourth lap of the race, E.N.YT was a close couple of seconds ahead of Those Fools. But after a pass during the fifth loop, Those Fools were able to maintain the lead by nanoseconds over a second ahead of E.N.YT. One other dramatic race was in the team-duo single speed overall women between Gearless Girls (Holly Hovious and Kari Redfield) and Hop Knaughty (Katie Tuttle and Janet Kerby). The Gearless Girls won the fight after taking a five-second lead in the final lap of their eight-lap race, which was just enough time to give them a two-second overall win over Hop Knaughty.

The tiresome day was nothing but battle after battle in each category. No matter where riders placed, they tested their will and all succeeded in accomplishing the DCB Adventures’ Dawn to Dusk.
