A New Ride

Publisher

A

sick feeling came over me when I pulled up to my driveway and discovered the garage door open after a hike on New Years day. A thief had stolen my Scott road bike and Giant full suspension mountain bike. My faded pink 1987 Vitus race bike and 1992 Bridgestone MB1 remained. The crook had dislodged an iron grate in the side of the garage to break in.

A first since starting to ride in 1984, I had to unwillingly replace a bike. It broke my heart.

My priority was replacing the road bike since I had many upcoming rides, tours and a half Ironman triathlon on my schedule. Without hesitation, I knew I would replace the 2005 Scott CR1 with the current model. The frameset had been a gift and it rekindled my passion for cycling. It fit like an old leather glove, I thoroughly loved riding it and we had bonded.

I had a Tour de Cure executive ride scheduled for one week after the loss; no chance I would have a new steed. A friend suggested I ride the vintage Vitus, calling it cool and rad. A five minute change of the cleats on my shoes and a brake tune-up sent me pedaling down the road on an old friend.

Easier said than done. The anodized aluminum frame, originally a brilliant fuchsia color, was a beautiful piece of art, popular and one of the lightest bikes in its day at 20 pounds. I retired it in 2004. I was comfortable with my position on the old bike but not the down tube shifting and especially not the gear combo. A 53/42 front chain ring combined with an 11/21 7-speed freewheel meant, in laymen’s terms, no easy gears.

After the Tour de Cure executive ride, my legs hurt and body ached way more than should have for that ride. A second more leisurely paced ride produced similar results and it was not my lack of fitness. Last season I thought I had been riding close to my Category III race levels of the late 80’s to early 90’s. A weekend on the Vitus changed my mind. I had been cheating, aided by technology. That experience showed me I had room for improvement.

Introduction of the Scott CR1 in 2004 ushered in a new era of carbon bike manufacturing technology and rewrote the meaning of “lightweight” bike frame. How does that song go “You don’t know what you got until it’s gone?”

Brad Levan of Tempe Bicycle built my new Scott CR1 SL and Kevin Weitzel of Tribe Multisport supplied the wheels. They concurred the 2011 model would be superior to the 2005 version. They said technology continued to improve the benefits of carbon. The 2011 would be more comfortable, lighter and stronger with better power transfer. My new ride, dubbed the black beauty, built with an upgrade to top of the line Simano Dur-Ace components, weighed in at 14 pounds before pedals and accessories. When all is said and done, I have a two pound advantage over my first Scott and dropped six pounds from the pink racing machine. Darn, no excuses anymore.

I had a chance to speak with Domenic Malvestuto of Domenic’s 2 Wheelers but timing did not allow me to include him in the feature How Technology has changed the Sport. Domenic started racing in 1961 in Italy, winning his first race when he was a Junior. He went to the World Championships representing Canada in 1969. I bought the Vitus from him and raced for his Team Strada.

Domenic said even with technology, it did not create so much of a difference in performance. “As a human, you still have to push the bike,” said Domenic.

So I will ride into the wind knowing it is all me and not about the bike.

Unlimited Personal Training Thirty minute personal training sessions for $69 a month, unlimited use and on your schedule, how can that be? The future of fitness has landed in Scottsdale. Hailed by Club Business International as “The next big thing in fitness,” and by BusinessWeek as “Just what the fitness industry needs,” Koko FitClub newest location will officially open on March 3. With locations opening across the United States and Canada, Koko FitClub provides the convenience of unlimited personal training sessions designed by world-class, celebrity trainers for just $69 per month. .

Through the science of its patented Koko Smartraining System™, Koko FitClub replaces the personal trainer with technology to precisely analyze each member’s unique fitness level. It then designs a customized training plan based on individual fitness goals and ability.

The Koko Smartraining System then dynamically creates personal workouts on Koko’s proprietary strength and cardio

equipment, packing all the benefits of a 60-90 minute personal training session in just 30 minutes or less.

The Koko Smartraining System replaces personal trainers with technology to make every Koko workout session foolproof. Members receive year-long training plans designed by world-class, professional trainers to achieve their specific personal fitness goals, with customized workout for every visit. It coaches members on exactly how to do each exercise, prescribes proper workload, and monitors pace and progress in real-time.

Session results are used to update and adapt all future workouts based on progress which is then tracked on each member’s own personal web page.

Arizona native, Dave West and his partner Alan Cohen, own and operate the gym. According to Dave, “Koko FitClub isn’t just another ‘gym’. It is a totally new fitness solution for men and women who have given up on traditional gyms due to high cost, poor results or lack of time.

The new Koko FitClub is located in North Ranch Center at 6245 E. Bell Rd, Suite 113, with hours from 5am to 11pm daily. For more info visit scottsdale.kokofitclub.com or call 480-588-6602.

