Almost Offseason... Now What?
By Sergio Borges
We’re approaching that time of the year where athletes start to wonder: what should I do now? My season is almost over so what can I do to race faster next year? Here are our thoughts on the offseason: Take a bit of a break after your last race to recharge and freshen things up a bit. We also recommend a training program concentrating on aspects often forgotten by most athletes during the racing season. Take a Physical and Mental Break Once you finish your last race of the season it is time to take a little break. It is important to let your body recover and, perhaps even more importantly, to let your mind rest from all the training and racing stress. Play a team sport, go hiking with your loved ones or go on a skiing trip. You can still do some running, swimming or biking. Just keep it fun and unstructured. New activities will invigorate you, while your non-triathlete friends and loved ones will be glad to see you. Concentrate on Motor Skills Once you resume triathlon-specific training, keep the volume low and work on your motor skills. The best time of the year to do extra work on your motor skills is the offseason. During the racing season many athletes are so worried about split times and distance that
they forget about the importance of motor skills. Get your coach to film your stroke when you're swimming. If your bike is uncomfortable this is the best time of the year to get a new bike or get a professional bike fit on your old bike. Your body will have the time to adjust to any bike changes. For the run we recommend working on efficiency to improve leg turnover and minimize the time your foot is on the ground. Most top runners can maintain 96 steps per minute or better. Count the steps on one leg only, or double to 192, and count both legs over a minute. Don't be a (January) National Champion I am not sure where I heard this quote but I like it. Every time someone tells me about a great set of repeats or some crazy ride done at an incredible pace during the offseason I use the quote. The likelihood that this athlete can maintain this type of effort throughout the entire year is not very good. Training takes effort, it causes pain and it wears on you. Save that energy for when it counts later in the season. Being fit in January does not mean that you will be that much fitter by summer. The more likely scenario is that of low performance during the summer due to overtraining and getting mentally drained from all the high intensity. continued on page 3

Strength Training As triathletes we like to think of ourselves as very fit individuals. We run, we bike, we swim - we do it all. Yet we find ourselves getting sore if we go play tennis or do yard work. This is even more so as we get older. Strength training will help us strengthen those muscles that we generally do not use in triathlon. I recommend strength training year round. However, I know that many athletes cannot seem to find the time to do all three disciplines and also hit the weight room. The offseason is a great time to get back on some strengthening program. It will improve your power, and help with injury prevention. Another great benefit of strength training is to promote the anabolic effect on your body to balance the catabolic effect of endurance or high intensity training. Plan Your Racing Season Start planning your racing season now. You may have to sign up soon as many top races fill up way in advance. I like having a nice progression to a racing season. Schedule some shorter races early in the season and finish with a big effort on a longer race. Other scenarios are possible. Just be sure to give yourself enough time between races of different distances to do some proper training. This will improve your chances of performing your best at various races and distances. I recommend you work backwards from your big goal races and schedule some shorter races that you can use as stepping-stones on the way. You can start specific training for the intermediate races earlier in the season. These races will also keep you focused and provide a base from which to build on.

oping strength with low-cadence high-resistance intervals. Get a consistent and small dosage of aerobic riding during the offseason. I find that getting on a trainer is not the most fun activity over the offseason, especially for runners and swimmers. Make that commitment and you will be glad you did when triathlon season comes around.
Show us your TCSD Spirit!
Train Your Weaknesses I like this motto in general but I want to make sure that training weaknesses does not turn into doing mega-mileage during the off-season. If swimming is your weakest discipline, concentrate on motor skill improvement rather than swimming 5000 yards five times a week. Most improvements in swimming come from repetition and frequency. If you swim 25,000 yards a week using bad technique you will be cementing bad technique into your muscle memory and make it that much harder to fix. You will become a very fit slow swimmer. Similarly, if running is your weak sport I do not recommend training for a marathon to become a better runner. Work on your running technique by improving your stride rate as mentioned above. If you have to schedule a running race I suggest distances up to a half marathon. A full marathon is generally a very difficult and demanding event. It will promote a huge catabolic effect on your body and micro tears on your muscles (slowing recovery). A marathon can take up to a month to fully recover from, and it could drain the energy needed for your triathlon racing season. I often hear, “But coach - I signed up for Ironman Canada and I want to make sure I can run a marathon.� Here is my take on that. For most triathletes an Ironman is an exercise in energy management. The great majority of athletes walk during the marathon to insure fluid and food intake. The Ironman marathon is more like a training run. A solo marathon on the other hand is more an exercise in pain management, the pace is high, runners barely break stride to get that half cup of water. Most runners do not walk unless they hit the wall. It is a very different event. Running a marathon in the winter only proves that you can run a marathon and you can handle a three- to five-hour effort. I have seen many top marathoners struggle during an Ironman. Performance at one does not translate to the other. Scheduling a few long training runs of 18 to 20 miles during Ironman training should mentally prepare an athlete who has any doubts of their capability to complete a marathon. We suggest you save your energy during the offseason and train properly for the Ironman. Finally, if the bike is your weak discipline it is usually because you lack strength. Get on your trainer or go outside if the weather permits and work on devel-

Favorite local restaurant: I do the cooking for our family, and we eat fresh each day—don’t get out much—JV’s or The Dollar Menu. Before I became a triathlete, I was a: High school/college runner, no slouch (anybody see caddyshack?) as a golfer, then a baseball player at 35. Favorite Race/Tri Event: Superfrog director Moki Martin gave me quite an opportunity to participate in his races, which hold my greatest sense of accomplishment. Former athletic director Jim Duckworth’s (he was also good to TCSD) Camp Pendelton International Tri, which is now gone, was another rare experience experience military protocol and pride, I like Rick Kozlowski and his staff (KOZ Events), and truly enjoy their events, and what would the sport be without our club races. continued on page 6

