TCSD CONVERSATION WITH:
“
By Craig Zelent
”
Gerry Forman
I had the pleasure recently of talking triathlon with TCSD member Gerry Forman. Gerry won his age group at Ironman Arizona last NOvember, but he is so much more than just a great triathlete. Read on and you’ll see what I mean.
do. race on Corona SD beginner’s TC , e” ac “r t Gerry’s fis
Craig: What was your athletic background before you got involved in triathlon?
Gerry: Prior to being involved in the sport of triathlon, I was an avid golfer and runner. In my earlier days, I played a lot of baseball, both in high school and later in a lot of fast pitch softball leagues. I also did a lot of running. My running consisted mostly of marathons back in the 70’s while I was residing in Hawaii. My very first marathon was the Maui Marathon in 1977. That same year I also did the Big Island Marathon and Honolulu Marathon. Then in the 80’s when 10k’s got popular I primarily focused on those races since running marathons was very hard on my body. I did a little cycling here in San Diego in the early 2000’s but pretty much limited it to weekend riding. Craig: What inspired you to become a triathlete?
wanted to have a new challenge. On January first 2008, I was thinking about goals for the year and decided to do a triathlon. I have always been open to unique challenges having done sky diving and Outward Bound. So, I attended a Steve Tally session on Triathlon 101 at B&L in Feb 2008, and again in March 2008. I went two times because I wanted to make sure I learned as much as possible from Steve. Steve commented about me being there the second time and I told him I couldn’t believe how easy he made it sound. He got a big kick out of that and Steve and I have been good friends ever since that evening. That’s when I decided on Mission Bay.
MEMBER PROFILE, continued Most embarrassing or disastrous moment: In my first triathlon, my T1 time was close to five minutes - I was so unorganized! Best advice: Avoid over training, you want to make sure you're healthy and happy at the start line! My equipment: Wetsuit: Zoot (full) Neosport (sleeveless) Bike: Specialized Ruby Road Bike Shoe: Asics Equipment Wish List: Knees of a 20-year old! Alright, not going to happen, so... triathlon racing cycling and running shoes. Favorite Thing(s) About TCSD: The advice and clinics for beginners. The open water swim clinic at Mission Bay this summer was the best and I participated in every beginner club race. All the coaches are so knowledgeable and helpful.
Craig: What was that first triathlon like for you? Gerry: My first race was really quite an experience. Dee went with me and I made my first big mistake. I arrived so early that we sat in the parking lot for an hour waiting for the transition area to open up. I think that’s when Dee decided she would not go to any more races. I also had a good friend from my former company come watch. He had done several Ironmans, including Kona, so I was really happy to see him. I was worried about the swim, but it was uneventful. The bike went great but I struggled on the run. I was passed by the two eventual first and second place finishers. Actually, I finished last, but it was also third, so I got on the podium in my continued on page 8

Concors. His weekly sessions were fantastic. So you can readily see that I used many of the great resources offered by TCSD. I owe a lot to the beginner coaches. In addition to the beginner coaches, we are so fortunate to have other top local coaches lend their time on a weekly basis. All the swim coaches at the JCC, the Thursday beginner swim coaches, the track coaches (Mike Plumb, Jim Vance and Tom Piszkin) and the advanced swims led by Jim and Bill at Ventura Cove. Julie Dunkle leads a Friday morning swim and all the coastal beach swims every day of the week led by our wonderful volunteer swimmers. Wow, are we lucky or what!? I also want to thank all of our many volunteers and sponsors. I have not volunteered enough these past two years and I will change that going forward. Craig: How has your life improved since you became a triathlete? Craig: My life has improved significantly since I’ve been doing triathlons. I’ve been blessed with great health all my life, so have been able to participate in many sports. But to be able to meet all the wonderful people I have met these past five years has been amazing. A life full of friends is a life full of happiness. I have also dropped 25 pounds, from 175 to 150. That sure makes climbing hills easier! I also made a pledge to my youngest son during my first year
of training. He was struggling with some addiction issues, so I told him that if he stopped I would stop drinking. Neither one of us has gone off this commitment in four and one half years. I’m pretty proud of that. Several TCSD members have approached me for tips and support on this issue, and that makes me proud, too.

