As the team manager/captain of the Philippines' first all-women multisport team, Team David’s Salon, Kaye definitely has incredible passion for sports and fitness. She continues her career as a multisport coach to teach, inspire, and influence others while staying fit and healthy through her culinary experience. What do you like most about triathlon? kaye lopez: I like how triathlon has brought me to places that I probably wouldn’t have been if I wasn’t an athlete. I enjoy meeting new people and being exposed to a way of life that’s very different from my own. I like how I discover so much about myself while I’m
training and racing. Training gives me an opportunity to test my limits and find ways to keep improving myself. What do you find most challenging in having multisport? kl: Swimming has always been my waterloo so if I plan to join triathlons again, that’s one area I’ll need to focus on. How did triathlon influence your life? kl: my passion for triathlon and the knowledge I’ve gained as a result of my personal experiences during the past 15 years have fueled a new passion for coaching.
“i like how i discover so much about myself while i’m training and racing.”
We heard that you are a chef. What do you love most about cooking? kl: I love being able to turn simple ingredients into a meal that my loved ones can enjoy. for myself, I like that knowing how to cook allows me to prepare healthy meals in the comfort of my own home. How do you compare cooking and triathlon? kl: cooking and triathlon are both physical and mechanical activities governed by science. The same way that a chef or a butcher who knows the chemical processes involved in dry-aging can enhance the flavor of meat, a coach or the athlete himself who understands the physiology and biomechanics of proper technique, bike fit, and training can help a beginner achieve his goals and reach his athletic potential. What do you think is the most important thing to remember when becoming a triathlete? kl: Patience is a virtue. Set realistic goals and take baby steps towards them. get sound advice from credible coaches, seasoned athletes, and triathlon books and/ or magazines to get you off on the right foot.
How long have you been into triathlon? michelle estuar: I started joining races on February 2011 at the Speedo NAGT 1st leg, where I also got my first ever podium-finish in Triathlon. I have been doing crosstraining and fitness/diet programs since 2008 and started as a running coach at early 2011, especially in provincial areas such as Cagayan de Oro, Zamboanga, and Bacolod. Why endurance sports? me: Besides the fact that females are tougher than males when it comes to endurance, I love endurance sports because getting in “the zone”—the high and the hype—makes me feel that nothing can stop me. What are your goals as a coach? me: My goal is to reach more potential athletes outside Metro Manila, especially runners who have a lot of interest and skill, but are not privileged enough nor given attention by experts. I feel that I have this mission of imparting my knowledge and experiences in order to encourage more people to get into running and help them run stronger for a longer period of time. What are your tips for athletes who are just starting out? me: Practice the progression principle in all aspects of being an athlete. By definition, this means allowing the muscles to adapt before adding more stress or challenge. Athletes getting into any sport without the proper timing in training get injured right away. Wait for the perfect timing. How can interested parties reach you? me: Interested groups can email me at michelle.ironmitch@gmail. com anytime or message me through Facebook at http://www. facebook.com/mitchs2r

ICE (ICING, COLD THERAPY OR CRYOTHERAPY)
rehabilitation experts normally recommend the use of ice for acute conditions, and whenever there is inflammation on the injured part, to cool the swollen area. This helps your body’s circulation to send blood away from the area, thus reducing inflammation, which helps reduce pain, muscle spasm and prevent further internal bleeding. It is best used in the first 48 hours after an injury and may be used longer if warranted. however, icing therapy is not for everyone. Icing should not be used on persons who are unconscious, have circulation problems, nerve paralysis, or allergic to cold or ice application.
if you’re regularly engaged in endurance sports like running, it’s not unusual to find yourself a target of frequent physical ailments like pain and soreness that go with progressively challenging your body during training. Should you experience any of these, the Price-H method is an easy and efficient way to help restore or rehabilitate your body while you’re at home or on the road. Price-H method: (Protection, rest, ice, compression, elevation, and Heat). This is a standardized method used by sports physical therapists and athletic trainers to help athletes recover through conservative and non-invasive means. When properly applied, these techniques can effectively help alleviate symptoms of pain and soreness.
METHOD
4
COMPRESSION
compression aims to reduce swelling which results from inflammation. It can be done through elastic (Ace) bandage or through readily available compression sleeves or garments. Just be careful not to impede too much circulation because this may cause numbness on the affected part. Apply to affected area for at least 20 minutes. It may be done at least twice a day.
METHOD
5
ELEVATION
elevating the affected part can significantly help reduce swelling and inflammation by helping send blood away from the injury. This is usually used in conjunction with compression; rest is needed for at least 20 minutes per period.

