TRAINING CAMP BLOOD WORKS! Kirk Layfield, N.D. M.S. EMT-P info provided by Rick Crawford, Colorado PremierTraining

We live in an age of amazing technology. So amazing it is, in fact, that it takes much of the guesswork and mystery out of our daily lives. Things that we may have never known about ourselves, like the regular status of our blood, can and should become a regular diagnostic routine. For athletes in general? And endurance athletes in particular? The status of the blood is of paramount importance. Blood is our delivery system for oxygen, fuel substrates, and a myriad of substances, carefully controlled by the synergistic conglomerate that constitutes our body. Blood carries the actual freight, while our central nervous system communicates as by wire. Blood that is healthy will deliver more oxygen to an athlete’s muscles. Blood is where great immunological battles are fought for us every day, with many of its components dedicated to fighting off unwanted invaders that challenge our health. Blood is essential to life, and essential to good performance. Endurance athletes purposefully train to increase their bodies’ strength. Good performance is a dividend of the optimization of many factors, blood being a very important factor. Blood status is often taken for granted, as it is an invisible entity that doesn’t get sore as it is worked harder and harder. It does however, get depleted and tired, quietly resulting in general degeneration of form and vigor of the athlete. It doesn’t have to be this way. These days there are relatively inexpensive diagnostic tools that, if done on a regular basis, can bring the invisible microscopic elements of the blood into clear view. These diagnostics, done as regular routine, provide a baseline of health that can be quantified and managed to consistent and great results in the athletic arena. At a minimum, an endurance athlete should have a blood test done on a quarterly basis. Quarterly blood work will show baselines and common variations due to training, periodic stress and immune challenges. Quarterly blood work may be supplemented by tests done to diagnose illness or to more closely monitor health and form. Frequent blood work can serve as a preventative measure for many common maladies of endurance athletes, such as overtraining, fatigue, anemia and illness. For those of you who don’t have the benefit of a team doctor, you have to rely on a health professional to prescribe and analyze the blood work. It is important to foster a good relationship with a doctor who understands that these diagnostics are vital to the health and prosperity of a serious endurance athlete. Many doctors are reluctant to order blood work for an apparently healthy patient, but for an endurance athlete, regular blood tests are important proactive measures to ensure optimal health and performance. Furthermore, a medical professional, normally focused on treating the unhealthy, may not know how to interpret results from a performance perspective. A good doctor to help manage health and vigor should be a key component of an endurance athlete’s infrastructure. The reason managing blood is so important is that ambitious athletes are always pushing hard to get gains, and in this process, often push until a key system catastrophically fails. In many cases, it is the blood or an element thereof that is pushed beyond its limits. Iron is a good example. It is often depleted and becomes a limiter for health and performance. Iron is the component that binds oxygen in hemoglobin, and as such, when there is not enough of it; red blood cell production is limited, which in turn limits oxygen carrying capacity. Red blood cells are constantly being destroyed and created, and in the case of hard12