Craig: What is your perspective on the unique ability of the sport of triathlon to develop friendships among all ages? Gerry: I think the sport of triathlon has a unique feature that no other sport has. It brings people of all ages and abilities together for training and racing. Training and racing with people gives you the chance to forge new friendships that can last a lifetime. I recall going to Quad Cities, Iowa to race and qualify for the Sprint World Championships in 2009. I met Raja Lahti there and then we later went to Budapest for the Worlds and raced there together. Since then, Raja and her husband, Dave and I have been good friends and we have raced together many times. Another example is my Tres Amigos: Melik Hernandez, Guillermo Escobedo and Julio Gonzales. I’ve been training with them for about four years now on a regular basis. I’ve met their families, spent time socially and have regular in-n-out sessions with them. Even if we don’t train, I talk with them continued on page 11

weekly. They have become a part of my life. There are many others that I see on a regular basis that I truly feel close to. This is all a result of being involved in the sport of triathlon. I love it! Craig: I recall racing with you in Budapest, Hungary in 2010. What was your experience like racing for Team USA at the Sprint Triathlon World Championships? Gerry: Participating on TEAM USA and racing at Budapest, Hungary in 2010 was truly an epic experience. I met so many great people from all over the world. I was able to meet and spend time with Scout Bassett, who was competing for TEAM USA on the Paralympic Team. I shared an apartment in downtown Budapest with Raja and Dave and was able to train with them for several days. I gained invaluable experience from their input. The race itself was really interesting. We swam in the Blue Danube, and I had a good swim. We biked in rain so it was technical and tough. The run was along the Blue Danube and finished coming up and over a bridge in to downtown Budapest. R epresentin g Team US Having people A, Worlds yelling USA! USA! And handing out American Flags was so emotional and exciting. I had a good race. I finished fifth overall and was the second fastest American. I had a PR so I was happy about that. We raced on Saturday and on Sunday, got to watch the world class athletes race the Olympic distance race. It was a beautiful sunny day and the course was blazing fast. In fact, I recall seeing you coming over the bridge to the finish line. Marisa Rastetter was also there and I believe
finished in the top ten of her age group. Craig: Congratulations on winning your age group at Ironman Arizona. How did your race go? Gerry: Thank you. This was my most challenging and rewarding race experience. The amount of training that is required to complete a 140.6 Ironman is huge. At least, for me it was. I had done two 70.3’s and felt I was ready to step up and give it a go. Towards the end of the training it seemed that all I did was eat, train and sleep. But, I could feel myself getting stronger, and the longer rides were lots of fun because so many people stepped up and joined in with me to give me support. I have to thank Tony Berg for sticking it out with me on my longest ride. It was tough. I also want to thank Brian Long and the Thursday ride folks who helped me so much during the training. The race itself was different than I thought it would be. The swim was far more challenging, the bike about right and the run easier than I thought it would be. I am really happy with the results. I wanted to break 16 hours and I finished in 15:17. During the entire race, and the four days leading up to the race, my friend Julio Gonzales was there looking Sprint Tria out for me. He was such a thlon. big help to me! Qualifying for Kona was unbelievable and to do it in my first full Ironman was really lucky. I feel fortunate and proud to say “I am an Ironman”. Craig: Why did you decline the slot to Ironman Hawaii? Gerry: A lot of people have asked me why I turned down the Kona slot. For most triathletes this is the ultimate goal. And, it was a goal that I had: to qualify. However, I am a very poor
swimmer without a wetsuit. I have been working on this for over a year and still cannot swim one mile in a pool without a pull buoy. So, the mental anxiety that I would have for the next eight months would be unbearable. Also, I’m not sure that I’m mentally ready to do the long training again. On the other hand, I have big plans for 2013. I age up to 75finish. 2012 IM AZ 79 and want to compete for national rankings at the Nationals in August and this would not be possible if I took the Kona slot. I hope I have not offended anyone because I turned the slot down. By the way, the slot I passed on rolled out of my age group and into the men’s 40-44 age group. I understand the guy, Mike Morgan, a TCSD member got my slot. I was so happy that someone from TCSD will go in my place. Craig: Mike Plumb has been your coach. How has Mike helped you to improve and achieve your goals? Gerry: I have raced a lot over the past five years and Mike Plumb, TriPower Multisports has been my coach during this entire period of time. His plans have always had me race ready and injury free. His experience in all three disciplines is outstanding. Being local, I have the benefit of group rides and frequent one on one contact. I followed his plan for Ironman Arizona to a “T” and the results were there! He also hooked me up with Brian Shea, Personal Best Nutrition who put together a great nutrition plan for me. I was able to race without one cramp or any stomach issues. Mike also has a lot of local clients so I have plenty of folks to train with for individual races.
Gerry: Regarding my future goals, I want to compete in both the Sprint and Olympic distances at the Nationals in August and win my age group. I also want to be nationally ranked in my new 7579 age group and achieve All American ranking. I’ve been selected, once again, for the Wattie Ink Elite Team and we will be having a larger presence du r i ng 2013. I want to do as much as I can to help them increase t h e i r national p ro m i n e n c e . After 2013, I want to cut back on racing and spend more time volunteering and helping new people in the sport. I have found this rewarding in helping at the Thursday night beginner swims and would like to do more of this. I love this sport and want to remain in it the rest of my life: volunteering, training and a little competing. And of course I’d like to thank my wife, Dee, for being so supportive and giving me the freedom to do my thing these past four and a half years. I'm a lucky man! Craig: Gerry, thank you so much for sharing your story. It was an honor to be on Team USA with you in 2009 and it is a similarly great honor to call you my friend. Good luck in 2013 and beyond!