METHOD

HEAT
heat is recommended in chronic conditions where there is no swelling or inflammation. heat, as opposed to cold, causes the body to increase circulation in the affected part so that the body can clear the area of the by-products of the injury and increase the conveyance of nutrients to that area. use of hot packs (wrapped in dry towels), hot moist towels, and hot water bags are the most common ways to apply heat. Apply on area for no more than 20 minutes per session. heat should feel comfortable when applied. regularly check for burns or excessive redness on the affected area.
HoW to ice
ice PacK
ice MaSSaGe
First, dry the affected area. Apply the pack (wrapped in a dry towel or cloth) on the injured area for 10-15 minutes. Avoid application of ice for over 20 minutes to avoid frostbite.
Put clean tap water into a foam cup and put in your freezer until frozen. Peel back a small amount off the top of the cup and massage this on the area of inflammation in a circular motion. Do not hold the ice on one area for more than 2 minutes since this may cause frostbite.
NOTE: Cease ice pack application when skin feels numb.

erious runners may need to consume more total calories per day compared to those who run to lose weight or just have fun. But a runner’s diet is basically composed of well-balanced meals based on whole grain sources of carbohydrates with moderate amounts of lean protein and healthy fats. Knowing what to eat is just half of the story, though. The timing and proportion of macronutrients (carbohydrates, protein, and fat) in preparation for important races are crucial for athletes who want perform at their best all year long.
WHat to eat reGularlY consume well-balanced meals rich in vitamins and minerals on a regular basis. you need to have snacks with lower calories in between meals to maintain a steady blood sugar level and to speed up metabolism. food intake should be paced in regular intervals of 3-4 hours throughout the day, which means eating 5-6 times a day. for breakfast, fill up your tank with fruit yogurt or whole-grain cereal with low-fat or skim milk. have a sandwich with fresh vegetables and lean meat like ham/chicken/ tuna for lunch, and a healthy stir-fry made from rice or noodles, lean meat, fish, or tofu and vegetables for dinner. eat healthy snacks like fruit and yogurt, english-style muffins or bagels with nut butter, or trail mix in between meals to keep your metabolism going. KAye LoPez is an American Red Crosscertified water safety instructor, an ITU Level 1 Triathlon Coach, and Team Captain of Team David's Salon All-Women Multisport Team.
tHe niGHt Before a race
on race DaY
A usual carbo-loading dinner or meal consumed the night before a race consists of about 70 percent carbohydrates, 15-20 percent protein, and 10-15 percent fat. complex carbohydrates found in starches like pasta, rice, and potatoes become the priority nutrient since muscle glycogen stores need to be filled for optimal performance during race day. common meal suggestions include pasta with tomato-based sauce and some low-fat protein sources like chicken breast or fish fillet, and a vegetable siding or a side salad tossed in vinaigrette. It is also a good idea to hydrate with water throughout the day. It is important to keep in mind that you shouldn’t make any drastic changes in your diet as you near race day. eat as much as you normally would in terms of total calories but focus on the proper carbohydrate-fat-protein proportions and stay away from anything that could cause an upset stomach such as fatty, sugary, spicy, and high-fiber foods.
most run events start very early in the morning so most runners settle for a light snack at least an hour before the race. It should be high in carbohydrates, low in fat and fiber, and not spicy. It should be a breakfast or snack that you usually have in order to prevent any gastrointestinal problems before or during the race. Some ideas include a small bowl of cereal with reduced fat milk or yogurt, a carton of reduced-fat fruit yogurt and a piece of fruit, or skinny hot chocolate or latte with toast or english muffin. you can consume these snack options before a training run as well. Keep in mind that the best way to eat as a runner is to look at food as an energy source. your body is like a high-performance vehicle that needs high-quality fuel in order to function at its best. As you prepare for your next running event, choose foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients that will support your active lifestyle and help you become the best athlete you can be.

