Editor’s Letter

O

ne of the things I enjoy most about Boulder is the level to which we all enjoy our physical pursuits.

This lovely city is chock full of athletes ranging in skill from beginner to beyond ultra-marathoner. And we all live and train together. That made putting together this issue—the health and fitness issue—about the easiest I’ve done all year.

One of my favorite articles in this issue is about Nordic Walking (Cross Country Skiing Without Snow, page 34). It’s such great exercise, almost anyone can do it and it requires little gear. It was great to learn about how this sport is taking off in Boulder County.

I had the pleasure recently of trying a new sport myself—stand-up paddleboarding— thanks to Vela Adventures, a women-owned, women-only adventure company (Vela Puts the Capital “A” in Adventure, page 30). It’s great to have an option for getting out and enjoying a new, challenging sport in the company of like-minded women. It’s a great way to make new friends, but more importantly to try new things you might not normally try on your own. And you don’t have to buy or rent gear. Everything is included in the price of your adventure.

With all this adventure is bound to come injury, and Boulder has a new way to treat your ailments. Check out Changing How it Works (page 38) to learn about a new path to affordable healthcare.

With all the options Boulder offers us in the way of extreme and not-so-extreme sports, you must get out there and GO! I’ll see you on the trails.

MONTH OF MODERN COMES TO BOULDER

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK: BANJO BILLY BUS TOURS

During the month of October, Boulder will come alive with Month of Modern (MoM). This celebration of art, design and culture was founded to cultivate a conversation about Colorado modern and to present the Denver/Boulder region as one of the nation’s most vibrant hubs of modern design. “Boulder has great food, fantastic weather and an active population. There are many events related to the outdoors, but not many occasions to study and celebrate design. Month of Modern intends to fill the void,” says co-founder Harvey Hine of HMH Architecture + Interiors. Over the course of five weeks, MoM will foster community and conversation with a series of events—lectures, contests, home tours, scavenger hunts, film nights and gallery openings—to inspire, delight, and educate design lovers from all over the region. Programming will culminate in the “It’s a MoM Wrap” Party Thursday, October 30th, bringing the Front Range design community together for what is sure to be one of the most talked about soirees of the year. MonthOfModern.com

Banjo Billy’s gives history tours of Boulder and Denver, as well as brewery tours in Denver, from an old school bus tricked out to look like a traveling hillbilly shack. Hear ghost tales, crime stories and history while sitting on a couch, recliner or saddle as the bus rolls through the core of the cities. You won’t forget this bus tour! Although the bus follows the same route every time, no two tours are alike. Passengers get to vote at multiple stops for what they want to hear about–whether it’s a ghost story, a bizarre tall tale or historical facts. The tour is 90 minutes long, but we guess you’ll be hoping for more. Ticket prices vary.

Adults are $22; Seniors (60+) are $20. Kids (6 - 12) are $14 and children under 6 are free. For more information, visit BanjoBilly.com.

Skoop One, Give One Boulder’s own Skoop helps feed our youth healthy meals Article Heather Shoning | Photography Provided

S

koop’s mission to provide access to the very best nutrition—real nutrition that comes from real foods—is trickling down to the youngest eaters. The company has partnered with the Chef Ann Foundation to help deliver the best possible nutrition to youth through school lunches. They are calling it Buy One – Give One, and for every cup of Skoop you purchase, you provide a child with a serving of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Chef Ann, the Renegade Lunch Lady, works to transform how we feed our children through the school lunch program.

She is the director of food services for Boulder Valley School District, as well as an authoritative author and speaker. In addition to being an accomplished chef, her focus is now on using her skills and back-

ground to create a sustainable model for schools nationwide to transition any processed food based K-12 school meal program to a whole foods environment where food is procured regionally and prepared from scratch. Skoop will donate 10 percent of its profits to help ensure this mission is accomplished.

Founded in Boulder, Skoop’s first product, A-Game, is a superfood phytonutrient powdered formula composed of 41 plant-based ingredients. Its organic, non-GMO formula has many benefits, including antioxidants, probiotics, adaptogens and omega-3s. Skoop is unique in that it’s one of the only organic and non-GMO green drinks on the market.

Skoop’s other products are B Strong, the everyday mutli-tasking protein, and B Lovely, for skincare from the inside out.

Skoop made an intentional decision not to be in large grocers so that they can keep this commitment to helping the Chef Ann Foundation. The products are available online and through independent distributors.

HealthySkoop.com

Here are some other reasons why Skoop rocks: • Skoop is alkalizing. It promotes a healthy inflammatory response, therefore faster recovery time.

• Skoop easily and conveniently fills micronutrient needs.

• Endurance athletes and fitness competitors have their chews, their electrolytes and their energy bars but nobody thinks to pack fruits and veggies in their bag. It’s simply not convenient...until now!

• Only 50 calories—everybody has room in their diet for that.

• Skoop tastes awesome, plus it can be enjoyed post workout with a recovery shake.

• The probiotics in Skoop help absorb the protein even faster.

• Superfoods increase energy, which means better time spent in the gym, with the kids or on the track.

PHILOSOPHY

“We believe a peaceful world is created by people feeling peaceful within themselves,” she says. “They can take that peace from here and have a ripple effect into the world.”

hen a plucky 23-year-old massage therapist was fired from a spa in 2003 for doing too much to try to improve it, she set out to create her own spa built on her beliefs about healing and relaxation. And, less than six months later, the Dragontree Holistic Day Spa was born in Portland. Today, the spa thrives with three Portland locations and the new Pearl Street location.

“I really wanted a space where people were welcomed, loved and cared for,” says Owner Briana Borten. “I’ve strived to create an environment of healing and relaxation for the body, mind and spirit.”

She was joined in opening the spa by Dr. Peter Borten, an acupuncturist. The couple later married and now co-own the spas. After several successful years in Portland, Briana, a Montana native, wanted to be in a smaller community, and Borton longed for more sunshine. They settled in Boulder and opened up shop in July.

“People in Boulder are interested in health and spirituality,” Briana says. “I love Boulder, and it’s a place that values small business.”