RACE REPORT: Along For the Ride, HITS of his ultras I let him set the tone as we began the maraton. James had participated in the HITS Palm Springs training camp a couple weeks earlier and knew the run course well and made mental notes on landmarks and distances. A mile or so into the marathon I took over wearing his camelback, it was only then I discovered how heavy it was, let’s just say a ton. I wanted to make this as easy as possible for James. Our fist section was a walk, a bit longer than I wanted. Through our marathon I was in con- Finish line, with tim e to spare. stant clock management mode. Whenever we slowed down, I sounded the alarm with �Do you really want this!� James wanted to walk more often than not, but that was not going to happen under my watch. Aid stations were perfectly placed and we used every one except one. Of course we stopped at each one, tick tock is all I could think. Every second counted. When one is out there com-
peting, the mind lets the time and mile disappear as if they were never there. Competing for 14 hours plus at this point the thought of missing the cut off time would be horrible and I did not want that. I made James break through every mental and physical barrier he put up. He “complainedâ€? of hurting, I did not know how much and really did not care, that was not part of the equation. The battery for my GPS watch gave out six hours into the marathon at mile 24. We were so close, struggling every bit. I kept insisting that James shuffle not walk, “Tick tock, you can do itâ€?. Those extra 17-18 minute mile paces felt as they were catching up with the fishline clock. It was truly all mental at this point. We finally could see and hear the finish lights and sounds from afar. I was not exactly sure of the time‌ I felt we were just going to finish or just miss out. I did not want to be on the latter, for James’ sake. Finally, the finish line in sight and a

down hill finish. At this point I noticed James’ eyes light up with a beaming smile. All I could say was “You did it.� We were greeted by the race director, James’ girlfriend, one of the event photographers and a couple of other race volunteerrs. There was no finish line clock, so we had no idea of what time it was. “Did we make it?� James barley eked out. The answer was yes, 16:31, with plenty of time to spare. Both of us were stunned, and so happy the journey came to a successful ending. For me coming in last, the first time ever, has never been so rewarding. Even though I did not push my body to the brink like James, being out there for 16 some hours was a first for me. Helping a friend accomplish a goal and achieve a “I’ll take it, third first place age group award was very rewarding.
RACE REPORT: Part II So, my race or as I called it a “long workout� was in the books. Even though the crown and all the participants had gone, I was able to scrounge up some of the remaining pasta and salad from the earlier athlete dinner. Then I collected my sole remaining items from transition and hastely loaded up my car. I had six hours to recover before Sunday's Olympic distance triathlon. Another night of car camping was my best option in which I find very comfortable. The next morning I was suprised I was able to walk around, with little soreness or any issues.

The Olympic tri was the second event of the day which gave me 30 precious minutes to get my transition area prepared and rest. The swim went off with out a hitch, pretty much on par with my other 1500 meter swims. On the bike, I felt remarkebly strong until the half way mark, when my legs began to feel the effects of the previous days workout. I also noticed a big difference in the road surface. I thought it was very smooth while cruising along at a leisurely 15 mph, but at race speed (21+ mph) it changed into being bruttaly harsh and it remined me why I dislike this race location.

Nearly everyone ends up training indoors only as a dreaded last resort, when weather or schedule preclude an outdoor ride. Working out inside, however, produces some subtle differences and benefits, and may even be a preferable alternative (or supplement) to training on the road. The most basic difference lies in the nature of the resistive load imposed. Although most stationary resistance trainers have a flywheel, few are heavy enough to faithfully simulate the kinetic energy changes so typical of road cycling (or most any form of “free range” activity), nor do most load simulators replicate the almost constant changes in grade and terrain experienced outdoors a flat road and no wind is practically nonexistent in the read world. Each factor contributes to the wide and rapid variation of power output out-
doors, even during relatively steady-state efforts. Stationary trainers, on the other hand, even when not in “erg” mode, impose a much more even load for a given speed, as becomes quickly apparent if a powermeter is used to verify resistance. Some trainers have an ergometer, or “erg” setting, which maintains a constant workload. That is, when cadence drops, resistive torque increases, and vice-versa, such that the product of the two – power output – remains constant. This feature allows the rider to “set and forget” a specific power level, and ensures that an unvarying intensity is maintained. What can make the “erg” more difficult for some is that the load is relentless. You either ride at the set load or you stop; you can’t ease off for more than a moment or so. Contrary to occasional claims, neither the Computrainer, nor any type of erg, keeps power
constant within a pedal cycle, rather, it keeps power constant across a number of pedal cycles. This is what people are not used to, since, when riding outdoors, we get to go hard for a bit, using fast-twitch muscles for a few seconds, go easy, go hard again, etc. This is precisely how neuromuscular systems are designed to function, i.e., episodically, and why training this way to excess may not create the best aerobic overload. Another difference is the lack of a cooling headwind in the neighborhood of 20-30 mph, causing some to blamem any performance deficit indoors entirely on thermoregulatory issues, but this is overly simplistic; power production and perceived exertion may be either higher or lower indoors, depending on the individual, the trainer they use, how adapted they are to it, the terrain/environment they have available for outdoor training, etc.