Some snapshots from the recently concluded Xterra Pang Rave Run 2012 held last February 26 at Timberland Heights, San Mateo, Rizal.
he vaseline men XTerrA off-road Triathlon Series is the number one off-road race brand in the world," declares Princess galura, general
manager of Sunrise events Inc. first held in maui, hawaii in 1996, it has grown to approximately 60 races with a few championship events outside the uSA, including the Philippines. “The Philippines is the only XTerrA venue in the Southeast Asian region,” Princess beams. Top finishers earn slots to the XTerrA World championship in maui and get a chance to compete with athletes who qualified in the u.S. series and big names such as seven-time Tour De france champion, Lance Armstrong. “you have to be extraordinary to participate in XTerrA,” Princess keeps repeating. understandably so since XTerrA is not your usual race. While negotiating elevation is the common challenge in road races, in off-road events, participants are faced with more
than that. “you deal with whatever is on the trail. you’re like hansel and gretel, following markers. There could be mud, sand, rocks, or grass. When it rains, the conditions can change drastically and one must know how to adjust,” she says. Alongside the ability to adapt, participants must be willing to get dirty and cross the finish line with scrapes and scratches. “An XTerrA finisher is called an XTerrA warrior,” Princess quips. But there is much splendor involved in this battle which combines adventure with tourism. “It allows you to see the beauty of the venue. you enjoy the mountains, the beaches. In Australia, there were times when the kangaroos ran with the participants, it’s really beautiful,” she gushes. Sunrise events, the group which holds the local franchise, held the
first XTerrA event in the Philippines in november, 2010. The duathlon which required pairs to cover 8 kilometers running and 18 kilometers on a bike was called ‘Putik Pare’. It was capped off with a mud pit roughly 50 meters long and four feet deep. “It didn't matter who you are, you had to jump in otherwise you wouldn’t finish the race. Senator Pia cayetano was one of those who braved it and emerged from the pit as a chocolate man,” Princess reveals. fortunately, showers await at the end of every race. “vaseline men provides an after-race kit so you can take a bath. And we have a water truck,” Princess assures. After that warm up of sorts, the Philippines had its taste of its first full season of the vaseline men XTerrA off-road Triathlon Series last year. “A full

“When people talk about XTerra, they always talk about how fun it is. it really is quite an experience.”
season consists of a rave run, which happens during the early part of the year, a triathlon which is a qualifying race for the world championship and Putik Pare (set for november 18 in clark, Pampanga),” she clears. “The rave run is called 'Pang-rave' because you normally rave about the sights. We had the first one in Tagaytay highlands. This year we had it in Timberland heights in San mateo, rizal,” Princess recalls. And then there is the world qualifier triathlon. Last year, only a hundred signed up with 1 of every 3 participants, a foreigner. As of press time, the number has ballooned to more than 300. “So many pros want to come over and join. They must’ve heard about how enjoyable XTerrA is in the Philippines,” she muses. “our hospitality is really of a different level. from the cheering
of the spectators to the production numbers. Last year, cebu governor gwen garcia brought the Sinulog inside the convention center and made them experience the culture. It was really jawdropping for the foreign guests! After the race, we had a boodle feast with loads of lechon, lechon baka, liempo, sugpo, puso, and all those delicious treats on banana leaves. They don’t have that in the races in other countries. We try to make ours really special so that [foreign participants] would come back,” she points out. even the audience enjoys. While they can’t enter the trails, there are activities for them at the race central. This year’s world championship triathlon will be held in cebu once more during the XTerrA Weekend on march 17 and 18. There is much to look forward to during the gruelling
1.5-kilometer swim, 35-kilometer bike and 10-kilometer run—the run leg is set to go through the fishing lagoon Papa Kits and the mountain bike leg is expected to include the brutal terrain of an area dubbed the ‘graveyard’. During the twoday affair, there will also be a trail run in 21, 10, and 5-kilometer categories and what they call the XTerrA Lite which involves a 500-meter swim, 35-kilometer bike and a 5-kilometer run. for sure, hilarious anecdotes and lots of laughs will be going around again after the race. “When people talk about XTerrA, they always talk about how fun it is. It really is quite an experience,” Princess concludes. To know more about the Xterra off-road Triathlon Series, log on to www.xterraphil.com.

