Stay Safe During Nighttime Workouts Thank you to all who came out to participate in the Karlyn Pipes swim clinic. This was the third event in the Tri/Run Committee’s series of informational and inspirational events this year. The committee will be planning more events for the upcoming year and is seeking members’ wants, needs and knowledge gaps when it comes to the multisport lifestyle. Email Kelly@digitalschmidt.com and let us know what you would like to see in 2017.
Staying fit through the fall As autumn settles in, days grow shorter, giving us less time to run and bike during daylight hours. To maintain fitness, many jump on the treadmill or bike trainer and log miles indoors. While this certainly gets the job done, I often find myself gazing out the window craving the cool, fresh fall air in my hair and against my face. To squeeze in a few miles, this may mean getting out in the early morning dark or evening dusk, when runners and cyclists are less visible. Here are five tips to keep you safely rolling or running all through the winter.
Take a few steps to redeuce the risk of running at night. • Don’t go out alone. Safety in numbers holds true on the road, so grab a friend or even your canine buddy and head out together. • Lose the earbuds. While your favorite tunes may be motivating, they make it harder to be aware of your surroundings, so save them for your indoor workouts when you really need the inspiration.

• Run against traffic. This allows a better and early view of the traffic nearest you so you can adjust for imperfect drivers. • Be seen. Be flashy. LED lights and reflective gear that allow you to be seen from the front, back and sides are ideal. Headlamps also work, with the added benefit of lighting up your route. • Pack your bag. Carry your ID and cell phone in case you need assistance or end up making the call for someone else in need. A running backpack or waist belt can keep your hands free. Now, get out and enjoy the benefits of running, safely, all throughout the season! Last but not least, congratulations to Carrie Zografos, who WON the women’s Kauai Half-marathon in September, coming in in third overall at 1:29:21. Way to go Carrie!
