Lori & KC - You are an Ironman!

On December 1, 2013, KC Carlberg, Lori McCarney, and nearly forty other Hawaii athletes competed at Ironman Cozumel, Mexico. For KC, the well-known owner of TryFitness and an established personal trainer and Race Director, this would be her first Ironman. For Lori, it was her eighth.

Lori: What made you decide at this time in your career to do an Ironman? KC: Good question. I’ve been doing triathlon for 25 years and just love the sport and what it has given to me in my life. When I turned 50 this year, I really wanted to do something significant. I’ve always wanted to do an Ironman, particularly Kona Ironman, but never found the time with coaching, training, and running Try Fitness. This year I decided that I was ready to make that commitment and give to myself. Since I had been to Cozumel with you three years ago, I knew the course and felt that the conditions were so similar to Hawaii that this was the race for me.

line and I told myself “KC, today you will be an Ironman but right now you have to work for it.” This helped me stay focused so I could race smart. I was KC: How did you feel about going back to Cozumel? finally in the mix with everyone else and it felt good. I Lori: I really had great memories of that 2010 race. never doubted I would be an Ironman some day, and Remember how much fun we had? The friendly peo- that day was glorious. I ran down that finish chute ple, the beautiful swim course where I got my PR of feeling like I had trained for this all my life and that 1:34, and my 2nd place AG finish. I like that the race moment was mine. Just phenomenal. was after Thanksgiving so I would be on a fitness track Lori: That is so cool. I knew you were a little worried leading up to the holidays. about doing the race, but you did great. What was Lori: Was becoming an Ironman what you expected? bugging you? KC: It sounds cliché, but it truly is about What went on in your head as you prepared and the journey. After all these years, I felt that raced? KC: It far exceeded my expectations. Having people may have had expectations of me because I do trained athletes such as yourself for the Ironman what I do in the triathlon community. What I discovevent, I knew what I needed to do for my training and ered was that I had to be vulnerable, and just be me I was prepared for the race itself, but I no idea of how and that all those expectations were in my head. When I would feel. I trusted that I did the work and when it I let that go, I was able to really embrace my humancame to race day, I was blown away at how good I felt. ness and enjoy the experience. It allowed me to really It was amazing. I felt strong and confident. I’m not enjoy Ironman and a return to Ironman Cozumel after saying it was easy, because I had some moments being a part of the Hawaii crew that went to Mexico where I had to dig deep to focus through the discom- and it helped to know that we were all in it together. fort of it all, but overall it was doable. As I was train- Each of us had our own goals but in the end we suping, I really focused on being in the moment. The ported each other. I’m so proud to be a part of our Ironman is such a long event; I knew that if I got ahead Hawaii community of triathletes and athletes and I of myself I would get frustrated. There was a moment thank you for helping to create the Team Hola y Aloha on the bike at mile 30 when I thought about the finish that went to Cozumel. I’m grateful for everyone who

competed and all those who took the time out of their lives to come to Mexico to support everyone. KC: It was a really large group from Hawaii that made the trip to Cozumel. Why did you try to convince people to go? Lori: Triathlon and Ironman have helped me be a better person. I am more confident, more positive about life, and simply physically and mentally healthier than I have ever been. I wanted other folks to share these great benefits and I thought that Ironman Cozumel was a great event for everyone, including first timers. If I could recruit just a few athletes from different training groups to get things started, I expected they would talk their training buddies into it and we could get a large group. And once that ball started rolling, we did! What does that tell you about the relationships you make through triathlon? KC: You and Ironman seem to have a strong relationship. You just keep doing them. Lori: It’s funny. You would think that some of the bad experiences I’ve had at Ironman events would cause me to stop competing. The DNF at my first Ironman in Kona in 2009 was emotionally devastating. Another DNF came when I experienced debilitating cramping on the hot and hilly Ironman France bike leg in 2011. The medical team pulled me off the course (at least I thought they had) and I sat by the road for close to two hours. When no one came to bring me and my bike down from the mountains, I decided to ride down to T2 to make the bike cut off . All the way down, I said I would quit after the bike. And I did. I can’t believe I quit. That was a lesson in the power of my mind to make or break a race. I learn something new about racing and about myself with each Ironman experience. I like that, and I think that’s why I always look forward to the next one. Lori: So, are you “one and done” or is there another Ironman in your future? KC: I would love to get into the Kona Ironman one day, but for the moment I’m truly grateful for my Cozumel experience. It has made me a much better athlete and even better coach.