Steps Toward Raising One’s Indoor Power Output
1. Use a trainer that has enough “inertia” (stores a lot of kinetic energy), i.e., one with an adequately massive flywheel, to better simulate outdoor cycling. The Velodyne, among a few others, meets this criteria, and as a result, power output on it is usually as high as, if not slightly higher than, what can be done outdoors (especially if variations in power are accounted for with the normalization algorithm presented later on). On something with a light flywheel, however, it can be disconcertingly difficult to generate the same power indoors as outdoors. 2. Keep cool enough, making every attempt possible to minimize thermal stress, so that you can maximize the absolute training load, unless you are specifically attempting to prepare for exercise in the heat (which is analogous to the effects of altitude: since it compromises absolute intensity, there is no advantage, and probably significant disadvantage, to training at higher elevations, unless preparing specifically for competition there.) This means using a powerful fan, keeping the room cool (at least under 70° F, and ideally below 65°), and staying hydrated. Look for high-velocity “air circulator” models that move at least 2000 cubic feet per minute, such as from Holmes, Honeywell, Lakewood, Patton, Air King, and Vornado. Direct the air flow at your head and upper body, but position the fan to the side, so it does not blow directly in to your eyes. How you constitute indoor workouts will depend on your particular characteristics and abilities, the sort of racing you do, what your outdoor rides are like, and so forth, it makes sense to balance indoor training with outdoor workouts that are as variable as possible. Alternatively, one could attempt to deliberately structure indoor workouts to stress muscle power more, by doing short, high-power intervals, with either complete or incomplete recovery (microintervals), the idea being in both cases to induce more neuromuscular than metabolic stress, and having recognized the lim-

lots of air vents. The more air vents in a helmet, the more it costs. The new helmet had at least twenty vents costing ten bucks per hole. He bought black cycling shorts and a jersey emblazoned with the names of professional team sponsors. As soon as he felt confident for road riding, he donned his new gear and biked with Marilyn. I wasn’t included. Jake was gaga over Marilyn all summer long. Decked out in his new accessories, he biked with her every weekend. Sometime early in the fall, their affair lost its steam, and so did his desire to bicycle. The shiny, new road bike remained propped against the wall in the den, the shoes attached with cleats to the pedals, and the holy helmet hung from the handlebars. The shorts and jersey lay in a dresser drawer. Jake’s moodiness permeated the house. “That’s it,” he said one Saturday morning a few weeks later. He marched out of the house and returned in two hours with a new hybrid bike that had standard pedals he could ride wearing tennis shoes. “We’ve gotta ride like we did before.”
He said “we,” which meant I was back in his bicycling life again. He wheeled the sturdy hybrid down the driveway, leaving the rest of his fancy new gear at home. We headed east out of town towards the winding roads of the foothills. We rode up a long incline to the top of the ridge above the site of the accident. At the crest we stopped while he gathered his thoughts. “I can do this,” he said just before pushing off to coast down the hill. He feathered the brakes as we followed the curves left and right at a gentle speed, and he scouted every driveway and crossroad along the way. “This is it,” he said as we passed the driveway where his accident had occurred. At the bottom he pulled over to the side to take a drink and stare back up the hill. No doubt Jake had plenty of conflicting thoughts running through his head. Apparently he hadn’t ridden this route with Marilyn to conquer the beast gnawing at him, the fears borne by the accident. He wanted me on this ride for a reason. I was on his mind and would stay there for a long time to come. After all, I was the helmet that had saved his life.

COACH’S CORNER, Training Indoors itation to monotonic indoor training, some like to throw in frequent out-of-the-saddle “surges” to up the intensity. To best replicate outdoor cycling, however, the variations in power wouldn’t be completely random, since you would want them to occur within a certain frequency range. That is, varying power on even a minuteby-minute basis doesn’t really mimic what happens outdoors… the changes would have to be more often than that. On the other hand, a sudden doubling of the power requirement in middle of a pedal stroke wouldn’t be ideal either, since, unlike cycling outdoors, you don’t have as much stored kinetic energy to help carry you through the “dead spot.” To summarize, training on the road is more specific, whereas indoor workouts are more controllable and create a better aerobic overload, so optimal results may be obtained using an appropriate combination of the two approaches, or by manipulating force and cadence during indoor training sessions.