Briana feels that the client experience is the most important aspect of the spa business. She is careful to hire only people who 26

Skin care treatments include classic facial, specialty facials, waxing and acupuncture skin care packages.

The spa features a Sangha room complete with several comfortable couches. Sangha is a Sanskrit word meaning a group of like-minded people who join together for mutual enlightenment. The Sangha room is a great space for bridal showers, birthday celebrations and other gatherings. The Sangha room is where you can experience foot baths; foot treatments; hand treatments; and head, neck and shoulder treatments.

For those interested in a more holistic approach to health, the spa offers acupuncture, herbal medicine and nutrition consultations. Dragontree offers cleanses as well as weight loss and smoking cessation packages.

Nordic Walking Hits Boulder County Article Ellen Nordberg | Photography Provided

W

hen a friend from back home in Sweden tried to talk former Olympian Annette Tannander Bank into becoming a Nordic Walking instructor, Bank balked.

“I said, ‘I don’t need to walk with sticks.

I can still walk just fine,” says Bank, an NSCA certified strength and conditioning specialist and two-time Olympian for Sweden in high jump and Heptathlon. She is now a trainer at Rally Sports, as well as a track coach at Monarch High.

Banks’ friend talked her into it, and she recognized the benefits immediately, eventually offering classes in Boulder through Fleet Feet Sports and Rally Sport Health and Fitness Club.

Gail Storey, author of “I Promise Not to Suffer: A Fool for Love Hikes the Pacific Crest Trail,” was also skeptical about the value of pole walking.

“I had my doubts about whether Nordic Walking would be fun and challeng34

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

ing,” she says. “But my hike of the Pacific Crest Trail made me a devotee of trekking poles, so the transition to Nordic Walking around Boulder came naturally. I love a walking/hiking method that I can tailor to the terrain, weather and my energy levels.”

Designed in the 1930s for competitive Finnish Cross-Country skiers to train on dry land, Nordic Walking has become hugely popular in Europe for people of all ages, and is catching on in Boulder County. The American Nordic Walking Association asserts that it’s one of the fastest growing sports worldwide, with approximately a million users in the U.S. “Nordic Walking is good for many different people for a lot of reasons,” says Bank, also a massage therapist. “Activities like swimming, biking and running use muscles on the front of the body a lot, which get tight and short and need to be stretched out, while the muscles on the back side often are weak and need to get

stronger. Nordic Walking opens up the chest and hips and strengthens muscles on the back side. It’s just an all-around great exercise.”

Claire Walter, Boulder resident and author of Nordic Walking: The Complete Guide To Health, Fitness, And Fun agrees.

“It’s a full body workout,” she says. “Using the poles engages your pecs, shoulders, and back in addition to your legs. And Nordic Walking carries a caloric burn bonus. Depending on how fast you walk, whether it’s uphill and how aggressively you use your poles, you can burn 20–45 percent more (than walking without poles) because you’re using more muscles.”

Walter cites research to back up the fitness benefit claims. In 2000, the Cooper Institute studied people walking the same distance at the same speed with and without poles. They determined that Nordic Walking increased the heart rate by ten beats per minute, increased oxygen consumption by twenty percent, and could burn up to 46 percent more calories than walking without poles. Much of this is due to pole usage engaging more muscle mass. Bank adds that Nordic walkers don’t feel like they’re working any harder using poles than walking without them.

“The perceived exertion is less than the reality,” she says. “If you put a heart rate monitor on while using the poles, you can see that your heart rate is higher than you think.”

In addition to the cardiovascular benefits, using the poles with proper form can reduce impact on knees and hips, counteract compression of the discs in the spine and strengthen back muscles. All of this helps with posture and balance.

Walking with poles can also help people with osteoporosis, obesity, or who are rehabbing an injury.

“My mom had double knee replacements,” says Bank. “She just used poles and walked really slowly. But she rehabbed so much faster.”

Bank cautions that poles would be contraindicated for people with extreme balance issues, heart problems or those who’ve had recent upper body surgery.

On the other end of the spectrum, very fit athletes can use Nordic poles for jogging, skipping, bounding uphill, interval drills, or plyometric jumps.

Nordic Walking poles differ from hiking/trekking poles in that the removable rubber booties or “paws” covering the tips are slanted to better grip the pavement as you walk. Most hiking poles telescope, while some Nordic Walking poles are one length. A good pair of telescoping Nordic poles with removable paws could be adjusted for hiking use as well.

Prices can run anywhere from around $30 at Costco for a low end version, to nearly $200 online for higher quality models.

Some Nordic pole brands, like Leki, Exel and Swix, have straps, which secure the poles to your wrists and enable you to lightly grip the poles. Others, like Exerstrider, have no straps.

Bank advocates the strapless poles for users with balance and posture issues and those who don’t like feeling strapped in. She recommends straps for people with arthritic hands or fingers and for long distance walkers. If you’re choosing the non-telescoping poles, both Bank and Walter advise getting fitted by an instructor or sales person.

Proper form and technique can make a huge difference in the benefits you receive from using poles, so the experts suggest taking a clinic so an instructor can assess your particular needs, or at the very least watching an online how-to video or purchasing a DVD. Many users enjoy getting outside in all seasons to Nordic Walk, others like socializing while exercising in a group, and some just like the ease and portability.

“I love my Nordic poles,” says Lewanne Graeber of Louisville.

“I got hooked using them in a class at Lakeshore Athletic Club, and they helped my posture so much that I bought a pair for myself. I keep them in my car so I don’t forget them. I also talked my elderly father into getting poles, and he uses them for balance and continued > stamina on daily walks.”

Walter sums up the benefits: “The greatest thing is that Nordic Walking covers all levels of physical ability and disability,” she says. “It’s accessible for everyone from people who need the poles for balance, to elite athletes who do it for cross-training. It’s a great sport for everyone.”

Changing How

It Works

Foundation Health has developed a new approach to primary care.

Article Camille Wilson | Photography Alex Vaughn and Provided

“We are just doing things differently.”

W

-ginnie meyers, marketing director

hen is the last time your doctor spent more than 15 minutes in the room with you—and you were conscious? At Foundation Health, an insurance-free family practice opened earlier this year in Boulder, the first appointment averages 90 minutes. Count ’em. 90.