Ask the Trainer

10-15% for women – than the average age grouper. You can improve your 10K time by eating fewer high Aloha everyone. I’m back again with another edition of fat snacks. Losing 1 to 2 pounds of body weight can ask the trainer. Since we last spoke, I completed the shave off 2-3 seconds per mile. That doesn’t seem like Cozumel Ironman Triathlon. I’m totally stoked. I a lot, but over the distance it adds up. Furthermore, thought about my run with the first question I received the lighter you are, the less pounding your body takes with each foot fall. from one of my readers: by KC Carlberg

How can I run faster in a triathlon? Indeed, the burning question of most triathletes. Some would argue that the triathlon race comes down to the run, if you are a great runner you can take the win. Just look at Mirinda Carfrae at this year’s Ironman World Championships. We aren’t all pros, but we do want to do our best when we race. There are 3 things you can do now to improve your running. One – aerobic capacity. If you want to run fast you have to run fast. Yes, adding speed week into your weekly workouts is critical. It reminds your body to run fast. Your speed work along with those base training miles in the off season build your capacity. Two – running economy. Working on form and technique will help immensely with your running efficiency, thus improving economy. Additionally, adding plyometric moves and strength training further helps to strengthen weaknesses and deficiencies in your physical person thereby helping with your speed. Third – Power to Weight Ratio. Remember in the last issue we discussed how to become a better climber in cycling you have to lose weight? Same applies here. The lighter and stronger you are the faster you will go. Pro triathletes generally keep a much lower body fat – 5-10% for men and

What is better – Greek yogurt or regular yogurt? That is an excellent question. Factoid – Canadians eat 33% more yogurt than Americans. Now the question ity ball to improve functional strength, balance and – both types of yogurt come from milk and have flexibility of the body. Many people use a fitness ball healthy bacteria, but it is the processing the makes as a chair either for casual TV watching or working. them different. Greek yogurt is strained 3 times versus The ball can even be used as a bench with free weights twice for regular yogurt. This means that Greek yogurt to help further improve muscle stabilization.

Jonathan Lyau - Still Going Strong Congratulations on having participated in every single Great Aloha Run. What made you start running?

I started running in September 1979 in the 10th grade when I joined the McKinley High School Cross Country Team. It sounded interesting and I thought I had good endurance because I would outlast my basketball teammates when we ran for conditioning, but I actually got interested in running earlier in 1979 during the Spring. My Aunt (Dora Kop) was someone who always talked positively and strongly, and she told us that we should go with her to the Honolulu Marathon Clinic. So we (me, my brother, and cousin) went with her to Sunday’s Honolulu Marathon Clinic to listen to Dr. Jack Scaff talk about different topics on running and about something called the Marathon. We would then try to do one of the training runs after. I remember making it around Diamond Head and thinking it was an accomplishment. We only went to this a couple of times a month, but I learned a lot from listening to Dr. Scaff. I entered my first road race, the Diet Pepsi 10k in June 1979 and ran it in 51min. After I joined cross country I realized that I could do pretty well, but had to keep training to get better in running. I never played basketball again. After XC season I decided to run the Marathon in December, did it in a time of 3:23, and had fun doing it. My Aunt Dora passed away this past November and it brought back a lot of memories on how I got started in running. I ended up getting a bib number to pace some runners through 11 miles in the marathon and thought a lot about her, especially as I ran around Diamond Head. What are some of your best memories from running? And from the Great Aloha Run?

There are so many memories from my running career, but here are a few (in no particular order): • Winning the State High School 3200m track title (1982).

• Running my first marathon (1979).

• Winning my first of 17 Honolulu Marathon Kama’aina Titles (1993) after years of trying. • Winning two Great Aloha Runs 8 years apart (1994, 2002).