@thechyrelgomez: Mine’s road safety. Sometimes, it’s different and a bit difficult when a woman is on the road. @jennifernon: safety on the road - not just from motorists but from all the crazies out there! Esp when I run at weird times of the day. And chafing in various areas! :S @wanderingdakini: Perfect shoes to run with. And a good list of music to keep me going. Also, it’s better to run with a companion. :)
BY CHESMER MELISSA FORLALES
a
race is well fought if a runner knows that he has achieved his personal goal or the goal to outrun others and emerge victorious in the end. however, running is not always about winning—it is about proving something not only to yourself but to anyone who doesn’t believe in what you can do. In the male-dominated world of sports, women continue to fight for equality. however, this proves to be a challenge as physically, men are stronger, faster, and at times even better than women, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. What most people don’t see is the fact that women face more challenging obstacles than men in more ways than one. Three-time gold finisher michelle estuar is living proof. She knows almost everything there is to know having run alongside men who can’t seem to accept the fact that she is outrunning them. According to estuar, men usually don’t want to be “chicked-out” and this is what drives her to run faster. This magical opportunity to prove a woman’s worth is something that challenges estuar. She claims that when she is out there in the race, it is not about withstanding what comes her way as it is more than the physical challenge. “running is more of a mental game,” she admits. Keeping confident and being mentally strong are just two of the best things that a woman should bring when trying to win a race over men. however, as previously mentioned, women face far greater challenges than men. Physically, women are more fragile.
At all times, they should be handled with care. But when running is concerned, there are no exceptions, so they have no other choice but to finish the race. generally speaking, women have to deal with the use of feminine pads during a race. That could be uncomfortable most of the time, making them too conscious. Aside from that, sweating too much and not being able to change clothes right away is considered a hassle for women. moreover, men just can’t let go of their pride and leave their egos bruised so they would eye a woman as a target to a race, never letting a female runner overtake them. for estuar, although that’s part of what she signed up for, she has other concerns. “The usual female concerns that bother me if I have a race is having
my monthly period, its side effects such as abdominal pain, headache, and cravings, and my skin’s exposure to the sun,” estuar said. everything is more than that, though. She adds, “The thing about women running a race against men, we have the tendency to be taunted or criticized by onlookers, especially if the race is in the provinces or areas that are not the usual route of races.” This kind of treatment from onlookers greatly affects a woman’s focus. most of the time, these negative words from outsiders contribute to the loss of focus and groove. Physicality is not always the name of the game because most of the time, emotions and mental toughness are invested in every run, in every mile of every race.
What most people don’t see is the fact that women face more challenging obstacles than men in more ways than one.

