ow, 20 years? I can still remember when the first magazine came off the press.

Massive rolls of off white paper streamed over huge metal drums. The smell of ink wafted through the air. First yellow ink saturated the paper. Magenta followed. Images took shape once the dots of cyan hit the paper. Black completed the mesmerizing process. Thoughts, words and images were fixed.

Twenty years ago I did not imagine my life would be steeped in SWEAT. Perusing through more than 200 magazines brought back so many memories, not just from my life but of the Arizona sports and fitness scene and its growth. It has been amazing on both fronts. Our compliant climate draws a host of major league events and amateur to professional athletes to train in Arizona. I feel very fortunate to have met so many incredible human beings, not just athletes over the years.

In 1992 Team Motorola chose the Valley to introduce the new team to the world. I happened to be the only female among twenty-five or so male Motorola employees that got to ride with the team. An up and coming young Lance Armstrong was there. I felt like a love struck teenager when interviewing Australian Phil Anderson, the first non-European to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France. I eventually got more comfortable with meeting and interviewing athletes. Most I have met have been gracious, humble and feel fortunate to be doing what they love.

I admit being a bit star struck when meeting Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in 2007.

That was a whole different ball game. And most recently, I was not so much star struck but nervous and in awe. This past November I met and did a live Q & A with three time Ironman World Champion Chrissie Wellington before Ironman Arizona. Talk about gracious, and what an ambassador for the sport of triathlon and women in sports. Learning about her accomplishments and listening to her stories left an indelible mark and inspired me beyond belief. I know many others that had the chance to meet her and felt the same.

I am blessed to have so many great encounters and appreciate the occasional VIP treatment being part of the media affords me. However, it is meeting the giants that walk among us that have had the greatest impact on me and my daily life. You know who I am talking about, your friends who inspire you to keep going everyday. Like my 80 year old friends still competing, the friend that lost 60 pounds or the one that is able to smile though survived major trauma. They are the people that regularly appear on the cover and inside the pages of this magazine. For word sake only, it is all the “average Joes and Janes” doing the extraordinary. That would be you, my friends − SWEAT readers. You amaze me each and everyday and have kept me in the game much longer than I could have ever imagined. I thank you for that gift and for reading and supporting SWEAT. I am grateful for an incredible group of advertising clients. Not only are you awesome clients but great friends. I appreciate all that you do for me, SWEAT and the community.

The same can be said for my writers, editors, interns, designers, distributors, printers and vendors. And of course I can’t thank my family and friends enough.

The past 20 years has been an incredible journey. To all of you, my big circle, my larger family, a very heart felt thank you filled with love.

I look forward to seeing and spending more time with you in 2011.

Wishing you all the very best for you and yours in this New Year.

You love to swim but hate to count laps, especially when your workout calls for a 2.4 miles in a pool. FINIS, a leader in technical swimming development and provider of select training equipment for the U.S. Olympic Swim Team recently released the Swimsense® Performance Monitor (powered by SportSense), an intuitive device worn around the wrist while swimming. Using motion sensing technology, the Swimsense automatically detects and distinguishes stroke types, records the number of laps swum, total distance, calories burned, lap time, pace and stroke count. With built-in automatic stroke recognition Swimsense is the first performance monitor that can automatically differentiate between backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and Freestyle. Custom settings allow the user to configure Swimsense for unique pool sizes, and personalize calorie calculations by specifying gender, weight and age. It was easy to program and accurate even in a non-standard pool size.

Swimsense comes with a docking port and USB Cable and retails for $199.99 at a variety of retailers including finnis.com.

One can’t have enough ear buds. When it was time for a drive, publisher Sue Berliner tested the Plugz by iFrogz. The one-color, noise-canceling ear buds with built-in mic delivered clear sound while taking a call or listening to music or a book on her BlackBerry®. Her voice was clear to callers when using the built in mike. The ear buds and mike combination offered more versatility than blue tooth types of devices. No batteries to charge and one device suitable for tune time or telephone talk made Plugz a much better and simpler travel companion. Three tip sizes are included. Plugz retails for $19.99.

Wayne Hammonds Owner, All-in-One-Fitness Years in the industry: 12 480-946-7511 Best fitness advice received: Stay focused.

Set fitness goals and exercise daily, 30 minutes to an hour. Don’t eat more calories than you can burn in a day, max 3,500 calories.

Eat in moderation.

Best advice to stay fit for a lifetime for others: It takes four things to build the body: proper dieting, proper exercise, proper rest and time.

20 SWEAT magazine

Years in the industry: 30 villageclubs.com Best fitness advice received: Keep a lot of variety in your work outs. Mix it up so you can stick with your fitness program and not get bored.

Also, if you like to participate in outdoor activities like I do, i.e. tennis, golfing, skiing or hiking, its important to balance your program with both strength and aerobic exercises so that you can stay fit enough to do the things you love for as long as possible.

Best advice to stay fit for a lifetime: You can’t view working out and exercise as a punishment for over eating, etc. Start out slow and gradually make exercise and fitness a part of your every day routine. You want to get to a place where if you don’t workout, you feel the same as if you didn’t brush your teeth that day. Fitness is not a quick fix, 2-week program. It is a lifestyle that requires balance. Balance your exercise program and balance your eating. Don’t diet. Don’t make exercise something complicated. It is really simple... you just need to get off the couch and start moving a little at a time and build from there.