Win a Cruiser Bike Registering early for an event has its benefits and: better pricing and now a chance to win a cruiser. All athletes registered for a Red Rock Company Spring Triathlon (1 event) by March 15 will be entered into a drawing to win a free cruiser from Landis Cyclery. One male and one female athlete will be chosen from the pool of all registered athletes. Each individual registration counts as an entry into the drawing. Register for 3 events and get 3 entries in the drawing.

March 11

Zengel will be coordinating neighborhood runs from the store, as well as trail runs on Saturdays.

Details will be posted at the store and at swiftfeetaz. com. Swift Feet is open Tuesday through Sunday. For more information call the store at 623-825-1547.

And with Red Rock’s new user friendly registration cancellation policy you don’t have to worry about cancelling your registration. Starting with Marquee Triathlon and for all Red Rock Company owned events, they are taking an unheard of stance in the industry, by allowing you to cancel your registration for an event and receive a credit for your entry fee, which you can then use for another Red Rock event or transfer to a friend.

The race organizers are also athletes and understand things happen that prevent you from being able to race.

They felt it was time to be more flexible. For details and their schedule of events visit redrockco.com.

Fatima Sharif You never know what inspires someone to start cycling.

Fatima Sharif started cycling with a nudge from her little brother after her 94 year-old grandmother passed away.

“About 6 years ago my little brother Hassan encouraged me to get involved with a cycling event,” said Sharif. “Little did I know this cycling event was one of the great cycling events in Arizona and for one of my two favorite causes. It was around this time that our grandmother passed away after diabetic complications. She was a 94 year-old double amputee.”

41st Arizona Sports Hall of Fame The Phoenix Regional Sports Commission and the Phoenix Suns Gorilla recently announced the 2011 inductees to the Arizona Sports Hall of Fame. They are former NFL player Randall McDaniel, World Champion rodeo cowboy Ty Murray, former MLB pitcher Curt Schilling and Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug.

For the first time, a team will be inducted into the Hall of Fame and will be selected by a public vote. The results were being tabulated at press time. The Hall of Fame honors athletes, coaches and administrators who have made significant contributions to Arizona sports.

The honorees will be recognized during the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on March 31 at 3 p.m. at Wild Horse Pass Hotel and Casino, Chandler.

The Gorilla will serve as the Community

“I saw what diabetes could do to the elderly and knew my fundraising efforts for the Tour de Cure and my cycling a metric century every year would help other seniors like my grandmother.

Interestingly, cycling became a part of my life and my cardiologist also said it was a great form of exercise for heart patients like myself. I think my little brother got me involved not only for our grandmother, but also because I had begun to experience heart problems approximately three decades after open heart surgery.

Who knew that the Tour de Cure through philanthropy would allow me the opportunity to help others, but has also helped to save my life and improve my heart health?”

Fatima Sharif was the Top Fundraiser in the 2010 Tour de Cure, raising close to $ 5000. She has raised over $10,000 since first participating in 2006.

Join Sharif and others in the 2011 Phoenix Tour de Cure on Saturday, March 12. Register at diabetes.org/tour and use the PROMO Code SWEAT for $ 5 off the registration fee.

Chairperson of this year’s induction ceremony. General admission and VIP tickets, $75 and $150 respectively are available at phoenixsports.org.

The Arizona Sports Hall of Fame was founded in 1957 by the Phoenix Press Box Association. The Association held 36 induction ceremonies before ceasing operations in 1991. The Sports Commission assumed custodianship of the Hall of Fame and held inductions in 1999, 2001 and 2002. The Sports Commission re-launched the Hall of Fame in 2009 as its largest annual fundraiser. The Phoenix Regional Sports Commission created in 1988 is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. The mission of the Sports Commission is to “Enrich our community through sports” by representing the citizens of the Valley to bring national and international sporting events to the state, assist in the promotion of existing events and teams, and support youth sports programs.

he recent theft of my 2005 Scott CR1 SL sent me back in time

briefly riding my vintage Vitus. Then I catapulted to the head of the class with my new 2011 CR1 SL. Two Bud Morrison riding to Tucson on a high wheeler, the predecessor to bikes with a chain and drive train.

fatiguing 45 mile rides on the faded pink anodized aluminum frame, a hot ride in 1987, and the experience of replacing a bike got me thinking. How has technology changed the sport of cycling? I posed the question to two long-time Valley bike shop owners, one Olympian turned tri store owner and two legends in the sports of cycling and triathlon.

“Just a few years ago carbon fiber was the exotic material in multi-million dollar racing cars. Today it is the material of choice in premium products in the bicycle industry.”

—Bud Morrison, owner, Tempe Bicycle

“I

t does not seem possible that I went from a recreational bike rider to full time involvement in the bike industry almost forty years ago,” said Bud Morrison, owner of Tempe Bicycle. “From restoring and endurance riding the high wheel bicycles of the 1880’s, to being part of the design team for an entire line of bicycles in the 1980’s, we have been able to focus on the leading edge of bicycle design.”