By not being bogged down in reimbursement paperwork and procedure codes, providers are free to focus on complete wellness through improved, personalized care. Members pay $150 per month and have unlimited 24-hour access to the wellness team via same- or next-day appointments, phone and email—even video conferencing.

While some patients rely on membership as their only form of medical coverage, Marketing Director Ginnie Meyers says they do not recommend it. She says the best arrangement, and most 38

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

cost-effective, is to complement a Foundation Health membership with a high-deductible—or self-funded—plan.

“About 80-90 percent of expenses are included in membership for most people,” says Meyers. “And then insurance covers them in the unfortunate event of an expensive emergency room visit.”

Comprehensive primary care services include an introductory meeting to address any health and wellness concerns or goals, nutrition and supplement counseling, traveler’s health, pediatric care and in-office blood draw for lab tests. These lab capabilities include lipids panels, comprehensive metabolic panels and hemoglobin A1C tests. Other lab needs can be coordinated outside the office on a patient’s behalf, often at a discounted rate.

age—even those skeptical at first—have been pleased. According to Meyers, many are small- and medium-sized companies with relatively young and healthy groups for whom most of the claims are small, such as a visit to their primary care physician. She says many find that the cost is either the same as other insurance options or ends up saving both the company and employees money. It lowers out-of-pocket costs, has improved productivity and decreased absenteeism.

“It is really rare in the HR world to find a time where quality and savings go hand in hand, but this really does that for many companies,” says Meyers.

The office, opened in February 2014, has seen membership numbers double in each of the last three months and expects that growth to continue. The goal is to improve care so that it shifts away from just being disease management and back to managing wellness.

“We are just doing things differently,” says Meyers.

Foundation Health also acts as a conduit of care for members with chronic conditions that may require the involvement of other labs, specialists or hospital stays, making sure those outside providers have the information they need.

“We really value our members’ time and want to make it as quick and easy as possible to get back to the important things in their lives,” says Meyers.

Medical Director Dr. Todd Dorfman founded the new practice in order to advance a model of health care that encourages patients to seek medical attention when they need it. In addition to his role as a full-time emergency medicine physician at Boulder Community Hospital, Dorfman acts as the associate medical director of trauma services at BCH, director of emergency medical services for the City and County of Boulder, medical director of American Medical Response and medical director and CEO of Cedalion Health, an executive health consulting group.

Foundation Health’s wellness team is currently comprised of one other physician, Dr. Colleen Ryan, two physician assistants and two wellness counselors. Relying on the vast and diverse individual expertise within the group, the team meets at least weekly to discuss patient needs and work through any difficult cases together, an approach for which Meyers says many patients are grateful.

“Patients are often very surprised to receive a follow-up phone call average minutes spent from one of our providers,” she says. with a physician “It has become so foreign to people to get really great care and to know average minutes what that looks like.” spent waiting Like patients, employers that choose to pair Foundation Health average cost of an membership with a high-deductible office visit plan to enhance their benefits pack-

Triathletes “R” Us Boulder is a natural toy store for endurance athletes.

Article Jordan Lebowitz | Photography Provided

S

an Francisco is home to Silicon Valley, where many of the top technology companies in the world can be found. While Boulder hasn’t been given a cool nickname to represent the prevalence and dominance that resides here regarding endurance sports, it certainly deserves one. The list of top triathletes and Ironman champions that reside in Boulder is long and impressive. From one of the fittest men in the world, Dave Scott, to Ironman fem fatale Mirinda Carfrae, Boulder has hosted every Kona Ironman champion at one point or another.

GROWTH

The Boulder area became a hub for endurance athletes to train beginning in the late ’70s, right around the time of the first Ironman competitions. As the sport has grown in popularity—leading to an Ironman event nearly every month of the year—endurance athletes have started training fulltime, rather than three- to sixmonths at a time. The increasing frequency at which participants are preparing has given the area even more of a stake in the sport.

This allows training businesses to thrive year round, creating a larger community of triathletes and corresponding professionals.

40

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

Mike Ricci, owner and head coach at D3 Multisport, left his job in finance 12 years ago and never looked back.

“I was training friends for free and one day a buddy said, hey, you could actually get paid to do this,” explains Mike. “So, I threw a logo up on a website and got started!

Living here was all the marketing I needed.”

Ricci still competes in age group competition. One of only about 20 Level 3 Multisport coaches in America, Mike was recently named National Coach of the Year by Triathlon’s governing body, the USAT. He has watched the sport grow in popularity over time and has even had a hand in helping develop the area. Ricci started the Boulder Triathlon Club to bring together the community of endurance athletes. Although, he is no longer involved with the club, Ricci says that triathletes tend to stick to small groups and do their own thing. However, he feels it is important to try and bring people together.

WHAT MAKES BOULDER SPECIAL

Altitude is, of course, the greatest advantage to training in Boulder. The low levels of oxygen in the atmosphere acts like a batting weight for baseball players, but for your entire body.

Once an athlete leaves altitude, in effect removing the “extra weight,” physical activity seems easier and overall endurance will be much greater.

In addition to the assistance of the atmosphere, Boulder offers an enormous amount of outdoor training areas. Running and bik-

ing trails are everywhere. There is also ten thousand feet of rock climbing within a 10-mile radius for the more extreme athletes.

DESIRE VS. TALENT- H.I.T.

The acronym above stands for Heart – Intensity – Tenacity.

Endurance sports and the most rewarding experiences in life are often built on those attributes. Boulder residents, athletes or not, seem to be overflowing with each. Artists, musicians, writers, athletes, craft beer makers, whatever your passion is, Boulder will blanket you with opportunity and allow you to show your passion through hard work. Like most endeavors in life, triathlons reward the ultra-dedicated, not necessarily the ultra-talented.

“It’s a competitive thing. A measurement of yourself mentally

and physically,” Ricci says. Anybody can be good at it; it’s just a matter of putting in the work. We want to see how close we can get to the edge without falling off. The joke is, I don’t know anybody that did just one Ironman. The adrenaline is addictive.”

TRIATHLETE PITFALLS

A tremendous amount of dedication is required to experience success in multisport; it is truly a lifestyle choice. Endurance sports are only a hobby for most, not a life or living.