TCSD CONVERSATION
By Craig Zelent
I had the pleasure of talking triathlon with the TCSD’s Charisa Wernick who earned her podium moment at this year’s Hawaiian Ironman. Charisa finished 5th in the women’s 30-34 age group with the super fast time of 10:17:14. Please join me as we get to know this very impressive lady. Craig: What was your sports background when you were a kid? Charisa: I played all kinds of sports when I was younger but my main focus was gymnastics. After college there really isn’t much you can do with gymnastics competition-wise, so I ran my first marathon as soon as I quit gymnastics. Craig: How did you become a triathlete? Charisa: I dragged my Dad into marathon running in college and he did the same for me about a year later with triathlon. He suggested we race the Chicago Triathlon in our hometown. And race we did! I borrowed a bike with basket pedals on it because, really, who wants to be attached to their bicycle for that long?!

Moving to California and meeting my now husband ranks right up there as well. I’m pretty sure I would have never gone as far as I have in triathlon without his support and ability to make me laugh.

This past year, my tiny bike commute miles added up to over 1,500 miles! If you’ve ever thought of bike commuting try it – it’s WAY BETTER than car commuting. Craig: What would you tell someone who is tempted to try their first triathlon? Charisa: Go for it and don’t be intimidated. I wish when I had started triathlon, I’d had a resource like TCSD. Ask questions and remember, all of this is for fun. I can’t think of a better way to stay in shape, have new challenges, and make some great friends than through triathlon.
Craig: What are your future triathlon goals? Charisa: Sub-10 in Ironman is a big one. Trying to get on the podium with the pros is another. My biggest goal in the coming years is really to just keep triathlon fun as I chase my goals.

PAINS OF AN ATHLETE: Plantar Fasciitis Plantar Fasciitis can be a devistating ailment that can keep an athlete (or anyone else for that matter) sidelined for a long time if not treated properly. Note: This is non-medical advice, information provided is from my own research and experience dealing with my own issues of plantar fasciitis. What is it? It’s the inflamation of the Plantar Fascia ligament under the arch of the foot. Typically this inflamation causes pain at the heel of the foot under pressure, especially during one’s first Calcaneus steps in the morning. Pain typically subsides during the day.

n
Specific Exercises. Using an elastic band, place slightly above the ankles, side step laterally about 10 steps each side. Feel the inner thighs and glutes working. Running is a forward movment and this is a great change up to get the body moving laterally (sideways). Another exercise is single leg dumbell or kettle ball squats. When squatting, keep head up and don’t let the knee travel too far forward. This is great for increading balance and core strength. Plantar Fasciitis need more than local treatment; legs, glutes and back all need to be strengthened and stretched.
n
Stimulate the Fascia. Fascia is strong connective tissue which performs a number of functions, including enveloping and isolating the muscles of the body, providing structural support and protection. Stimulating the plantar fascia and calf area fascia will draw new blood to the area. Fresh blood aids in recovery. Use a firm ball that is the size of a tennis ball or slightly larger. Place the ball under the arch of the foot, swirl your foot around keeping the ball under the arch. Apply downward pressure while moving the foot around. This is also good n Off The Shelf Products.

RECIPE OF THE MONTH: Tri Berry Bread Pudding Been to a TCSD Club Race? This recipe is courtesy of Dawn Copenhaver and has been enjoyed by many as part of the TCSD post race buffet. Now you can enjoy anytime! Ingredients 1 loaf of bread, (any kind you like… one day old bread makes the best pudding) 4 eggs 1/2 C sugar (Can use Splenda) 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 2 C milk 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg Tri-berry fruit (I use the frozen tri-berry fruit at Costco) Use enough fruit to cover the bread mixture. Can be substituted with any kind of fruit you want. n
Cream Cheese Filling: 1/4 cup sugar (or splenda) 12oz cream cheese Directions n Preheat oven to 325 degrees. n Whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large bowl until the sugar dissolves; set aside. n Cut bread into 1/2 inch cubes and place half of it in lightly greased pan. (I use Pam spray)
n
Pour 1/2 of the egg mixture over the bread cubes making sure you cover over all the cubes including in the corners. n Place tri-berry fruit over bread mixture so that it mostly covers the top (you can put as much fruit as you want, however, remember the more fruit the more juice and it can bubble over the top of the pan). Separating 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture, spoon small dollops over the fruit till it is covered.
n
n
n
n n
Put the second half of bread cubes on top, then pour remaining egg mixture on top, covering all the bread. Cover with remaining fruit to cover all the bread, then place dollops of remaining cream cheese mixture on top of fruit. Sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top. Bake until pudding is browned on top and set. About 45 minutes. Serve hot or cold. Can use whip cream or syrup for added topping.

Consult your physician on treatment options! n Physical Therapy such as ART to assist with ligament stretching and regeneration. Gastron Technique is another treatment method, a special stainless steel instrument that is precisly rubbed along the plantar ligament. This causes micro abrasions and stretches the ligament and the body reacts by sending fresh blood to the area to assist with the healing process.

Sable WaterOptics are the best goggles I have ever tried. I can see clearly and comfortably throughout a swim with no mid-race fogging up. Whether the conditions are choppy or flat, salt or fresh, sunny or cloudy, Sable handles it all.
SAM McGLONE
I have always been a very fussy swimmer when it comes to goggles. I have opted to not wear goggles in many event races. My competitors really know me for this. When I slipped on a set of Sables, I had finally found the goggles I had been looking for my entire career.