Morrison remembers riding as a kid and it was always part of his life. He started riding recreationally in 1970 and opened Tempe Bicycle in 1976. He started riding high wheel in 1979. Today he also races vintage cars.

“Just a few years ago carbon fiber was the exotic material in multi-million dollar racing cars,” said Morrison “Today it is the material of choice in premium products in the bicycle industry. Entire frames, forks,

wheelsets and components are being artistically crafted from this magical material. The results are fantastic. Speaking as a person that has been a dedicated believer in Reynolds tubing, to now be riding the latest in carbon fiber bicycles, I have to admit that the carbon is vastly superior.”

“Today the bicycle industry is using state of the art computers to design products, and using wind tunnels to refine the shapes and performance of bicycles and related items. It is a privilege to be involved in such a dynamic sport.”

Morrison also noted the cultural importance of early innovations. In the late 1800’s bicycles moved from the Big Wheels to the Safety Bike—two smaller wheels with a drive chain. Morrison said this emancipated women allowing them to ride with a split skirt.

“In the history of cycling, the biggest and best innovation is the lowly bicycle chain.”

—Dick Landis, Landis

Not long after that period, Ben Landis opened Landis Cyclery in Phoenix.

“It was in February 1912,” recalled Dick Landis who owns the four Valley Landis shops along with brother Bob. “I remember my grandmother describing what an eventful spring that was. ‘Ben (granddad) started the business in February. Then I had (aunt) Elizabeth in March, then in April the Titanic sank.’”

Dick Landis, 60, started building bikes at 8 years old. “My father would pay me 7 1/2 cents for every bike that I assembled, ” said Landis. “That may not sound like much, but I know that on a good day I could make one dollar, and one dollar at that time was enough to buy three Los Compadres bean burros and a bottle of Barq’s root beer. That’s what I did every Saturday.”

Landis and Morrison agree on several counts.

Landis said the importance of technology is relative to the time frame.

“In the history of cycling,” said Landis, “The biggest and best innovation is the lowly bicycle chain. Before that innovation, the drive wheel was also the steering wheel, with the rider precariously perched atop a less than stable frame. The black oily thing that you curse every time you get a rear flat tire is what makes the modern bicycle possible.”

“After that revolutionary adaptation, everything else is evolutionary,” said Landis. “But some of them are great ideas and have had a huge impact even though we now take them for granted. The quick release mechanism was invented by a racer named Campagnolo whose hands were too numb and cold to change a flat tire during the Giro de Italia in 1929. He went on to do more including derailleurs and a really cool corkscrew.”

Landis said cycling took a giant step when Look introduced the clipless pedal in the early 80’s.

“Before clipless,” continued Landis. “Cleats were a plastic slot that was literally nailed to the sole of the shoe, probably in a spot that made your knees ache. Aerodynamics came to the forefront in the late eighties when Greg LeMonde overcame a huge time deficit to win the Tour de France by a mere eight seconds using aero bars.

“Frame materials continue to evolve. Steel, aluminum, and titanium have all had their day in the sun but for most riders nowadays the choice is carbon fiber.

Using CAD technology and the unique characteristic of directionality, carbon fiber can achieve cycling’s trifecta: comfort, lightweight, and efficiency. Just beware of frames using a blend of fiberglass in their carbon,” said Landis.

“Chasing technology can be a daunting task,” said Kevin Weitzel, 39. “Prior to the 50’s, the average bicycle racer just pitted their engine (their body) against another on very similar machines of various makes.”

Weitzel, a 1988 Olympian and owner of Tribe Multisport, started riding in 1975. He raced professionally from 1985-1989 and was a marine from 1989-1997. He also called out the quick release.

“Following the introduction of the Tullio quick release (courtesy of Campagnolo), the cambio derailleur (Campagnolo), and eventually the cable actuated derailleur... the technological race was on,” said Weitzel. “There have been several advancements in the cycling world that engineers and tinkerers alike have brought to our bicycles. There were various advancements throughout the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s... but these advancements were more or less simple refinements of previous models.

“It wasn’t until the 80’s that true technology was hitting the cycling and triathlon community like a ton of billet aluminum. Although developed many years earlier, it wasn’t until the 80’s that Look developed the 3 point pedal system that is still in use and the standard today.

Personally, I couldn’t imagine riding a bike with out them.

Index shifting blew up and was on everything from the top end racing bike to the lowly bargain priced mountain bike.

Now, you would truly struggle to find a new bicycle with anything but integrated shifting... again, another must on the steed.

“Materials have changed too. Carbon is everywhere.

It is light, can be cheap, and can be made into any shape imaginable. Companies like Cervelo spend tons of time and money in the wind tunnel to make their bikes as aerodynamic as possible without sacrificing ride quality.

Technology has given us some very impressive machines.

You can buy as much speed advantage as you want. It does make a difference.

“Training use to be a simple equation—ride, ride, ride. Now, with the new fancy machines, you have to add in heart rate monitors, power devices, GPS, and the myriad of applications to track your performance on the internet and you can easily get sucked into the world of technology.”