FLMX MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2012

charging endurance athletes, the tendency to self-destruct is common. Iron is constantly excreted, albeit slowly. Iron is also very slowly absorbed from the diet, so even heavily supplementing iron is no guarantee to better absorption. Iron must be absorbed into the bloodstream and incorporated so as to be of use eventually as a heme molecule. Serum iron levels are not necessarily indicative to good iron status, as it is iron that has been absorbed, but not yet incorporated into a bioactive form. Ferritin, on the other hand, is the form of iron ready to go to work in the formation of heme molecules, and on to the task of carrying oxygen. Iron in the blood, but not yet incorporated into a useful form, can actually prove to be toxic to the body. It is very important that iron be regulated and monitored by endurance athletes to ensure good health and good performance. Managing iron through blood work and proper nutrition should be an important priority for serious endurance athletes. When an athlete gets a blood draw, the usual protocol should be for the doctor to order a CBC (complete blood chemistry), and ferritin test. This is the basic testing protocol for a quarterly test. There are many more things to measure in blood, but unless the doctor thinks it necessary to probe further, CBC and ferritin test will provide adequate information for determining baselines. The CBC will show a number of key values and their reference ranges, which indicate the normal range of these values. Hct (hematocrit) and Hgb (hemoglobin) are two critical factors of the CBC test which generally indicate the oxygen carrying capacity and concentration of the blood. These two values should be very familiar to any endurance athlete and baselines should be set and managed very carefully through monitoring, nutrition, and periodized training. WBC (white blood cells), if elevated, may indicate a bacterial infection. Elevated lymphocyte levels indicate viral activity. Ferritin indicates ready iron stores. High eosinophils levels indicate some form of allergic reaction. There are many more values and relationships that an athlete, along with the qualified diagnosis of a good doctor, can evaluate and manage. Tests that measure cortisol and free testosterone are an effective method of tracking the effects of stress. Cortisol accumulates when an athlete is under stress without adequate recovery. Testosterone generally declines when athletes are overtrained, and will be marked by a lack of vigor, motivation, and performance. These tests are not part of a CBC and will cost a bit extra, and might be reserved for times when symptoms of overtraining need to be confirmed. There will always be an ongoing relationship between ferritin and hematocrit/hemoglobin, whereas red blood cells die, releasing their iron stores as ferritin into the bloodstream, so that decreased hematocrit may actually yield higher ferritin counts. Ferritin levels will trend downwards throughout the season as iron excretion outruns absorption. Manipulating hematocrit and ferritin would then be a matter of recovery, nutrition, and good planning. The point is that these values should be managed by the athlete and shouldn’t be randomized or taken for granted. Blood should not be taken for granted. It should be monitored, analyzed and understood. It is such an important aspect of health and fitness and should not be neglected. A proactive stance on blood status is critical for the achievement of endurance athlete potential. The great news is that I and my company Innovationtrainingsystems.com are able to offer blood testing services to our athletes along with a complete training and nutrition program to go along with it. Please feel free to contact me for more details. That’s it for this month, hope to everyone at the Gold cup rounds and please visit www.innovationtrainingsystems.com for all your fitness, nutrition and wellness blood testing needs.

FLMX: JT, your professional racing career in America is over. How does it feel? JT$: It feels good honestly. It’s bittersweet because I know I will miss it, but I truly feel it is the right time. I’m going out with no regrets. FLMX: What was it like on your final race day at Lake Elsinore? JT$: It was humbling to say the least. All day I was approached by riders, industry members and just average fans all thanking me for 16 great years. I tried to soak it all in and enjoy the last national of my career. That last Moto I really just cruised around and let my thoughts reflect on all the days I spent on the road and training to be able to do this for so long. It was a surreal day and I’ll never forget all of the people that made it special. FLMX: You had a incredibly long career. Can you list us the team and classes you rode through out the years? JT$: 16 years is definitely a lot! 97-98 I was on an RPI Racing/Streit’s effort my friends and family put together. 99 I got a ride with Excel Yamaha and rode the 125 East series with Josh Demuth 2000 I rode a privateer Yamaha 250 and also a 125. I then switched to Honda Canada for the summer. 2001 I signed with Factory Husqvarna alongside Steve Lamson 2002 I was back on Yamaha’s for most of the year and then rode for Tuf Team Green in the Arenacross series 2003-2006 I rode for Subway/Coca Cola Honda 2007-present was with BTO/BBMX Suzuki FLMX: You are up there in the record books on

some things also, like the most starts, most double class main events, most serious race face.... What are some records you have? JT$: I think I am in the top ten now for most SX main events. That’s a big one for me. I have the record for most double class main events total and also the record for most in a row at 10. I’m near the top of the most wins in the German SX Championship as well. FLMX: What are some races and results that stick out for you? JT$: My brightest moments were winning the Montreal SX in 2005 and 2009 and then winning the German Championship in 2009 as well. I had a lot of top tens and even a top 5 here in America but there is nothing like winning. FLMX: What was your favorite team you rode for and best bike? JT$: My favorite team is easily my current team, BTOsports.com. I have been close friends with the owners for over half of my life now and it just feels like home to me. My favorite bike ever was my 2005 CRF450. Honda had a great production bike that year and with my setup I felt like I had one of the best bikes on the gate. FLMX: You finished off the final years of your career with the BBMX team. How was it being with them and watching them grow like they did? JT$: I think it would have been just wrong to end it anywhere else. Even before I rode for the team, I was living with the guys and was a part of their growth. I’m proud to see where it started and know where it is now and be a part of the success they are heading towards. Forrest, Karsten and Vince deserve a lot of respect for taking a team with no