Ricci is adamant triathletes should be wary of secluding themselves too much during training. While the sport requires a lot of independent work, there are ways to ensure you are paying attention to what matters most at the same time.

“You have to find a work, family, training balance,” Ricci says. “Train when the family can’t see you, early in the morning.

Be done by the time they wake up. Involve the kids when you can. Take them on a trail with you. Don’t get to the finish line and have no one be there. That wouldn’t be very fun. It truly takes a team to get to the finish line.”

It isn’t just the high altitude, nearby mountain ranges or fantastic trails that make Boulder an endurance training mecca. No matter what passions in life you have, there is undoubtedly a niche of people that share your enthusiasm and aren’t afraid to support you. Boulderites are a dedicated bunch with strong convictions.

There is an abundance of the “to each their own” mentality. They honor hard work and perseverance.

Perhaps, Boulder will soon get a cool nickname like Silicon Valley. Maybe “Dedication Valley” or “Front Range of Passion.”

Neither are very good, but you get the idea.

Scarpetta Makes a Splash Article Heather Shoning | Photography Provided

M

aster Sommelier Bobby Stuckey and Chef Lachlan Patterson already had one über successful business on their hands, Frasca Food and Wine, when they decided to launch a bit deeper and developed their own wine label in 2007.

“As a master sommelier, you spend so much time dedicated to wine, you naturally want to become a part of the production,” Stuckey says.

The pair has traveled to Friuli, in northeastern Italy, for several years. After dedicating their restaurant to the cuisine and culture of Friuli, the natural next step was a line of wines that would uphold the tradition. Scarpetta was born. Out of the 140 master sommeliers, Stuckey is the first to create a wine from Italy. He says his wines are unique because of the location the grapes are grown.

“The viticulture of Friuliis is unique because the grapes are grown half way between the ocean and the mountains,” Stuckey says. “It creates a wonderful microclimate.”

Possibly one of the best things about the Scarpetta wines—besides the taste—is that there is one to enjoy for nearly every night of the week. They are delicious and affordable.

The Wines

Scarpetta 2013 Frico Bainco Description: Historically “field blends” provided the winemaker with an ability to showcase multiple grape varietals thus limiting the 46

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

risks associated with being tied to a single varietal. This cuvee of “bianco frico” from the Italian hills of Friuli-Venezia Giulia is a nod to this celebrated tradition.

Appearance: Star bright Aromatics: Fresh cut white flowers, crisp apple Palate: Crisp clean with medium weight Food and Wine Pairings: Delicious with grilled fish, green vegetables and salad Alcohol: 12.5% Scarpetta 2013 Sauvignon Blanc The Sauvignon Blanc comes from one single vineyard in the Colli di Orientali. This certified organic vineyard lets us show of the hidden strengths of this region for Sauvignon Blanc production.

Appearance: Light platinum gold with hints of brilliance.

Aromatics: Kaffir Lime, apricot and quince. The hidden element of Colli Orientali Sauvignon Blanc is its overly herbaceous notes and beautiful stone fruit aromatics.

Palate: Medium bodied Sauvignon Blanc with big attack of citrus lime, candied lemon with stone fruits (apricot and peach). A firm spine from the medium + acidity.

Food and Wine Pairings: Great with grilled fish and light salads Alcohol: 13% Description:

Scarpetta 2013 Fruilano Bianco Description: This Friulano Bianco comes from a single vineyard in the Colli Orientali region that is certified organic. Friulano Bianco from this vineyard gives us an opportunity to showcase one of the great, indigenous white wine varietals of Friuli.

Appearance: The wine has a light straw with hints of green color Aromatics: Highlighting the classic green almond note of Friulano.

Peach skin, ripe strawberries (yes, strawberries in white wine!)

Palate: Ripe, medium bodied Friulano with brisk acidity, reconfirming the flavors of green almond, peach and apricot Food and Wine Pairings: Friulano Bianco is historically paired with Prosciutto San Daniele and other salumi.

Alcohol: 14%

Scarpetta Timido Vino Spumante Brut Rose 5th Edition Description: The pair works with a vineyard in the Colli Orientali that is planted to old vine Franconia and Pinot Nero. This Sparkling Rosé is fresh and balanced with rose petals and ripe berries.

It is great to have as an aperitivo or with a plate of salumi.

Appearance: Bright pink Aromatics: Aromas of strawberries and flowers Palate: Crisp and dry with flavors of strawberries and a touch of herbs Food and Wine Pairings: This Spumante Rose is great to have before or after work, before a meal or after. Wonderful with salads, plate of Salumi or piece of Salmon.

Alcohol: 12%

Scarpetta 2012 Pinot Grigio IGT delle Venezie Description: Stuckey and Patterson work with three of the best vineyards for Pinot Grigio in Friuli. The first vineyard is on the rolling banks of the Isonzo River, the second is in the hills of the Collio and the third is in the hills of the Collio Orientali del Friuli. Our grapes are planted in cooler sites resulting in a wine of balanced acidity and alcohol. The wine shows that Pinot Grigio can be light and dry with veins of minerality and floral aromatics.

Appearance: Light straw color with just a hint of salmon.

Aromatics: Aromas of white flowers, stone fruits such as apricots and peach and hints of minerality Palate: On the palate, the wine is crisp and dry with medium high acidity and tastes of stone fruits, lavender, honey, pear, white flowers and minerals.

Food and Wine Pairings: This Pinot Grigio is perfect on its own as an aperitivo or with Prosciutto San Daniele. It is also wonderful with raw fish, such as sashimi or pesce crudo and is great with elegant chicken, pork and fish dishes.

Alcohol: 12%

Scarpetta 2013 Barbera del Monferrato DOC Description: Stuckey and Patterson work with Fabrizio Iuli in Monferrato, Piemonte to create this Barbera. Monferrato is the birthplace for Barbera, and historically unlike the rest of Piedmonte, its top cuvees are frequently Barbera. Hence, for good reason, Barbera from Monferrato is celebrated for its balance of fruit, terroir and acidity.

Appearance: Bright plum red Aromatics: Crushed berries and plums. Hint of earth and porcini mushrooms.