Six-time Ironman World Champion (1989-1993, 1995), Mark Allen raced during the technology onslaught.

“Technology started really changing with the handle bars with the Scott clip-ons,” said Allen, Co-founder and Head Coach, Train Smart, Get Results. “Then it spread to every square centimeter of the bike from frame to wheels to super lightweight components to everything aero, helmet on down. It was actually in some ways more peaceful when you just knew you had to ride fast because there was not as much variance in performance because of equipment.”

“But then it’s also fun to get on your race bike once it is all tricked out and feel the sensation of truly going faster than ever because of technology. That happened to me the first time I rode an aero frame with all tubes being aero. I could feel that I was finally limited by my fitness and not my equipment.

I was flying along at 28 mph with a normal effort, not even a race effort.

Pretty cool,” said Allen.

John Howard, Ironman World Champion 1981, started bike racing in 1966 and was an Olympian in 1968, 1972 and 1976.

“Older bikes defined their era just as classic cars and motorcycles defined theirs,” said Howard, 63, who set the land speed record at 152.2 mph in 1985 on a bike with down-tube shifting.

“Would I race my 24 pound 1960’s Schwinn Paramount at El Tour [de Tucson]? Of course not,” said Howard. “I would be completely outclassed, but does it really matter? The older machinery recalls a simplistic time when ‘state of the art’ meant something altogether different than what it means today.” “Bikes of yesteryear were hand crafted objects of kinetic art. They could routinely withstand forces that would destroy modern bikes, and they rode smoothly over rough pavement with the feel of solid reliable delivery that to my way of thinking was and is a lot more fun to ride than any of the carbon super bikes of the modern era. Riding an old bike is like turning back a page of history to a time before the world grew so complicated. Today it’s all about light weight and going fast, but old bikes constantly remind us that ‘fast’ and ‘slow’ are relative to the period. In the spirit of the times, I paraphrase Mahatma Gandhi, who said ‘One does not improve the quality of life by increasing its speed.’”

Landis’ recall of his favorite ride reiterates Gandhi and Howard’s sentiments.

“My favorite ride of all time was my first mountain bike ride, said Landis.” It was 1980 and my bike was a 40 pound Schwinn paper boy special that I had modified a bit. I remember thinking, ‘Wow, I shouldn’t be allowed to have this much fun.’ The trail that we rode on all that summer later became known as Desert Classic.”

Weitzel summed up the influence of technology on cycling well.

“Technology will never take over the fact that you are indeed the power plant behind the machine,” said Weitzel.

“But the more efficient you make your steed, the less your motor works to achieve the same outcome. Regardless of your perspective, the beauty of our sport (cycling or triathlon), the pure joy that one gets from the wind in their hair, the feeling of their heart beat in their skull and the pulsing of ones muscles to the point of failure will never be matched by technology... just made more efficient.” S JohnHowardSports.com MarkAllenonline.com TribeMultisport.com LandisCyclery.com TempeBicycle.com

The

MAF

Test

Dr. Phil Maffetone

A self-administered submaximal cycling evaluation to measure fitness

J

udging your performance solely by the watch on your wrist is woefully misleading. Those ticking seconds or digital readouts won’t tell you how fit you really are. They might indicate how fast you are going on that particular day, but in the long-term, you are much better served by a simple submaximal evaluation that includes the use of a heart-rate monitor.

A submaximal evaluation can be a reliable tool to help detect meaningful changes in fitness, even more accurately than VO2max, and it can predict peak and cycling race performance. In other words, as your sub-max effort at a given heart rate on the same test course improves, so should your race ability on this or other courses.

One of the many benefits of using a heart-rate monitor is to regulate endurance training—you should be able to generate more physical function with the same effort.

For example, with proper aerobic training, a cyclist should ride faster at the same heart rate as the weeks and months pass. This might also involve heart rate monitoring during your workouts to assure you stay at a level of intensity that builds endurance.

In the early 1980s I developed a submaximal evaluation for athletes to measure training progress. It’s called the maximum aerobic function test, or MAF Test. I also developed a heart rate formula to predict optimal aerobic training

14 SWEAT magazine

Some Comments from Pro Triathlete Mike Pigg: Before going on Dr. Phil’s program, I would sometimes ride to my parents’ summer place, which was sixty-five miles away and with three good climbs. My previous record was set with a good friend of mine. We had this total grudge match all the way to find out who was king of the bike. He would attack on the hills, and I was holding a heart rate between 165 and 182 to establish a record of three hours and fifteen minutes. When we arrived at the cabin, I achieved a total bonk. The best I could do for the rest of the day was eat, sleep, and eat some more, and even that was difficult. After five months carefully building my aerobic system, I attempted the same course again—this time solo and never going above 155 even on the long climb. The results were interesting—I went 3:09 and felt good enough to go for a ten mile run straight after. intensities. This was for those unable to be evaluated in an exercise physiology lab. It’s called the 180-Formula (see sidebar).