• Representing Hawaii in a $1 million winner take all race in Lake Tahoe (my first experience running at altitude).

• Being on the Hawaii team for an Ekiden run in NYC and seeing so many world class runners. • Breaking the 2:30 barrier in the Marathon.

• Getting inducted into the Honolulu Marathon Hall of Fame. • Traveling to different places outside of Hawaii to race.

Fun memories would be all the camaraderie that I had training, racing, and running relays with the Mushroom Track Club. The best memories have to be all the people from all ages and walks of life that I’ve met (one of them being my wife Kelli) by being a part of Hawaii’s running community for all these decades. Memories from GAR include my first win as I led down into the tunnel and into Aloha Stadium to finish 1st. It was a surreal experience as it really felt like I was “pulling” everyone else in the race through there. I’m still creating memories so I’m sure this list will grow. What were your best GAR results? 5 top 5 finishes, 15 top 15 finishes, 26 top 20 finishes, 23 top 30 finishes. (Year by year results above.) What is the secret? You have stayed with running for a long time, and on a highly competitive level. Setting goals and trying to reach them keeps me motivated. The key is consistency in training without taking too many long breaks from training. I continue to do quality hard run workouts to maintain race fitness and enter races of various distances. I’ve only had to take one really long break from training. It was for almost 8 months after getting injured and ultimately having surgery. Other than that, I’ve basically run continuously since 1979. When you trained the most, how much did you run? 80-100 miles per week. Where are you now, with regards to training and racing? Now I put in 40-60 miles per week and run 5-6 days per week. I still get in some hard quality sessions and run an occasional race

Pierce Murphy: Local Runner and NCAA Champion HSM: Congrats on your National Championship, tell us first a little bit about the race. and second a little bit about how you got to where you are now. PM: Thank you! The race went well. It had been raining for a few days before the race so the course was really muddy, and the temperature was in the 30s. There was a lot of wind as well, which made it feel colder. I did not mind the conditions because I knew everyone in the race would be affected by it as well. I got to where I am now from playing soccer a lot— that’s where I noticed that I had good endurance and would not get tired as fast as other people. I started doing small races as a kid and was good at them, and when high school came around I ran cross country and track. I did not think anything of it until junior year, when I started focusing a lot on running. I kept improving from there and now I am running on the best college cross country team in the nation.

HSM: What are your plans for the near future, and what happens after college? PM: In the near future I am getting ready for indoor and outdoor track. I run the 5K and 10K in outdoor track and I hope to PR in both those events. After college, if I am fast enough, I would like to run professionally. If not, I hope to get some kind of job in the film business because that is what I am majoring in. HSM: Tell us a little bit about your training, and your racing in college. PM: Training in college is much harder than high school. It’s good, though. It needs to be that way because everyone who runs in college is fast! In high school I didn’t have much competition. There were one or two guys who were fast, but nothing like in college. Everyone takes running seriously, and all the races are much larger than my high school races.

Wellness is... Catherine Cullison, PT, DPT, at JACO Rehab

Intellectual, Spiritual and Emotional. Occupational wellness enables a sense of intrinsic motivation, satisfaction and enrichment through one’s work. Physical wellness involves a personal responsibility for one’s health, with the need for regular physical activity and healthy eating habits. Social wellness promotes positive communication within our community and environment. Intellectual wellness is centered on challenging our minds to utilize our unique skills and talents in a productive way. Spiritual wellness involves the human search for meaning and purpose in our existence. It wasn't until I began practicing physical therapy that I realized how important "Wellness" really is. It is one of the key elements needed to implement Lastly, emotional wellness recognizes the need to understand and accept a successful treatment plan. Through listening to my patients, I realized our feelings. many people with musculoskeletal injuries have other stressors in their life. In my brief course review, I began to understand how truly interdependent These were related and/or unrelated to their injury, but it certainly played a each of these aspects are. Obviously as a physical therapist, I deal directrole in their healing. So I asked myself, “How can I guide my patients ly with the physical dimension of wellness. However, by improving sometowards physical healing, but also encourage them to take control of their one’s physical well-being, we are indirectly influencing each of the other lives outside of therapy?” dimensions. The physical benefits of looking and feeling healthy greatly improve self- esteem, self-control and determination, and it doesn’t stop there. Healthier people are more likely to live longer, feel better and encourage others around them.