CELEBRATE WORLD WATER DAY WITH
Living without clean, sustainable water is unthinkable, but a sad reality for a great deal of people in our country. Tupperware finds a way to get rid of that reality, one drop at a time.
World Water Day 2012
World Water Day 2012
Even with the multitude of health drinks in the market nowadays, water is still one of the most essential things our body needs to survive. Most of us take it for granted, knowing that it’s readily available, while not remembering that it’s a rare commodity for more than half of the world’s population. The United Nations recognizes the need for clean water and spreads the news through World Water Day. Celebrated annually on March 22, it aims to show how important sustainable management of freshwater resources is to all those living in the planet. Tupperware teams up with the UN to help ease water troubles, starting with one community in the Philippines.
WHY WATER? Tupperware counts down the reasons why each swig from your Eco Bottle will save you and the world.
1.Water, especially when cold, regulates body temperature and helps get rid of toxins. 2.Want to get rid of unwanted and bad fat? Water can do just that. Fill up with water and feel filled up— no more unnecessary snack times. 3.Little sips will keep your stamina up and your fatigue time down. 4.Get rid of disposable bottles that take up so much space. Get the Eco Bottle and save space and time on shopping for disposables. 5.Feel like saving P20,000 pesos? That’s roughly how much one person spends a year just to get the recommended eight glasses a day if you keep on buying bottled
water. Drinking water from the Eco Bottle will not even cost you 10% of the cost of your usual bottled water. Just fill it up with clean water and you’re ready to go, all the time! 6.Most disposable water bottles take around 1,000 years to decompose, so while they do, they become pollutants in the water and in land, taking up so much space in landfills. It’s so sad to know that all this can be avoided with just reusing the same Eco bottle. 7.It takes an obscene amount of oil, energy and carbon dioxide to produce disposable water bottles—all harmful to the environment. Compared to filling out just an Eco Bottle a day, all the energy you put in there is the pouring of the water!
Tupperware Run for Water Each runner that will participate in the family fun run on March 25, 2012 in Aseana City, Paranaque City, will be equivalent to 1 liter of clean water to be donated to the community of Payatas, in cooperation with Operation Blessing.
Save Yourself with Tupperware!
Categories will be challenging enough for both first-timers and seasoned runners: 3K, 5K and 10K. Kids can also participate in a 500m dash. Along with the customary singlet and great freebies, a 500ml Eco bottle will be given out to all runners, and a finisher’s shirt waiting for them at the end of the race. Winning first place will definitely feel satisfying, but knowing the great cause you’re running for will make winning feel like a bonus, not the end all, be all.
The Eco Bottle can be a constant reminder for you to drink up even the minimum amount of fluids—that’s 2 full refills of the 1L Eco Bottle. There won’t be any worries either when it comes to chemicals creeping into your system through your Eco Bottle. It’s made of food safe materials that are non-toxic and the chemicals don’t leech into whatever you’re drinking, no matter how many times you wash and reuse it. Go ahead and carry it around wherever you go!
It’s amazing how much a water bottle can change your life, and it all starts with carrying it around.

riDe WitH passion rocKy LIm of TeAm ScoTT-SoLeuS-muLTISPorT STeerS 2011 ScoTT PLASmA 2 BY MINERVA MICIANO Biking is not just about the biker’s physical fitness and endurance. In order to reach the finish line, triathletes choose the right partner in their journey. A bike should be carefully selected and used. for rocky Lim, member of Team Scott-Soleus-multiSport, a well-
designed bike greatly helps enhance performance during a race, especially in triathlon and team trials. Lim's passion for sports made him decide to take all considerations in getting into triathlon, most especially in getting a good bike. he then got his 2011 Scott Plasma 2 Premium
Triathlon frameset last September from unISon. “I was amazed at how smooth and stable it was the very first time I rode the bike. As a full-blown aero race machine, it was indeed a pleasant surprise,” shares Lim. This model features: Shimano Dura Ace 7900 front and rear derailleurs, brakes calipers, aero bar shifters, cogset, integrated seatpost, adamo race saddle, ITm stem, fSA neo pro crankset, 3T Aero bars and brake levers, I-Pro3 power meter, and zipp 404/808 tubular wheels with ceramics. These specifications definitely enhance
riding performance, steering, frame stiffness, and stability during striking accelerations. “Scott exudes precision and quality in every detail. The hmX net and ImP5 carbon construction ensures the strength-to-weight ratio is maximized and, together with the extensive wind tunnel testing, ensures that the Plasma is among the top frame designs in terms of aerodynamic efficiency. most top-end bike manufacturers have figured out how to build a frame that transfers power efficiently, but too much efficiency can be detrimental in terms of vertical compliance or “comfort." The Plasma balances this well enough that I stay fresh longer,” Lim describes the special features of this sophisticated model that every cyclist would like to ride. The low weight, smoothness of the ride, and efficient power transfer of this Scott model would surely give riders confidence and motivation to be more competitive.

160K tested Santos' physical and mental toughness during the run while tracing the actual route of the Death march to pay tribute to country’s heroes. “I focused more on consistency. I trained on a pace that would be easy for me to sustain. I just ran an easy 12-13km every other day and a few kilometers of power walk. At the same time, I tried eating food that I planned to take during the race to see how my blood sugar reacts after,” says Santos on his preparation for one of the most prestigious ultra marathon races in the Philippines, and even in South east Asia. Team Triabetics is known for their aim to ‘win over diabetes and not to win over other athletes.' As a member of this inspiring team, Santos shares “Determination will take you farther than the greatest talent.”