The MAF Test helps monitor training progress, assuring you get faster at the same heart rate. More importantly, the test will alert you if progress has stopped or is reversing—something you may not notice until it leads to overtraining, injury, or poor race performance.

The goal of the MAF Test is to measure how fast you can bike over a given distance at your aerobic maximum heart rate. Alternatively, you can measure how far you can go in a given time frame at the same heart rate. The test can also be done on stationary equipment measuring watts, for example, if the equipment is accurate. While I recommend using the heart rate found in the 180-Formula, any sub-max heart rate may provide similar results.

The best and easiest way to perform the MAF Test is to pick a relatively flat bike course

March 11

that takes about thirty to forty-five minutes to complete. Following an easy 12-15-minute warm-up, ride at your maximum aerobic heart rate, and record exactly how long it takes to ride the test course. (Avoid performing this evaluation during extremes in weather conditions as this could affect the outcome.)

As proper training builds more endurance, your times should get lower—you’ll ride faster at the same heart rate. Riding your course today, for example, may take 36:50. A month later it may take you 35:30 and after another month, 34:15. After three months of aerobic training, the same course may only take you thirty-three minutes.

Another option is to ride on a flat course and see how fast a pace you can maintain while holding your heart rate at your maximum aerobic level. This works best in a velodrome. Or, you can ride indoors on a training apparatus measuring watts.

www.sweatmagazine.com

As you progress, your speed should increase. If you start at 18 mph, for example, following a three-month period of building better aerobic function, you could be riding 24 mph at the same heart rate.

Perform the MAF Test regularly throughout the year and chart your results. I recommend doing the test about every month.

More often than that may result in mental stress; the “aerobic speed” you seek will usually not improve significantly within one week’s time (although occasionally it will). Focusing on the test this often can foster an obsession much like that seen in athletes who are addicted to weighing themselves on the scale daily or even more often. Performing the test irregularly or not often enough defeats one of its purposes—knowing when your training is going off course.

If something interferes with your endurance progress—which could be training too hard, dietary imbalances, or any kind of stress— you don’t want to wait until you’re feeling bad or racing poorly to find that out. Loss of fitness and health will be apparent from your MAF Test sooner than any other method, long before you get symptoms or see poor performances. S

Calculating Your Maximum Aerobic Training Heart Rate To find your maximum aerobic training heart rate, there are two important steps. First, subtract your age from 180. Next, find the best category for your present state of fitness and health, and make the appropriate adjustments: • Subtract your age from 180.

• Modify this number by selecting among the following categories the one that best matches your fitness and health profile: • If you have or are recovering from a major illness (heart disease, any operation or hospital stay, etc.) or are on any regular medication, subtract an additional 10.

• If you are injured, have regressed in training or competition, get more than two colds or bouts of flu per year, have allergies or asthma, or if you have been inconsistent or are just getting back into training, subtract an additional 5.

• If you have been training consistently (at least four times weekly) for up to two years without any of the problems just mentioned, keep the

March 11

number (180–age) the same.

• If you have been training for more than two years without any of the problems listed above, and have made progress in competition without injury, add 5.

• For example, if you are thirty years old and fit into category (b), you get the following: • 180–30=150. Then 150–5=145 beats per minute (bpm).

• In this example, 145 will be the highest heart rate for all training during your aerobic phase, allowing you to most efficiently build endurance and speed. Training above this heart rate rapidly incorporates anaerobic function, exemplified by a shift to burning more sugar and less fat for fuel.

• If it is difficult to decide which of two groups best fits you, choose the group or outcome that results in the lower heart rate.

In athletes who are taking medication that may affect their heart rate, those who wear a pacemaker, or those who have special circumstances not discussed here, further individualization with the help of a healthcare practitioner or other specialist familiar with your circumstance and knowledgeable in endurance sports may be necessary.

• Two situations may be exceptions to the above calculations: • The 180 Formula may need to be further individualized for people over the age of sixty-five. For some of these athletes, up to 10 beats may have to be added for those in category (d) in the 180 Formula, and depending on individual levels of fitness and health. This does not mean 10 should automatically be added, but that an honest self-assessment is important.

• For athletes sixteen years of age and under, the formula is not applicable; rather, a heart rate of 165 may be best.

• Once a maximum aerobic heart rate is found, a training range from this heart rate to 10 beats below could be used as a training range. For example, if an athlete’s maximum aerobic heart rate is determined to be 155, that person’s aerobic training zone would be 145 to 155 bpm.

However, the more training at 155, the quicker an optimal aerobic base will be developed.

This formula is not just useful for biking, but all other endurance activities, including running and swimming.

ankle

Dr. Bruce Werber

SPRAINS T his time of year ideal weather beckons runners and hikers to the abundant desert trails in Arizona. More people traversing rocky, rutted and uneven surfaces means the ankle sprain is starting to show up more frequently in the office. Basketball and volleyball seasons are always the main producer of this injury; but you would probably be surprised how many ankle sprains occur in outdoor sports like soccer, baseball, lacrosse and of course track and field as well as hiking. Ankle sprains have been reported to be approximately 20% of all sports injuries with more than 25,000 occurring every day in the United States.