Perhaps one of the most overlooked courses I took in physical therapy school was "Wellness". To me, it was kind of simple: People need a healthy balance of mind and body to get better . Evidently it was such an important concept that in the midst of our cardiopulm, pharm, neuroscience, and imaging courses, “Wellness" was a topic with enough information to warrant 214+ pages of reading.

One of our goals at Jaco Rehab is to help people understand what their bodies need in order to feel healthy and prevent injuries. Outside of direct oneon-one patient care, all of our therapists make an effort to support the greater wellness movement in our community. Some of our wellness programs include: • ACL risk of injury testing for local soccer, volleyball, and other sports teams. • JACO Liberty: A functional balance training program to help increase independence with activities of daily living. • Fit 2 Work: An ergonomic assessment and conditioning program designed to maintain wellness in your workplace. • Injury prevention seminars around the island to help people reduce their overall risk of injury. • Post-race injury screenings at many tournaments and races around the island.

Searching for answers, I reviewed the “Six Dimensions of Wellness” from my old course notes. These dimensions were developed by Dr. Bill Hettler, co-founder of the National Wellness Institute (NWI) in 1976. There are six, interdependent aspects of wellness: Occupational, Physical, Social,

It is my hope that everyone is able to find a greater sense of wellness within themselves, so that they may share it with those around them. Together, we can gain a better understanding of the interconnectedness of each dimension and how they contribute to healthy living. You can learn more about the six dimensions of wellness at www.nationalwellness.org. To learn more about the wellness programs we offer at JACO Rehab, visit our website: www.jacorehab.com.

Big Island Corner - Ironman World Championships by Mercedes DeCarli On Saturday, October 12, 2013, at 7 o’clock in the morning, all the training required for the preparation to race in the Ironman World Championships in Kona was put into play. With the shot of the cannon, the athletes were off; their dreams becoming a reality the moment they walked to body marking that morning, all of them prepared for anything the day could bring and ready for the task before them. The day was one of the most perfect Ironman days anyone had ever seen weather condition wise. The water was calm and clear for the swim, on the bike the athletes had a tailwind all the way out to Hawi and not too much of a headwind coming back into town, and the clouds helped with the heat on the run resulting in amazing run splits. 18-year-old Keoni Smith, a recent graduate of West Hawaii Explorations Academy, exited the water in 59:16, completing his goal of breaking an hour in the water and being the first Kona resident to finish the swim. Dan Gampon, also 18-yearsold and a recent graduate of Kealakehe High School, followed Smith, swimming a 1:04:26. Keish Doi was the third Kona resident out of the water with a time of 1:06:12. Out on the bike course, Keish Doi took the lead from Smith and was the first Kona resident to enter the run course after completing a bike time of 4:58:29. Michael DeCarli’s strength and experience quickly allowed him to make up time lost on the swim, having swam a 1:11:13. DeCarli averaged, like Doi, well over 20 mph on the way up to Hawi and a total average of 21.43 mph for the 112 miles to finish the bike in 5 hours, 13 minutes, 35 seconds and landed himself as the second Big Island resident on the run course. Coming off the bike with a total split time of 5:19:27 was Jeni Winegarner was the first woman and third Kona The run tested many of the athletes. Already tired resident to complete the bike. and heavily taxed, their bodies battled with sideaches, blisters, and soreness from head-to-toe, but each athlete fought their own battle and came out victorious. Doi ran an incredible 3:45:59 to land him first Kona resident and 578th place overall with a finishing time of nine-hours, fifty-sixminutes, fifty-four seconds. Winegarner, who ran a 3:57:57 marathon, was the first Kona woman to finish and 966th overall. With a time of 10:33:10, Winegarner also earned herself the 132nd place for overall women. DeCarli, who battled with blisters on his feet for the last half of the marathon came across the finish line in a total time of 10:48:19. DeCarli’s run split for his first marathon was a 4:11:10. Two of the youngest competitors in the 2013 Ironman World Championship were also from Kona. Keoni Smith, who was the first Kona resident to exit the water, finished in a total time of 11:28:01. Dan Gampon, second out of the water, finished just behind Smith at 11:48:49. Good job to all of the athletes who participated in the World Championship this year. You are an inspiration to many people. Can’t wait to cheer you on in the near future.