Palate: A medium bodied red wine with low tannins but bright acidity, giving it wonderful balance.

Food and Wine Pairings: The high acidity and low tannins let this wine work with everything from a pizza or homemade pasta to a piece of beef or pork.

Hometown Hero

Love at First Sight After Racing Her Way Across Several Continents, Rinny Calls Boulder Home Article Jordan Lebowitz Photography Andrea Mead Cross

L

ike many of us non-natives, it only took a single visit for Australian Triathlete Mirinda (Rinny) Carfrae to know that Boulder is a special place. A two-time Ironman world champion, Carfrae first visited the area in 2005, spending a month in town.

The next year she stayed for three months and then five months the year after that. In 2010, Carfrae became a permanent resident.

It’s no secret that Boulder has become a hotspot for endurance athletes to train. The high altitude, plethora of running trails and mountain cycling provide a utopia of environments for triathletes to utilize. But the geography and well-maintained open space aren’t the only characteristics that drew Carfrae to reside here.

“For me it’s a perfect mix of the great things about America… the healthy lifestyle and great food. Boulder is a unique place in the U.S., it reminds me of a European town. We’re really close to the mountains and there is a slow pace which I enjoy. You can get away from it all pretty quickly,” she explains.

Carfrae also gushes about the myriad of great food to be had.

Her list of favorite places to eat in Boulder is long, but Frasca and Pizzeria Locale are right at the top for her and her husband, fellow triathlete and champion Tim O’Donnell.

front door to arrive at her training grounds. Her favorite bike ride is out to Loveland, up the Big Thompson to Estes Park and then along the Peak to Peak back down to Boulder. The 110-mile loop takes her five or six hours and she enjoys only hitting one or two traffic lights along the way.

Carfrae rides the mountain loop six or seven times a year, more if she has the time.

Running is her favored of the three triathlon events, and Carfrae takes full advantage of Boulder’s amazing open space running trails. Her frequented home trails are Cottonwood, Eagle, Wonderland and The Res. When not outdoors, Carfrae trains at RallySport Health and Fitness Club.

Notice that a world champion athletes spends her time on the same trails and mountain roads as any amateur enthusiast that lives here. Boulder is truly unique in this way.

ADVICE FROM A CHAMPION

The main issue Carfrae wants athletes to recognize when training in Boulder is the altitude.

“Respect that you’re training with less oxygen, you must give your body the rest it needs,” she explains. “It takes longer to recover. You won’t see output or numbers improve here, it’s almost impossible. When you get back down to sea level, that’s when the benefits of training here show.”

HERE TO STAY

When asked if she and her husband would stay in Boulder after her career slows down, she responds: “My husband and I recently bought two lots to build a house on.

I can definitely see us raising a family here. We’re here to stay.”

Carfrae also says that she is excited to get involved with the community and help the best she can once here schedule permits.

She currently donates gear to local running companies, but looks forwards to being more hands-on.

The only downfall she sees about the area for triathletes is the lack of a 50-meter pool. Carfrae says that you can find 50 meter pools everywhere in Australia and that it is difficult to simulate an open water swimming experience in a confined space. The concern for an appropriate sized pool is shared by most local triathletes and discussed heavily in the community.

Whether there is a 50-meter pool or not, Carfrae insists that she would take that and train here over anywhere else in the world, any day!

Home Matters

Decorating for Your Soul Article Alina Kish – Decorating Den Interiors

W

hat is decorating really about for you? What were your expectations when you considered decorating your house? Do you have a spot or a room in your house that inspires you? Does your home feel like home? What are you trying to capture or create in your life right now?

Is your home aligning with your goals or is it fighting against you? What can you do today to align it with who you want to be?

Isn’t it all about personality? Much like you don’t want to see the same outfit you are wearing at a party, you don’t want your home to look just like some other one. You want it to reflect your lifestyle, your taste, your personality. Your decorating should tell a story about you and your family, the area in which you live, your culture, your talents, your loves. It should look different from a picture in a magazine.

50

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

In other words, your home should look different from a showroom in a furniture store. Don’t make the mistake of copying someone else’s design, instead of pursing your own personal style.

If you’re starting a project, give serious thought to your personal preferences, current trends and then set a budget.

When making major purchases, such as upholstered pieces, floor coverings and window treatments, you should buy the best quality you can afford, as these pieces will be with you for a long time. Resist becoming too faddish in shape, color and pattern, and you’ll be able to live with your choices for years. Add drama to your rooms with wall covering or paint, area rugs, pillows and accessories. Take a personal inventory of your likes and your dislikes. I find that most of my clients have

a much easier time knowing what they DON’T like. And by all means, consider consulting with a professional decorator. They know how to help you make your decorating dreams come true!

Whatever the case may be with your preference, your decorator will benefit from this knowledge!

Tips on decorating today

• Take a look in your closet! What colors do you see in your wardrobe that you particularly enjoy? Pastels? Dark jewel tones? Neutrals? Bright, lively shades? Doesn’t it stand to reason that the very colors you’re attracted to in your wardrobe might just be the perfect shades to consider in re-coloring a room?

• Consider current trends and fashions, but try not to use what’s “in” to the exclusion of decorating for your individual taste. If you decorate with a personal touch, you will find you will be happy with your choices two years or even 10 years from now.

Once you’ve learned the basics of good design it’s simple to filter through new looks and the multitude of choices available to you.

• Give yourself the freedom to mix and match, or not match at all. Yes, you do want something that holds it all together. It could be a theme, a color, a style, an emphasis. Emphasis is truly adding the excitement factor to the creation of a new room.

The basic idea behind emphasis in decorating is that every room

should have a focal point or a center of interest that immediately attracts the attention of anyone entering the room. One decorating myth that has been discarded in recent years is that good decorating must be limited to only one interior design style. It’s not unusual these days to see several different compatible styles within the same household. For example, some of the most exciting home interiors might include a formal Queen Anne living room and dining room, a contemporary kitchen, a country family room and a romantic Victorian master bedroom.