Uneven, wet fields coupled with early season fatigue and competitive full-contact intensity equal injuries. The ankle is the joint that compensates for uneven surfaces. Eightyfive of ankle injuries are sprains, which are caused by a failure to compensate for this uneven footing. Jumping, cutting, and pivoting put the ankle at risk. Many athletes put themselves at further risk by not rehabilitating these injuries properly, returning to sport too early, and giving themselves an inadequate adaptive ability to uneven surfaces or sudden twisting. The use of narrow cleats with minimal arch support or the use of running shoes for a court sport can also place an athlete at risk for ankle sprains.

Ankle sprains occur in runners mainly because they are chatting away as they are on a long run and are simply not paying attention.

How many runners have you seen fall off the

16 SWEAT magazine

curb or in a pothole while running? Lots…Pay attention to where you are going and you can prevent this type of injury. If you know you are a klutz, run on an even surface, like a track, when you are tired or distracted.

If you have an ankle sprain, you should be evaluated by a sports medicine podiatric foot and ankle surgeon if you have localized pain, swelling and bruising, as well as inability to walk more than 5-7 steps comfortably. Many a foot fracture has been missed in the emergency room when x-rays were taken only of the ankle and not the foot. The fifth metatarsal is often broken with the same mechanism of injury of an ankle sprain, so the foot should be evaluated as well. If severe ligament injury is suspected, an MRI can evaluate the grade of injury. This is really what decides whether surgery is needed for full recovery.

Treatment for ankle sprains really depends on the degree of severity, which can only be determined by your doctor. Initial treatment always includes “R-I-C-E” therapy – Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. Pain and edema is usually controlled with non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAID) like ibuprofen.

Bracing or casting coupled with non-weight bearing on crutches may be needed in more severe injuries to rest and stabilize the ankle while it heals. Returning to pain-free range of motion (ROM) and stability is the goal. Surgery is only recommended in Grade 3 severe injuries in athletes or in those patients who have had multiple ankle sprains and suffer from chronic

Long-term ankle instability can often be avoided with an aggressive physical therapy program. Bracing should only be used in the short-term during rehabilitation because long-term bracing actually causes atrophy and decreased ROM. Physical therapy is needed for all ankle sprains. The goals of physical therapy should be to regain full range of motion. ROM, strength and proprioception (where your brain thinks your ankle is in space). Regaining strength in the peroneal tendons as well as overall balance training are the keys to successful rehabilitation of an ankle sprain. A maintenance program of ankle strengthening, stretching, and proprioception exercises helps to decrease the risk of future ankle sprains, particularly in individuals with a history of multiple ankle sprains or of chronic instability.

Bottom line: if you happen to fall down and go boom, have your ankle sprain evaluated by a podiatric foot and ankle surgeon. Delaying treatment and rehabilitation can lead to lifelong instability.

SMOOTHIES

& more

S

moothies and fresh pressed juice blends are a staple of my nutrition. I started with a basic berry blend with a few boosters like a super green powder and the maca powder more than five years ago. I quickly graduated to cracking coconuts and it elevated my smoothies to another level. With a little practice, you can learn to crack and clean coconuts too.

I originally snubbed fresh juicing when first encouraged to try it. I thought it might wreak havoc on my digestive tract, but actually the opposite occurred. I started with celery, cucumber and apple. Then I got bold and added a little kick of ginger. It is still my favorite juice combo and tastes so refreshing to me. The natural salt in celery, healing properties of the cucumber, sugar from the apple and stomach settling properties make it a perfect pre-ride or run drink.

I now combine a variety of fruits and veggies to make a host of great tasting

T

his is a great food for long rides, snacks, dessert, and rewards.

beverages. Don’t be hesitant to throw in the spinach, kale or other veggies with the fruits. They taste good even if they don’t look so appetizing. Put them in a double walled stainless steel bottle, they will stay cold and nobody has to see them.

When it comes to proteins and mix-ins my standard these days are hemp protein powder, a super green powder, maca powder (considered an immune booster and hormone balancer), flax seed and Udo’s or coconut oil. I vary what I include. Sometimes the flavors of certain boosts just don’t go well with the drink, so I pour off a small amount, about 1/2 cup of the smoothie, and blend in the mix-ins and chug it down.

Then I can savor the unadulterated fruit and veggie flavors of my favorites. When at home try your favorite protein drink in the blender as well to give you more variety.

—Sue Berliner

Chocolate Smoothie

T

his is my long standing favorite smoothie , a chocolate lovers delight. I have used it before and after workouts. The coconut water is a great natural electrolyte drink. You can substitute packaged coconut water. It will be more like a rich milk than a smoothie. Look for brands that do not contain added sugar or other ingredients.