From Sand to Snow: An Unlikely Calling HAWAII NATIVE JEREMY WAGNER FINDS TALENT ON THE MOUNTAIN By Caryn Maconi Jeremy Wagner is a devoted Hawaiian in many ways. From his greeting of “aloha” to his trusty ukulele to his love of the University of Hawaii Rainbow Wahine sports teams, Wagner seems upon first impression to belong on the islands. Somehow, however, this N?n?kuli native has found himself living in the mountains of Fraser, CO. Though he didn’t see snow for the first time until late 2010, Wagner is now training for the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in the sports of cross-country skiing and biathlon, which combines Nordic skiing and rifle shooting. A U.S. Army Reserves veteran, Wagner was injured in 2007 in a motorcycle accident while on leave from his second tour in Iraq. The injury damaged his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed below the waist, but Wagner immediately began looking for opportunities to stay active. His first passion for adaptive sport came in an outrigger canoe. While undergoing treatment at the Palo Alto Veterans Affairs Medical Center in California, Wagner found out about the VA’s National Veterans Wheelchair Games and was introduced to a sitski, also known as a monoski, for the first time. Using the sitski, which consists of a molded seat mounted on a metal frame with one ski underneath, Wagner found that he could glide and steer himself through the snow using only his upper body and a pair of short poles. Wagner competed in the slalom event at the National Veterans Wheelchair Games that year and an unlikely passion was ignited. It didn’t take long for Wagner to find his niche in the sports of cross-country skiing and biathlon. At the Wheelchair Games he was approached by Rob Rosser, a U.S. Paralympics Nordic Skiing National Team coach in charge of development and recruiting. Rosser encouraged the native Hawaiian to try training and racing at a more competitive level, so when Wagner’s cousin invited him to live with her and her husband in Denver to give full-time training a try, and he jumped at the opportunity. “I am very fortunate to have the support of my family, who initially opened it up,” Wagner said. “My cousin helped me get involved with the VA in the first place; otherwise, I don’t know where I’d be now.” With his cousin’s support, Wagner began practicing with the National Sports Center for the Disabled, a Paralympic Sport Club in Winter Park, CO, under Nordic head coach Mark Birdseye. There, he trained alongside the national team and began to understand where his talent could lead him. Before long, he was hooked. “After five months or so, I was able to go to the last training camp that the [National Team] has in Bend, OR,” Wagner said. “I was kind of able to keep up with the National guys, and then they put me on the Development Team … Progress is always motivating, and I was named to the National Team a year later. I thought, ‘Maybe I do have what it takes to make it to the Games.’” In just his third year of training full-time, Wagner finds himself a member of the world championship team, a world cup circuit participant and a favorite for the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. He still trains with the NSCD, which recently received a grant through the Olympic Opportunity Fund to support disabled veterans and injured servicemen through the process of learning, training for, and competing in adaptive sports at all levels. For Wagner and many other military veterans, biathlon is an attractive sport because it makes use of many of the skills used in combat. Biathlon requires quick movement and endurance as well as strong marksmanship, something veterans often do not get a chance to experience again after returning from active duty. In fact, all five athletes who represented the United States at the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Nordic Skiing World Championships in Sweden were either military veterans or active duty servicemen. Wagner, however, believes the sport draws veterans for bigger reasons than the chance to shoot a rifle again. “I think it’s the drive,” Wagner said. “Although we train as a team, it’s an individual sport, and you have to have a lot of self-motivation to get out there and train by yourself. I think a lot of [the athletes] have that because of their service.” Wagner said staying active and competing are especially important for him and many other Paralympic veteran athletes. “A lot of them are coming back from combat with an injury or were injured after they got home,” Wagner said. “They still have that fighting mentality, they’re just fighting a different battle now. We’re not satisfied with sitting

on a couch and feeling sorry for ourselves, so whether it’s our personal goals or reaching out to the community, we are always staying active.” Though Wagner said he and his teammates push each other in training on a regular basis, his goals for Sochi are more personal: to race to the best of his ability and to continue to make progress in his sport. “[My hope is] just to push myself and to do better and better,” Wagner said. “I know we’re there to get medals, but as long as I meet my personal goals, whether it’s a time or a place, I’m satisfied. If I keep meeting my goal, eventually I am confident that I will obtain those top spots.”