budget and no results to now having factory equipment and leading races. FLMX: Will you still be riding or racing any? JT$: I am racing my normal busy schedule this off season. After January, I haven’t really decided what my riding/racing state will be. I might just take a break for a bit and see how long I can fight the urge. I’m normally pretty burnt out after 3 months of flying overseas and racing nonstop. FLMX: Will you go back to Loretta’s in a couple years? JT$: I’ve thought about it, it really just depends on my desire and what my schedule is like. I definitely want to go back, I just haven’t decided how long it will take me. Maybe when RC and Reynard quit! FLMX: You have started to get into the journalism side with PulpMX and RacerX. Will your roles increase now? JT$: I’m working on all of that now. I have some stuff in place and some other ideas I’m hoping to lock down. Regardless, I will be at least maintaining my current roles with PulpMX. FLMX: What else are you going to be doing in the moto industry? JT$: I just accepted a Moto industry position that I’m really excited about. Unfortunately, my employers want me to keep it quiet for a little while yet, but I am excited to say I will be around racing on a full time basis. FLMX: Would you change anything if you could go back to the start of your pro career? JT$: The start of it? No, I have no regrets. I do wish I could change some decisions I made along the way though. Signing with Husky when I had other offers and tons of momentum going was a huge mistake. I felt like I was on a good path and that year totally derailed me. FLMX: How many Delta sky miles have you flown? JT$: This offseason I will become a million miler. That means I have flown around the world 40 times! FLMX: Will you become Chad Reeds “Man Friend” at the races? JT$: I think that’s a filled position but I definitely will be in his corner at the races I attend. He has so many people to entertain and a race to concentrate on, so the races are tough to really do much hanging out.

OCTOBER 2012 FLMX MAGAZINE

FLMX: How’s Fantasy Football going for you this year? JT$: This is not a funny question currently. My team is a disgrace. FLMX: Besides football and poker, what else will you be doing now that you’re not doing while racing? JT$: Working! I am still riding and training but I will have a full time job as well so I will be busy! FLMX: What else do you have planned for this next stage in life? JT$: Just transitioning into a real job and trying to be successful at something new. Racing is all I’ve ever known so it’s cool to have a new challenge. FLMX: Great job and congrats on a sensational career. Who would you like to thank? JT$: First off I have to thank my parents. They have always sacrificed whatever it took to provide for me. Wayne Handley for getting me started my first 2 years, I don’t think I would have been able to do it without him. I need to thank Forrest and Karsten for the last 6 years of my career, they always went to bat for me when I needed it. I want to thank Tim Ferry and Chad Reed for giving me unbelievable tracks to ride and endless amounts of advice. Dan Truman for being a great mechanic and friend. Whether he was telling me I needed to do better or fighting someone that was messing with me, I always knew I could count on him. I want to thank Michael Byrne for the last 2 years of being a great teammate and teaching me a lot about overcoming adversity. Lastly I want to thank God for keeping me safe all these years.

DIPERNA GRABS 1st win!

PICS BY: ROB KOY

FLMX MAGAZINE OCTOBER 2012

SIX12 RACETECH RACE REPORT The 8th of 10 Rounds of the Vortex Lites Championship Series headed into Dade City on a hot Saturday night on September 15th. For the past 2 years one rider has had more 2nd place finishes that any of rider, but has not been able to capture that 1st win. This was his night as Austin Diperna put it all together on his Honda to grab that win he’s been looking for. On the start is was KMS Kawasakis Nicholas Guessford with the line going into the start but Diperna snuck to the inside around the corner to hold the holeshot. Guessford was 2nd while Barneys/SIX12 rider Robbey Ruffner was 3rd on his Kawaski. Diperna started to stretch out a lead like he has done many times before as his arch nemeses RJ Hampshire was in the 5th spot, but coming quick. Hampshire leads the points series and is known for his never give up attitude as he charges until the checkers. Hampshire would get into 3rd quickly and then get around Guessford. Hampshire then set his sights after Diperna who had a good lead. On lap 6 of 8 Hampshire was on his rear wheel, but after the finish line jump, Hampshire would get caught up with a lapper and allow Diperna another small gap. Hampshire would reel him in once again with a lap to go, but would make a couple small mistakes as another lapper would take the main line. Diperna would hold onto the lead, leading wire to wire for his first ever Vortex Main Event victory! Hampshire would finish 2nd and still hold a strong lead. Nicholas Guessford put his Kawasaki up on the podium in 3rd. The spectators got a big treat as Chad Reed and Timmy Ferry decided to come out and do some racing in the Plus 25 class. 1) Austin Diperna Reed and 2) RJ Hampshire Ferry, good 3) Nicholas Guessford buddies, decided it was time to have some fun. This was actually Chads first race since his big crash back in SX where he broke his leg, tore his knee up and his back. Team Two Two’s Honda Chad Reed put on a show with him FOX/ Kawasaki buddy Ferry both motos. Timmy would keep him honest both moto’s, but it was Reed winning both motos on his Honda.