Including a half of a frozen ripe banana will add back some creaminess and is a tasty combination. No sweeteners will be needed.

1 young coconut 3-4 tbsp cacao powder 1 tbsp raw coconut oil ½ cup ice ½ cup filtered water as needed Optional Stevia or agave nectar to sweeten 1 tsp of fresh spearmint leaves 1 tbsp maca powder* Crack open the pointed end of the coconut.

Asian markets and Whole Foods will open them for you and often sell them opened.

Pour off and set the water aside. Spoon the meat out of the shell. Be sure to remove any of the hard shell that may be attached to the soft meat. Yield of meat and liquid varies with each coconut. Yields average around 12 ounces of liquid and ½ cup to 1 cup of meat. If you are using a high powered blender, put the ingredients in the blender (and optional ingredients) adding the ice last. Hit the smoothie button or blend until ingredients are smooth. Use the ½ cup water if needed to thin.

If using a standard blender, blend the coconut with a small amount of coconut water until smooth, blend in the powder, oil and optional ingredients. Pour in the water and ice and blend. Freezing the coconut water in ice cube trays beforehand will provide an icier texture. −Sue Berliner

Skirt Chaser 5k

By Sue Berliner When it comes to winning at the Skirt Chaser, the men should give it up if Sally Meyerhoff is racing. On February 12 in the fourth edition of men chasing women, Meyerhoff went four for four. The Valley resident, winner of the 2011 Rock N’ Roll Arizona Marathon, just keeps getting faster.

The Skirt Chaser 5k gives women runners a 3 minute head start on the men to put some spice into a 5k. The out and back course took the crowd of just under 2000 on Rio Salado Parkway and finished in Tempe Beach ParK. “This year was my fastest time of any of the four years, 16:23,” said Meyerhoff. “I was really happy. That is really fast. I work for Red Rock and have been working all day so I wasn’t expecting that.”

This year Meyerhoff was not concerned with the guys when a friend and former teammate Sara Slattery took the lead.

“We were also kind of rivals,” said Meyerhoff. “We have raced each other since middle school. I was 11, she was 13. It has always been a back and forth thing. She started out really fast. I noticed her getting a little tired. I thought, okay, I can catch her, but it was pretty warm. I tried to keep her in my view. Gradually I caught her with 200-300 yards to go. I finished really strong. I was happy.”

Actual Time 16:23 16:39 15:38 15:45 16:13 19:26 16:03 17:04 17:12 20:25

And so were all the participants when they crossed the finish line.

Chipotle burritos, beer, a band and more kept the crowd entertained long after the race was over. The post race party is considered by many to be the best in town. Whether you are single or attached, you will want to put this one on your to do list for next year.

trail run RESULTS

By Dayton Moringa A weekend escape from the cold weather in Salt Lake City led to a victorious run in Fountain Hills, for Jake Krong and Andrea North. Krong and North – who are a couple – took top honors at the Xterra McDowell Mountain Trail Run on Sunday, Feb. 6, at Fountain Hills.

Krong, 27, was the overall winner, completing the 15-mile course in 1 hour, 28 minutes, 19 seconds. North, 24, was the first female, finishing with a time of 1:43:44.

“The weather and course were awesome,” Krong said. “We’d been running in wind chills that were barely breaking zero degrees for the previous week in Salt Lake City, so the low 40s temps at the start felt perfect.”

Krong and North live and work in Salt Lake City, but they were in Phoenix to visit his parents for the weekend. They discovered the nearby Xterra race while looking for things to do online. They are both planning to run in marathons later this year, so the challenging trails at McDowell Mountain Regional Park served as a form of training.

Krong, a former member of the track and cross country teams at Colgate University, took the lead midway through the course and ran by himself for the final seven miles.

“I positioned myself in second place right off the start, and stayed there for the first half of the race,” he said. “Three different guys took the lead at various points; I just maintained my position in second and tried to run relaxed. I knew I was feeling strong, so as soon as we hit the 8-mile mark, I burst to the lead and really increased the pace.”

Eric Bohn of Flagstaff, placed second in 1:30:09, and Andrew Drobeck of Missoula, Mont., was third in 1:31:08.

North had a similar strategy in the women’s division. She stayed in the lead pack for the first half of the race, then broke ahead by herself for the second half.

During one section late in the course, North said she could see Krong in the overall lead, and it encouraged her to stay strong down the stretch.

“I was very excited to see that I was able to run about 20 seconds faster per mile than I anticipated,” North said. “It was great to see Jake at the front of the pack when we crossed paths at the out-and-back portion of the race.”

Trisha Miller of Missoula, Mont., placed second in 1:45:02, and Dawn Stone of Flagstaff, Ariz., was third in 1:49:35.

Camelback 12 Hour Endurance Event

By Sue Berliner For most fit minded individuals, one ascent on Camelback Mountain is enough of a workout unless you are comparing it to a marathon. Imagine what a challenge combing those two experiences would be. Who would do such a crazy thing?

