It’s going to be a very interesting month for Malaysian triathletes. The World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) is organizing an Ironman event on the beautiful island of Langkawi. It’s going to be a tough 3.8km swim (wetsuit not allowed), rolling to a hilly 180km bike course and a scorching hot 42km run. It’s not going to be easy to complete this 226km race regardless of how fit you are. Some groups rate Ironman Langkawi as the second toughest Ironman race in the world—and this is exactly why we choose to race it: the harder the challenge, the sweeter the accomplishment. It will definitely be worth your while when you cross the finish line and earn the title of Ironman.
I am particularly proud that Swim Bike Run Malaysia has been designated as the official media partner of this year’s Ironman Langkawi—and our team has worked relentlessly to complete this special edition. WTC is the same group which brought us Ironman 70.3 Putrajaya. Judging from their performance in Putrajaya, I am confident that they will put on another great show. I cannot wait to toe in at the starting line, finish the race, and catch up on my sleep. My best wishes to everyone racing Ironman Langkawi. Have a safe race! See you at Dataran Lang!

WHAT MAKES PLYOMETRICS SUCH AN EXCITING AND ENHANCING TRAINING PROGRAM BY SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN
r eg i o n a l o p e r at i o n s co n s u lta n t
Jump training, or plyometrics, is a high-intensity routine involving explosive movements to promote power and strength. However, you cannot simply jump up and down and expect to be powerful. When done incorrectly, plyometrics may cause more harm than good because of its intense nature. Proper landing (for lower body exercises) and catching (for upper body exercises) is very important in plyometrics. That being said, plyometrics offers a number of benefits for the active athlete. Not only does it promote power, it can also reduce the chances of injury. When you land softly, it promotes eccentric contractions. Such movements use muscles to act like springs or shock absorbers. Indeed, a 2003 study which appeared in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, reported that an eccentric-resistance exercise protocol not only plays a part in the enhancement of high-power sport activities, it is also instrumental in the prevention and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and other bone and muscle impairments. Several studies have also found plyometrics to produce a positive effect on the biomechanics of the lower extremities. Combining plyometrics with balance training is also recommended to make the most out of the pre-season training of female athletes. Can plyometrics help you get better in endurance sports? Running and jumping are similar in some respects. They both have a push-off and flight phase. Surging needs more powerful movements. With a progressive plyometric program, you will not only improve your power, but enhance the quality of your movements. Do you have what it takes to make the leap? Consult with a health and fitness professional before making the jump to plyometrics.

Is it safe to engage children in resistance exercises? Sports professionals think so. In 2009, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) published a position statement in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research noting the benefits of a properly designed and supervised resistance training program for the youth. Not only is such a program relatively safe for the young, it can enhance their muscular strength and power, improve their cardiovascular risk profile, enhance their motor skill performance, and increase their resistance to sports-related injuries. Engaging in resistance exercises will help them develop good lifestyle habits, and could even improve their psychosocial well-being. It must be emphasized, however, that resistance training for teens and children must be supervised by qualified professionals who should provide safety guidelines and proper lifting instructions, stated Dr. Avery Faigenbaum in “Resistance Training Among Young Athletes: Safety, Efficacy, and Injury Prevention Effects,” which appeared in the British Journal of Sports Medicine last 2010.

EXPERT ADVICE
O U R PA N E L O F E X P E R T S A N S W E R S YO U R M O S T P R E S S I N G T R I AT H LO N D I L E M M A S
THE IDEA IS TO NEVER STOP TRAINING OR CROSS-TRAINING IF YOU HAVE AN INJURY. IF YOU HAVE AN INJURY ON THE UPPER EXTREMITIES, THEN WORK OUT YOUR LOWER ONES, AND VICE VERSA.
I just did my first 42km marathon this month. Ideally, when should be my next marathon?
A: The various race distances in triathlon present their own unique challenges. If you are a newcomer, don’t be in a rush to step up between distances. Starting with relatively shorter distances is a great way to build your confidence and sharpen your skills. Set some goals for your sprint distance races and make sure you achieve them. When it is time to move up to the Olympic (or longer) distance, be comfortable and confident of your decision. Don’t be pressured into a race by your friends.You’ll know when you’re ready to step it up!
What’s your advice on riding safely in wet weather? A: Riding in wet weather can be challenging even for the most experienced athletes. Unfortunately, in order to do so, you’ll actually have to spend time riding when it is cold, windy, and wet. Make use of the time when you are riding in dry conditions to improve your bike handling skills. Ensure that your bike (especially your brakes) is in good, working order because you never know when you’ll get caught in the rain. If it does rain when you’re out cycling, slow down a little. Brake earlier when approaching corners and traffic lights. If you’re riding with a group, watch out for the spray coming off the wheel of the rider in
front of you. If you tend to run with very high pressure on your tires, releasing some air will increase the contact area of your tires with the road surface and provide more traction. Keep your hands on the hoods with your fingers on the brakes and stay focused!
How would working on one leg of triathlon affect my performance on the other two legs? A: As triathletes, we long for the day when all our training leads to us being equally skilled at each leg of our sport. However, until that day arrives, we often find that one leg often requires more attention than others. In the off season, it is usual for athletes to focus more significantly on one leg, while doing the bare minimum for the other two. If you’re in the thick of race season though, that isn’t a viable option. While taking training time away from the other two legs is undesirable, we have to devote the necessary time to turning our weakness into a strength. If you have a running background but are new to swimming, you might be able to switch out a session at the track for an extra swim. In the end, it is all about balance and training to be an all-round athlete. WILLE LOO SBRSG Adviser, Triathlete and Triathlon Australia Level 1 Coach