To reach those goals, Wagner is putting in the effort in the weeks leading up to the Sochi Games. An average week for the Nordic skier and biathlete includes two-a-day practices at least three times per week, These workouts consist of high-intensity interval training which range from short, oneminute sprints to longer four-minute repeated efforts. Wagner also hits the weight room three days per week to build strength and endurance. To learn how to move efficiently between the intensity of skiing and the composure needed for an accurate shot, Wagner said he uses a heart rate monitor and analyzes his results from training.

“If I had a 150, 160 or 165-bpm heart rate, how did I shoot?” Wagner will ask himself. “And shooting is the same as the cross-country side, there are slow days and hard days. Slow days are dry-firing and slow shooting, working on accuracy, and hard days are going out and working on racepace heart rate so that we’re used to that condition.”

As he closes in on the Sochi Games, Wagner said his focus will shift even more from endurance and technique practice to speed and specific race preparation.

The move from beaches to mountains has not been easy for the unlikely snow-sport enthusiast and islander at heart. He misses being around the water and being surrounded by like-minded natives. Colorado has its share of positives, though, some of which make Wagner feel a little closer to home.

“Hawaii and Colorado both have an amazing amount of sunshine, so I’m good with being in Colorado,” Wagner said. “Even though the temperature is really different, as long as the sun is out, I am good.” As immersed as Wagner is in his snowy sport, he will never let his Hawaiian identity slip away. Wherever he travels, his Hawaiian flag and ukulele are by his side. “Hawaii is home, it’s where I was raised,” Wagner said. “I’m never really that far from home.”

The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games Games begin two weeks after the conclusion of the Olympic Winter Games on March 7–16. NBC and NBCSN will combine to air 50 hours of television coverage of the Games, starting on March 7 with the Opening Ceremony. It will be followed by daily coverage of all five Paralympic sports in the Sochi program, before the Games’ Closing Ceremony is broadcast on March 16.

I feel like I shouldn’t be anywhere else.” Whatever happens in Sochi, I’m going to feel accomplished.” By Caryn Maconi

To prepare himself for that challenge, Strong spent the fall cross-training in skateboarding, mountain biking and yoga while he waited for the snow to arrive at his current home base in Nevada City, CA. Additionally, he has been working out with Russian kettlebells twice daily under the guidance of his strength and conditioning coach, Eric Kenyon.

The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games Games begin two weeks after the conclusion of the Olympic Winter Games on March 7. Strong’s event, men’s standing snowboard cross, which is a part of the alpine skiing competition, is set for March 14 with the closing ceremony taking place two days later.

Colorful cycling shorts designed for triathlon wear Cost: $76-$78

S a l ty Coconuts Triathlon Athletic Tops

Athletic tops in original bright designs suited for wear in triathlons Cost: $70-$78

S a l ty Coconuts Break Free Thin Strap Sports Bras

Salty Coconuts triathlon shorts are by far the most comfortable that I have tried. The fabric is very soft, with no itchiness or scratchiness. The padding feels thin to the touch but is made of layers of a unique blend of materials that holds up against long rides leaving riders comfortable. They also have pockets that held my keys throughout workouts. These shorts are also functional for the swim and run, staying buoyant in the water and avoiding the dreaded “diaper” feeling during the run. With their choices of fun patterns and colors, you will look forward to putting these on for each workout!

This top has great aerodynamics on the bike, comfort on the run, and fits like swimwear in the water. The pockets did not feel cumbersome, and the fabric moves easily with your range of motion.