Jim Fowler. Fowler, known as Grandpa Jim conceived the event as a fundraiser for Sunshine Acres Children’s Home. In 2010 he wanted to celebrate his 51st birthday and take a group of kids from Sunshine Acres to the Grand Canyon. Last February he combined his passion for the land mark rock formation and Sunshine Acres to create the inaugural Camelback Marathon.

To complete a marathon on the mountain means 11 round trips up and down for a total of 26.4 miles and one can’t forget the 14,300 elevation gained and also lost. Ouch.

On February 11, 73 individuals hiked at least one time up and down Echo Canyon in the Camelback 12 Hour Endurance Event. The objective was to do as many climbs as possible in 12 hours. The youngest was Fowler’s 5 year-old grandson Ethan Olsen and the oldest was 75–year old Sammy Wegeman.

Three men and two women completed 12 laps hiking 28.8 miles and climbing 15,600 feet. The breakout for the rest of the field: 2 completed 11 laps, 3 completed 10 laps, 3 completed 9 laps, 3 completed 8 laps, 4 completed 7 laps, 2 completed 6 laps, 4 completed 5 laps including Wegeman, 7 completed 4 laps, 8 completed 3 laps, 9 completed 2 laps and 24 did one lap.

The 73 participants wracked up 317 ascents and descents for the 12 hours.

Leading the 2011 challenge was one of the nine people to complete the marathon in 2010. David Metzler, 41, considered the fastest man down the mountain (10 minutes) maintained a steady pace for the 12 laps.

Metzler, the owner of Desert Performance Gear and Chip in to Cure takes

PF Chang’s Rock N Roll Arizona Marathon & Half Marathon For many runners, goals were met and for others a mere seven seconds cost them a world record at PF Chang’s Rock R’ Roll Arizona Marathon and Half Marathon More than 30,000 participants basked in perfect weather when they took to the streets of Phoenix, Scottsdale and Tempe on January 16th.

Sally Meyerhoff of Tempe earned her first marathon victory in the women’s event in 2:37:56. The 2009 USA 25K champion topped a leader board in which five women qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston including Scottsdale resident Ariana Hillborn. illborn reduced her 2008 time from 4:36 to 2:45:37, earning her 5th place overall.

“I feel so awesome,” said Meyerhoff, who finished fifth at the event in 2009. “I’ve wanted to win this race for the past three years. It was my first marathon in 2008 and to come back in my third try to win is unbelievable.”

Josh Cox, 35, won his second consecutive Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon in 2:17:32 and then continued on to the Arizona State University track where he crushed his U.S. record for 50 kilometers by more than 3½ minutes, but just missed the world mark by 7 seconds. He completed the 50K (31.06 miles) in 2: 43:45.

“Seven seconds is hard to swallow,” said Cox, referring to South African Thompson Magawana’s world best of 2:43:38 set in 1988. “But I’m happy.

The American record is nothing to hang your head about. I did everything I could to click off those final miles. I’ll be back. I would like to run the world record here in two years. I’d like to give it another shot.”

After more than a year away from the sport Kara Goucher, 32, returned to road racing. In the days before the race, the 2008 Olympian spent two mostly sleepless nights in a Portland hospital with her 16-week-old son, Colt, who needed fluid drained from an abscess on his jaw caused by an infection.

“I don’t like to lose and I don’t like to not run fast, I’m definitely ready

a least one daily dose of Camelback, trail runs and regularly does gym and core training.

“The hardest part of the day was [lap] numbers 6, 7, and 8,” said Metzler. Your body reaches an exhaustion point and for me it was after number 5. I struggled through 6, 7, and 8 (with Jim Fowler)…and then whoosh, there was my second wind…9, 10, and 11 I was flying again.

Metzler’s sentiments about the event mirrored all the participants.

“This is such a cool event,” said Metzler. “The mountain is full of positive souls, inspiration, and huge smiles the entire day. It is awesome to raise funds for such a great cause and I couldn’t think of a better way to do it than to run my mountain and test my endurance against other incredible athletes.”

to get home and work out. It’s motivating for sure,” said Goucher, who is preparing for the Boston Marathon. “I had a great experience, but it stings a little. I accomplished what I needed to today, but I’m leaving here hungrier than when I arrived.”

Madai Perez of Mexico won in 1:11:49, 2:13 ahead of Goucher. The top-ranked U.S. women’s marathoner in 2009, Goucher was previously unbeaten over the half-marathon distance. Perez, who finished 11th and 15th at recent World Championship Marathons and placed 19th at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Marathon, led from the start clocking a 5:12 opening mile. The 41 year-old 2006 Ironman champion Michellie Jones finished 9th place overall in 1:22:41 earning her the top masters spot in the women’s half marathon.

Shawn Forrest of Australia won the men’s half-marathon in 1:03:07, 15 seconds ahead of Cox’s Mammoth Track Club training partner, Alistair Cragg of Ireland.