THUNDERCROSS RACE REPORT FLORIDA MOTOCROSS SERIES THUNDERCROSS - ROUND 12 â&#x20AC;˘ 09/09/12

BOURQUE BLASTS THUNDERCROSS The Florida Motocross Series is in its final rounds of their series as the 12th round traveled down to Thundercross. Located in Okeechobee, the long sandy track gets rough and brutal, especially in the hot Florida Summer heat. A great turnout was on hand for the race as hundreds of riders took battle. Dennis Bourque, from Palm Bay, put on a very impressive display of riding on his Hondas this day. Dennis usually sticks with the Plus classes as he is over 35 years old, but today decided to give the young boys a run. He first lined up in the 125 2 Stroke class where he won both motos over Cody Redfern from Cocoa, who went 2-2 and Jeremiah Cole from Fort Pierce. He then took his second overall on the day in the Plus 35 class beating out Dan Zullo and Alvin Moore. Finally he went up against the big boys in the 450 A class where he held his own finishing up 2nd behind Wilfredo Guzman, Kyle Jacob was 3rd. Tyler More and Evan Ferry cleaned up in the 50cc classes. More won 2 overalls, winning both the 50 4-6 and the 50 Oil class. Ferry was the fastest 50cc rider on the day taking his FOX/KTM ride to the #1 spot in both the 50 7-9 and the 50cc Open class. Austin Pare was the dominant C Rider on the day winning both the 250 C and 450 C classes over riders Matt Karwat, Chris Oland John Sardina. Sam Allen Jr was also a 2 time winner in the Plus 50 and Plus 45 classes. Christian Dresser was your fastest 65 rider, as he won the 65 10-11 and the 65 Open class. The Fasnacht brothers cleaned up with Chase winning Supermini and Cameron taking the Youth 16-24 class win.

250 OVERALL

The final round of the 2012 Red Bull National Series headed to Southern California to Lake Elsinore. This was the first time the track hosted a National and went through some major reconstruction to make the bigger and accommodate the spectators. It was a hot Saturday for the final round as thousands of spectators came out to watch some of the worlds best do battle. Blake Baggett was trying to secure his first championship as a on fire Eli Tomac put in a late season charge to get close in the championship race. Baggett would get out to a mediocre start with Barcia out front early. Eli Tomac suffered a horrible start and would have to come from way back, not the start he was looking for. Technically Barcia was still in the hunt for the championship as he put in a solid ride. But it was Baggett who didn’t want to have to worry about the points and where he would have to finish to win the championship. He just wanted to win! He went to front, getting past Barcia, even after Barcia pinned it past him for a turn. Baggett kept it strong all the way to the end as Tomac got around his teammate for 2nd but was unable to catch Baggett who got the win and held a nice points lead into the final moto.

1) Blake Baggett 1-2 2) Justin Barcia 3-1 3) Marvin Musquin 4-3 4) Wil Hahn 5-4 5) Malcolm Stewart 7-6 6) Ken Roczen 6-7 7) Eli Tomac 2-14 8) Blake Wharton 8-8 9) Jeremy Martin 10-10 10) Jessy Nelson 9-13

Moto 2 saw Barcia once again getting out front early and riding strong. This time Barcia kept it rolling out front as his teammate Tomac had some major problems trying to push it to the front. He went down hard and would suffer his worst moto finish of the year finishing in 14th. Baggett would get into second and cruise to the end, knowing he had the championship wrapped up, as he won his first of his career. Barcia would actually move into the 2nd spot overall in the series with Tomacs mistake. In the 450 class Dungey would make it pretty boring, as it was about the same as every other race this year. Alessi would pull the holeshot and stretch out a lead early, but Dungeys pace and fitness would prove to be unstoppable as he would catch Alessi and take the win both motos. Tickle put in a solid ride in 3rd over Rattray. OCTOBER 2012 FLMX MAGAZINE