• Consider today’s hottest design trend: return to nature! From fabrics to wall coverings to accessories, our living spaces can easily reflect an embrace of Mother Nature. Why the growing interest in bringing a little bit of the outdoors inside? First, we long for peace and quiet at home. As our lives outside our homes become more harried and stressful, we are turning to our homes as retreats, and decorating them with furnishings and accessories we find soothing and comfortable. Secondly, our increased awareness of the environment and the quest to preserve its beauty has led to a desire to bring bits of it home.

Our love of Earth and the resurgence to preserve it influences us to bring nature into our homes and our everyday lives. And what better way to start soothing the soul than in your own home!?...

Relax! Enjoy! You deserve it!

Hot Spot

The Old Mine is Well Worth the Trip Article Heather Shoning | Photography Provided

I

visited The Old Mine Cidery & Brewpub on a recent Saturday afternoon only because of the obligatory “I have to write an article about it” situation. I had put it off all week because, for me, Erie is kind of a jaunt. Finally, under a looming deadline, I ventured east.

What I found in the beautiful, stately brick building on the corner of Briggs and Moffat Streets was a sweet—and tart—surprise. It made me wish I hadn’t dawdled. I also wished I could have brought my husband because he would have thoroughly enjoyed the ciders.

The Old Mine is the brainchild of Mike Yeager and John Jacquat, both Erie beer lovers. They opened the doors in December of 2013, but had their grand opening celebration this past March.

“John and I started The Old Mine because we wanted to create a welcoming space where the local community could connect,” Yeager says. “Erie is an awesome town full of great families and there’s nothing quite like meeting old or new friends over a hard cider or craft beer and some artisan pizza or barbecue.”

Because the Handlebar Hard Cider is the novelty here, I tried the ’49er Session Cider and Cana, a red-wine-barrel aged concoction.

The ’49er was light in both color and on the palate. It is a refreshing fall treat, and like the menu claims, I could have sipped it all day.

52

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

The Cana is much more complex. It has a darker color, likely from the red wine barrel. The taste is somewhat sour on the front end, but by sip number three I was hooked.

For the cider connoisseur, a blend might tickle your fancy.

Your bartender will blend your favorite cider with a beer of your choice for a fusion that will blow your beer socks off.

The Old Mine keeps five ciders on tap along with more than a dozen other brews including those from Dogfish Head, Fate, Boulevard and more. The selection of bottled beer is vast with

favorites from The Bruery, Avery, Trinity, etc. You’ll find everything from an American Wild IPA to a Blonde Ale to an Imperial Stout—the selection will not leave you wanting.

The Old Mine offers tasters for $2.50 each or four for $9. Tap beers range from $5–8 for 5–14oz. glasses. Bottles are large (12 oz, 22oz, 375ml and 750ml) and meant to be shared. They range in price from $11–50 per bottle.

For those who don’t want cider or beer (blasphemy!), they do offer a red and white wine and Breckenridge Bourbon. There are, of course, drinks for the kids, too.

To stave off your hunger, The Old Mine offers just a handful of choices, but each will satisfy your craving.

Pizza is, of course, a natural choice to accompany your beer, and comes in two choices—one your standard mozzarella, red sauce style and the other with the delicious Jurrasic Pork.

Can’t do pork and barbeque sauce on

a pizza, then have it as a sandwich.

The meat is dry-rubbed and injected with Handlebar Hard Cider and smoke for 12 hours. It’s tender and juicy without the grease. Don’t miss it in one form or another.

The atmosphere is fun and lively.

Even mid-afternoon on a Saturday, the place was abuzz with families enjoying brews and food. The indoor seating is mainly high-top tables for five, but a long community table that seats up to 17 is inviting. Outdoors you’ll find a small seating area on the street or a larger area out back with turf and room for games.

On the horizon for The Old Mine includes additional production and distribution as well as an expanded menu, pairings with a local chef and more.

Considering the fun atmosphere, great food and delicious ciders, I’ll be making the trek east again with husband in tow before you know it!

Open House

Can You Dig It? Family Adds a Basement for More Gathering Space and Kids’ Retreat Article Camille Wilson | Photography Denver Photo

W

hen Chris and Maryjo Ladd moved back to Boulder from Vancouver, British Columbia, they knew their growing family would need more space. They called upon their home’s original designer, Hower Architects, to help them create its newest addition: a basement. Yep, you read that right. They wanted to dig a new basement underneath an existing house.

Start with Warmth

Roland Hower designed the north Boulder house in 2008 as a 3500-square-foot spec home and describes its style as modern country. In 2009, the Ladd’s had been looking for something modern that wasn’t stark and cold or, as Maryjo describes it, made for a bachelor or couple with no kids. It needed to be able to accommodate their young family, and they instantly fell in love with the home’s warmth and open floor plan.

“The comfortable, open feeling of being in this house seems to come from Roland’s own warm personality,” says Ladd. “His innovation and precision for detail are just amazing.”

The linear floor plan includes full-height, two-story windows facing both north & south, allowing natural light to illuminate the interior living space. The master bedroom on the top level offers privacy due to its separation from the children’s bedrooms on the opposite side of the home by a mezzanine overlooking the main gathering space below. The mezzanine enhances views to the outside—thanks to a nineteen-foot cathedral ceiling in the living room—while providing access to all living areas via the modern steel stairway. Open risers with cherry treads offer added openness to the spaces. Craftsmanship details include wide-plank Brazilian Cherry flooring throughout the first level with in-floor hydronic heat.

Contemplative Calm

Hower, who has operated in Boulder since 1974, describes architecture as a big piece of sculpture. He says making single-family homes for clients is some of his favorite work because it allows him the opportunity to create spaces that provide what he calls “contemplative calm.” He says it’s about people enjoying the space when they get home from whatever they’ve been doing all day.

“It brings you back to your own sensibilities so you can squeeze out the sponge of whatever you’ve absorbed that day and start again,” he says.

The Big Dig

When the Ladd’s—who have worked with Hower on several improvements since moving into the home in 2009—decided to ex54

pand the living space by digging a basement, they called him right away. After the project design phase, a complex process ensued as helical piers and steel support beams had to be placed in order to hold up the house that originally had just a small crawl space underneath. Nonetheless, Maryjo says the project felt seamless from inception to completion due to Hower’s focus on quality and consistency with the existing structure.