I love this sports bra. It does not feel too tight or constrictive and it feels soft against your skin. I have to admit I was a little skeptical of the nonpadded, spaghetti strap design for those women who are not an “A,” but I have officially become a fan. Definitely worth a try for anyone who is looking for support, comfort, and a sports bra that feels light. It also held up extremely well and dried quickly when worn during swim workouts.

Pros: 1. Soft fabric that allows comfort despite form-fitting design 2. Built-in bra offers good support 3. Choice of spaghetti straps or thick straps 4. Includes three pockets

The 5K and 10K were non-championship distances offered at the 21K XTERRA Trail Run World Championship. This being my first trail run, I went with the 5K to ease my way in. I picked up a pair of trail running shoes a few days before the race at the advice of a friend, and boy were they were the best investment ever. The 5K terrain was mostly loose rocks on an uphill dirt road, and downhill on steep grassy fields. The shoes gave me tons of grip and resistance on the downhill portions, and allowed me to use gravity for speed while catching my breath from the treacherous uphill first mile. We arrived at 7:00am to meet with the rest of the group and avoid traffic. Next time, I’ll bring a jacket because it gets chilly out there in the morning. The race offered a free bag check or, if you prefer to keep your bags in your car, parking is right near the start line. The 21K championship race started at 9:00am, followed by staging of the 5K at 9:10am and the 10K at 9:20am. It was exciting to watch the 21K start and cheer for the soonto-be XTERRA Trail Run World Champion! Other things to note: • GPS signal for my running app worked fine (but hardly any phone reception) • Because the race started after 9:00am, we were running in direct sunlight with very little shade. Wear good sunscreen and bring your hat and sunglasses. • Bring a bottle of water and leave it in your car or at bag check. There were several aid stations along the course, but there’s only one water station at the finish line, which gets congested. • Because of their manual tracking system I didn’t have to worry about timing chips and I got a printout of my results a few minutes after I finished. • No headphones or iPods/MP3s are allowed on the course since we were dodging ATV riders, tour buses, and cows. Yes, cows.

After attacking this hill I knew I was almost home. I slowly regained my energy and picked up my pace. Only two miles left! Another mile, and I could hear voices from the microphone at the finish line just meters below the hill. With excitement, I cheered on each runner that I saw. After all, didn't we tackle three hills together? The finish line was within sight! Wait, teammates were taking photos to the right? That was the best surprise in my extensive adventure!

This was my second time against this monster trail and it was not easier than my first time, two years ago. The 21K consists of running around Ka'a'awa Valley twice before returning to the start/finish line. The trail started with a teaser hill which most runners were unaware of and sprinted through, only to find halfway through the hill that their legs and lungs were not cooperating with their mental state. This time, I knew to pace myself. (Perhaps a little too well, because after the hill, I had too much energy. Voom!) At the fork of the 5K route and the 10K route laid my final, final decision to continue with the 21K. Surprisingly, it does cross my mind each year to continue or to take the easy way out. But since the 21K was what I signed up for, I reminded myself to suck it up and that my training should have been adequate to get me through. After this next mile, runners get to a narrow trail, usually identifiable with a long line of other runners waiting to attack. This is probably the one part of the trail that I think can be improved upon. Widening the trail to allow enough room for two people would really streamline the course. It delayed my time by a few minutes -- not something I would like if I was trying to make PR.

Once runners got past the narrow trail, the next obstacle came at mile 6. Along the route, on mile 6, runners approach another hill, one which appears to be three times more massive than the first hill. This second hill made the first hill seem a bit silly and underrated. Assuming that you do • Lots of vendors and sponsors on site with free- not pass out from this hill, the next few miles are bies and product specials. Food trucks were sell- great, with nice greenery and forest. Then, you ing lunch too. Carry some cash since the credit slowly approach your next nightmare, a hill even steeper than the hill at mile 6. Welcome mile 10. card machines didn’t get a good signal. • There was a kids’ obstacle course, adventure walk, and kids’ sprint if you want to bring the family. I also saw several young children running the 5K with parents or coaches.

What I love most about running the Xterra? • Scenery -- lush greens of Ka'a'awa Valley.

• Tackling impossible hills, one after another. • Buckets and buckets of sweat equaling my preparation, hard work and determination.

• The finish line and the medal that has so much sweat on it!