The key is to just get started!

Amica 19.7 Phoenix Sprint

A gorgeous November morning at MacDonald’s Ranch in northern Scottsdale had 500 runners anxious to tackle an entirely new running course, two new obstacles, and the biggest mud pit to date. Hundreds of runners started their day donning costumes that would probably see just this one day of use. The winners of the costume contest, a 5 person team, were decked out in How The Grinch Stole Christmas costumes, in particular one Christmas tree with full ornamentation.

A mix of a fun run, a mud pit and a competition, the Mad Mud Run offered soap-on-a-rope awards for the top finishers in the one, two and five person team category (all male, all female, or mixed coed).

Some people took this event very seriously as a competitive four-mile run; for others, it was a fun activity among friends. The obstacle course resembled a boot camp, with a 6’ wall, belly crawl, cargo net climb, a hay bale and tire obstacle, balance beams, and of course the fun slimy mud pit.

A super-fast two person female team Lighting Loewens rocked Regional Park on Nov 7..

Collins, 27, finished the half-mile swim, 16.1-mile bike and 5k run in a the two person divisions in just 30:16. Different Crossfit teams from winning time of 1:07.36 to pick up his third professional win of the season. across the valley dominated in both two and five person divisions.

Most completed the course in 35-45 San Francisco Pan-America Cup in July 2010 and a month later captured the minutes. Kids got their own dose of crazy-fun with a special 100-meter San Francisco Alcatraz Triathlon.

Iron Girl

By Sue Berliner

PHOTOS BY ASI

November has become notoriously filled with events. Cooler temperatures seem to inspire lots of runs, rides and other events. A favorite among the ladies is the Irongirl 10 Mile and 5k that starts and finishes at Tempe Town Lake. Nearly 2400 came out for the event on November 21.

Near perfect cool temperatures prevailed.

It was a close race in the women’s ten mile event that took participants on a two loop course around Tempe Town Lake. Christina Derosa edged out Ariana Hilborn by 53 seconds. Tere Zachar finished nearly four minutes later.

In the 5k Rebekah McGounty easily outdistanced her competition with an 18:37. But Sarah Carter, second place finisher, is definitely an up and comer and someone to keep an eye. Carter took first place in

the 10-14 year age group with a time of 21:07. A long Valley triathlon standout, Jane Esahak-Gage won the 45-49 age group and was the first Masters in the 5k.

The event has always been a great way for mothers and daughters to connect and as usual there wer many mother daughter teams. The event always finishes off with a stellar breakfast buffet and lots of door prizes.

Ironman Arizona

By Sue Berliner It was a record breaking day at the Ford Ironman Arizona on November 21, 2010 in Tempe. A deep pro field thick with talent gave the race an Ironman World Championship feel without the lava. Eratic weather including wind, rain and hail prevailed throughout the day taking the biggest toll on the age group athletes.

Germany’s Timo Bracht and Great Britain’s Chrissie Wellington celebrated wins. Wellington went 10 for 10 on her Ironman starts and finishes.

Bracht, a multiple-Ironman champion, crossed the finish line nearly four minutes ahead of second-place finisher, Rasmus Henning (DNK). His winning time of 8:07:16 bested the previous overall record of 8:13:35, which was set in 2009 by defending champion, Jordan Rapp (USA).

Wellington, a three-time Ironman World Champion, finished eighth overall and set a new world record at an official Ironman race. Wellington crossed the line in 8:36:13, nearly 30 minutes ahead of second-place finisher, Linsey Corbin (USA). After crossing the finish line Wellington exclaimed this was her Kona. With a big smile across her face, she did the Blazeman roll across the finish line to show her support of the Blazeman Foundation and their battle against the vicous ALS. As a true ambassador of the sport, Wellington waited at the finish to greet second place finisher Lindsey Corbin.

John Dahlz (USA) was first out of the water ahead of top contenders including Henning, Matt Reed (USA) in his debut Ironman and Rapp.

Midway through the bike, Rapp took the lead with Chris Lieto (USA), Henning and Bracht in the chase pack. Bracht began to make his move at mile 90 of the bike and entered T2 four seconds ahead of Rapp. He remained in front throughout the marathon and crossed the line in first.

Henning and first-time Ironman Tom Lowe (GBR), (Wellington’s boyfriend) battled for second and third place and set the two fastest run splits of the day. Last year’s winner, Rapp, finished fourth. It was an emotional finish for Rapp, who suffered a near fatal bike accident in March of 2010.

Leanda Cave (GBR) who resides in Tucson, exited the water first, followed by Rachel Joyce (GBR), Meredith Kessler (USA) and Wellington. Cave lead for the start of the bike, but Wellington pulled ahead at approximately mile 32 and dominated for the remainder of the day. Wellington posted a 4:47:06 bike riding the last few miles on her rims after flatting. and a blistering 2:52:56 run for an overall time of 8:36:13, the fastest women’s time in Ford Ironman Arizona history. Corbin and Cave rounded out the podium, finishing in second and third, respectively.

A total of 2516 athletes ranging in age from 18 to 80 jumped in to the cold water of Tempe Town Lake as the sun rose. They were on a mission to cover 2.4 miles in the water, 112 miles on their bikes and 26.2 miles on their feet. It was a tough day but 2399 participants made it through the finish line by the time the clock struck midnight. S