“He has such great taste and really honored the original design throughout this project,” she says.

Completed just this fall, the 1500-square-foot basement addition has maximum natural light from enlarged window wells and continuation of the now-three-story open steel stairway. The space includes a central rec room with wet bar, wine cellar, media room, bedroom with built-in bunk beds and a craft room. The craft room has one chalkboard wall, one dry-erase wall and one collapsible wall in case anyone is inspired to move the crafting outdoors. Polished concrete floors and a central drain make for easy cleanup.

Maryjo says she grew up with her house as the gathering place for all of her friends and has always wanted the same for her children. This addition is a large step in that direction for the family.

“It’s so great to have options right at home that give the kids room to retreat from the main living space,” she says.

Hats Off A new shop on Pearl has everyone in hats Article Heather Shoning | Photography Provided

O

nce upon a time hat shops were commonplace, and people congregated there not only for buying hats, but also for socializing. Goorin Bros. Hat Shop is bringing back the quaint legacy of the haberdashery, and they’ve opened shop on West Pearl.

THE HISTORY

In 1895, craftsman Cassel Goorin began a legend by creating custom-made hats sold off of his horse cart in the hard-stone streets of Pittsburgh. He began each of his distinctive hats on custom wooden hat-blocks, each block having its own soul, its own personality. Every person who approached Cassel’s horse cart was treated as a guest. Adding the right feather, sewing the right lining and often changing the block or pattern entirely, he set out to make each hat as individual as the customer purchasing it.

Cassel taught his two sons, Alfred and Ted, the art and business of his trade. In 1921, the brothers took over Cassel’s business it became the Goorin Brothers. Alfred moved the company’s headquarters to First Street and Mission in San Francisco in 1949, blending east coast tradition with west coast lifestyle.

Although the popularity of the neighborhood hat shop went by the wayside, it began to gain popularity again in the early 1990s.

In 2006, Cassel Goorin’s great-grandson took over the company with an eye to the future and a strong foundation in his heritage.

By bringing back Cassel’s secret recipes and adding modern twists, Goorin Bros. hats begins to make a comeback. Today, there are 31 Goorin Bros. Hat Shops in North America.

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

THE BOULDER SHOP

Each Goorin Bros. has a shopkeeper, and in Boulder that’s Beth Robbins. After discovering the brand while working at Nordstrom, Robbins became enamored and sought a job with the company. At that time, Goorin Bros. just happened to be opening the Pearl Street store, and Robbins landed the job.

“It’s such a family feel here,” Robbins says. “It’s been an amazing few months for me since the store opened.”

Robbins was attracted to the hats because of the quality and style.

“When you walk into the shop, it’s like walking into a time machine,” she says. “We’re really trying to bring back the neighborhood haberdashery with a focus on customer experience and social interactions.”

To that end, the store hosts Thirsty Thursdays each week where customers can enjoy refreshments while trying on hats. They even offer a “happy Hour” special of 15 percent off each hat purchase from 4–9 p.m.

“People come in and hang out,” Robbins says. “It’s a social place to come and play. Nothing is as fun as trying on hats—it’s an interactive experience here.”

Robbins says every day she hears someone say “I’m just not a hat person.” To that she retorts, “Everyone can wear a hat; it’s about finding the one that fits your face and your style.”

No one should have a hard time finding a suitable hat at Goorin Bros. The collection is extensive featuring Goorin Bros. more than 260 styles. You’ll find fedoras, Hat Shop fascinators, cloches, bowlers, top hats, flat943 Pearl St. caps and so much more. They also carry Boulder children’s styles and XXL hats. Make a trip 303.443.4287 to West Pearl to find the perfect hat for you.

Mohs Surgery: Cures Cancer 99 Percent of the Time A local dermatologist offers this life-saving technique Article provided

Mohs surgery history In the 1930's a surgeon named, Frederic Mohs, at the University of Wisconsin, discovered that he could use a zinc chloride paste to fix the tissue surrounding a cancer and then excise the cancerous cells. This was the beginning of a very effective but fairly painful technique that took several days to complete. In the 1970s, the technique was refined by dermatologists such that the procedure could be done in the office.

The use of local lidocaine injections and removing the skin paste from the protocol eliminated both the pain and the delay. The procedure went from one of taking days in a hospital setting to just hours to complete in a dermatologic surgeon's office.

Today, Dr. Shawn Allen, one of two fellowship-trained specialists in Boulder, performs the Mohs technique. Dr. Allen started his practice in 2007, and not only performs Mohs surgeries, but also cosmetic surgery to repair the affected areas.

His practice offers laser treatments, injectables, facelifts, liposuction, microderm abrasion and more.

“Our off ice is specia l because we treat a ll skincare needs under one roof,” Dr. A llen says. In 2013, he brought in Dr. Rachel Simmons who specia lizes in medica l, pediatric and cosmetic dermatolog y, to complete the array of treatments offered.

What is the Mohs surgery technique?

The technique involves using a scalpel to remove a small amount of healthy appearing tissue surrounding the obvious skin cancer (this "safety margin" is usually 1-2millimeters of healthy skin). The Mohs surgeon then analyzes the tissue and is able to map out the exact location of residual cancer (if any) and if needed the process can be repeated in a precise directed fashion to remove any remaining cancer roots.

This technique has several advantages over other treatment options including increased accuracy, efficiency, effectiveness, and success rate. The cure rate is the highest with Mohs surger y for all cancer treatments and is 99 percent effective for the most common types of skin cancers.

Dr. Allen has performed more than 7000 Mohs surgeries with great success rates.

“No other procedure has the cure rate that Mohs does,” Dr. Allen says.

There are many types of skin cancers and across the board Mohs surgery proves to provide the highest cure rates when compared to all other techniques or approaches. Although 58

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

not all cancers will be treated by Mohs surgery, its effectiveness is unparalled. Left untreated, many skin cancers can become disfiguring and eventually lethal.

Why Is Mohs Surgery So Great?

One gets real time answers as the Mohs surgeon examines the tissue immediately, whereas with traditional excision the specimen is sent out to a separate laboratory with separate pathologists examining the slides and you get your results days to sometimes a week later. Dr. Allen acts as the surgeon and pathologist for his clients, performing the necessary procedures and examining the cancerous and healthy tissues to ensure all the cancerous cells are removed.

What Happens After the cancer is cured?

Once the cancer is removed, a fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon, who is also trained in cosmetic surgery, will be able to reconstruct the site using techniques ranging from skin grafts, skin f laps, simple closure or simply allowing your body to heal on its own depending on the size location and depth of the area involved. Some patients will do very well by healing without sutures or by direct closures with sutures. All repairs are done in the Mohs surgeon's office under local anesthesia without the need for sedation. This increases the speed of recovery and furthers the safety and convenience of the procedure. Patients can almost always drive themselves home (unless the eyes are involved) and usually need very little to no pain medication or antibiotics in the healing process.

So what is the downside of the procedure?

Time may be the biggest concern with the Mohs procedure. Like all complex procedures, this one takes time to be completed. Because your surgeon wears all hats and is the Mohs surgeon, the dermatopathologist and the reconstructive surgeon, most cases will require you to be in the office for several hours.

In addition to treating and caring for patients, Dr. Allen enjoys teaching. He is one of only three trainers for Valeant Pharmaceuticals International. He has been recognized by the White House and the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation for his outstanding commitment to volunteer service in the community. He is proud to have been honored with the President's Volunteer Service Award for his dedication to service in the field of dermatology.

Driver’s Notebook

Porsche Macan is the Sports Car of SUVs Article and Photography Tom Strongman

I

t only takes a few blocks behind the wheel of the Macan S to realize that Porsche has created a compelling car that marries the performance of a sports sedan, the versatility of a wagon and the off-road capability of an SUV. There is nothing quite like it at the moment, and that puts it in a class of one.

Macan, Indonesian for tiger, could well become one of the best-selling vehicles in the Porsche lineup. It certainly is off to a fast start. The first year’s production is sold out, so buyers will have to wait several months for delivery. In the meantime, Porsche is offering buyers short-term leases on a Boxster or a Cayman while they wait.

The Macan S has a black sideblade in the lower rocker panel that is supposed to have a stylistic connection to the 918 Spyder. For me, however, it disrupts the continuity of design in lighter colors. The sideblade is body color on the Turbo, and that is optional on the S. The Macan, derived from the chassis platform of an Audi Q5, is pure Porsche because performance comes first. There are two models: Macan S and Macan Tur-

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

bo. The S has a twin-turbo, 3.0-liter V-6 with 340 horsepower while the Turbo has a twin-turbo, 3.6-liter V-6 with 400 horsepower. Prices start at $49,900 for the S and $72,300 for the Turbo.

I drove a Macan S for a couple of days.

I was impressed by the Macan’s Lexus-like lack of wind and road noise, even when zipping well past the speed limit.

The audio system could be played at a soft volume even at 70 mph.

One sound that can be heard is the engine. Under acceleration the exhaust has hints of a 911. It is loud enough to deliver a tingle when the throttle is opened, quiet at cruising speed.

The 340 horsepower of the S is more than adequate. It can accelerate to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and has a top track speed of 156 mph. The Turbo hits 60 in 4.6 seconds and has a top track speed of 164 mph. Fuel economy is rated at 17 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway.

The transmission is a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic that can be shifted manually with paddles on the steering wheel.

The Macan’s sports sedan handling comes in part because the rear wheels are one inch wider than those in front and the all-wheel-drive system is biased toward the rear wheels. It corners as well or better than any SUV I can recall. In low-traction situations such as snow or ice, power is diverted to the front wheels as needed.

Porsche offers two optional suspension packages. One is the Price The base price of the test car was $49,900.

Parting Thoughts

Fitness For the Rest of Us Words by Ellen Nordberg

I

became a fitness instructor because I was awful at team sports. I gleefully scored a touchdown in fifth grade flag football—at the wrong end of the field. I was cut from the soccer team in middle school 45 seconds into try-outs. And after the seventeenth puck shot past me in one period of college intramural ice hockey, my teammates informed me I was no longer needed as goalie. I did once win a silver medal in a swim event. But there were only three contenders, and the true second place finisher was disqualified.

In my twenties I discovered water aerobics and power walking, both of which I could do without feeling uncoordinated, and earned an instructor certification. I started in the pool, where I refereed battles between pissed off swimmers who dove between the members’ legs during class, and the aqua ladies who not so discreetly elbow-jabbed sloppy butterfliers to keep them out of our space.

I expanded my repertoire to include outdoor pole walking classes, where, with the enthusiasm of an Australian Shepherd puppy herding my flock, I managed to trip over my student’s poles. More than once.

Next, I trained in a low impact studio format. I taught the participants how to do strength work using the bands on a “Core Pole,” and they thanked me by pretending not to notice when I accidentally wore the microphone headset into the restroom to pee.

My peer professionals have not always been exactly supportive or kind. The industry name for the classes I teach is “Special Populations,” and other instructors (often former pros, sponsored

74

Boulder Lifestyle | October 2014

athletes, professional coaches, or contestants on America Ninja Warrior) tend to treat us accordingly.

A former Olympic snowboarder, who taught rope climbing and BOSU leaping, accidentally observed my low impact class, and pretended to compliment me afterward.

“I was amazed you could find so many low impact ‘activities’ for those people to do!” she exclaimed.

Another former pro athlete and sometime water sub confided that she wore loose outfits when teaching pool classes because she didn’t want the participants to feel badly about their own bodies.

For a while I worried about the lack of respect others had for my classes, but then I got too busy trying to ensure that everyone attending them felt successful. And a funny thing began to happen. Members of this exercise community supported each other as someone lost forty pounds, rehabbed a chronic knee injury and returned to skiing or gained the strength to climb their first Fourteener.

They cheered each other on, and inspired me as well. They packed me up during my divorce, drove me to the doctor’s office after surgery and eventually hosted a baby shower for my twins.

They encouraged me to sign up for my first century bike ride and donated generously to the ride’s cause.

I’ve realized it’s not about how anyone views me as an instructor, or whether I feel like more of an athlete. It’s about being part of a different kind of team. One that has nothing to do with image, or scoring or competition.