As a beginner, how do I know when to accelerate from sprint distance to Olympic distance and further?
The answer to most physical training questions is, “It depends.” Not all marathons are equal, and not all marathoners are equal. Obviously, a marathon that is more challenging due to more and steeper climbs, due to high temperatures and humidity, or due to a maximal effort, will take a higher physical and mental toll than a cool level race. Perhaps more importantly, our extensive research has shown that some runners recover more quickly than others. No one answer fits all races of any length, and no answer fits all runners. Study yourself, monitor yourself, and enjoy your running and racing.
NUTRITION & DIET
EATING RIGHT • MAINTAINING A HEALTHY BODY • RECIPES • LOADING UP • HYDRATION
NEGLECTING NUTRITION
Part 2 of 3
IF YOU WANT TO WIN YOUR NEXT RACE, THEN IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO CONSIDER THESE IMPORTANT ASPECTS OF NUTRITION. BY HARVIE DE BARON HYDRATION
FUEL
Most athletes drink a lot to stay hydrated. Here’s a simple way to check whether you are dehydrated after training: Weigh yourself before you start. Note down your weight. After training, weigh yourself again. If you see a onekilogram difference, then you probably did not rehydrate properly during training. Overhydrating is another issue. When you overhydrate, you will have a sloshy, heavy feeling in your stomach and you won’t be able to perform well in the race. Ideally, men weighing 140 to 170 pounds should take 750 ml to 1 liter per hour; women weighing 120 to 140 pounds should take 500 to 750 ml.
Some athletes skip carbs thinking that they can burn fat during training or that they don’t need it. This is false. Your body needs carbohydrates to tap your fat store and to be processed into glycogen stores for energy. Liquids and gels work best as fuel as they are assimilated by the body faster. Ideally, men between 140 to 170 pounds should consume 200 to 250 calories per hour, women between 120 to 140 pounds should consume 180 to 200 calories.
ELECTROLYTES Achieving electrolyte balance is important as you don’t sweat out just water. Human sweat is composed of sodium, potassium, calcium,
and magnesium as well as traces of zinc, copper, iron, chromium, nickel, and lead. Keep your body’s electrolyte balance by taking in more than just sodium and water. Keep in mind too that not every person sweats the same way. If you sweat more, you are more likely to lose more electrolytes. Consider weather conditions as well. Is it a hot race or a cold one? Lastly, most athletes ask if they should be eating close to the start of a workout or race. Should I eat two or three hours before? Or should my last bite be an hour before training or racing? The answer: It all depends. Sports nutrition is a science, but the application for each individual is an art form.
DURING THE RACE, DRINK AT LEAST ONE CUP FOR EVERY HYDRATION STATION THAT YOU PASS. SWEAT FOR THAT FINISH LINE TROPHY BUT DON’T FORGET TO DRINK UP ALONG THE WAY! 08
S W I M B I K E R U N M A L AY S I A | I S S U E 1 1
Studies have shown that the sweating responses of women are less compared to men. Women also have a greater evaporative efficiency of sweating which enables them to maintain core body temperature. There are variations in resting body temperature and thermal responses to positive or negative heat loads depending on the phase of the menstrual cycle. In a 2001 study by Kaciuba-Uscilko and Grucza published at Current Opinion in Clinical Nutrition and Metabolic Care, they argued that men responded differently from women with regards to heat load from the surrounding environment as well as to heat from working muscles during exercise. This is due to women having relatively more subcutaneous fat, a larger ratio of body surface to body mass, and a lower exercise capacity. Dr. Nina Stachenfeld of Yale School of Medicine wrote a paper at Sports Science Exchange of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute last 2013 stating that women are more prone to exerciseassociated hyponatremia. Men and women’s sweat rates may vary but one thing is constant: both genders need proper hydration to recover lost water and electrolytes. During the race, drink at least one cup for every hydration station that you pass. You’ll never know if the remaining stations have enough fluids for all the participants. Sweat for that finish line trophy but don’t forget to drink up along the way!

LET’S ROW!
WORK ON YOUR BICEPS, BACK, AND BUTT WITH HALF-KNEEL CABLE ROW PROGRESSIONS. BY SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN A rowing exercise is a pulling activity that targets the biceps and back muscles. It’s a fundamental movement pattern that’s essential in everyday activities. When you pull a door to open it, for example, you are performing this movement. Make it a part of your resistance training program.
For these sessions, a tall half-kneeling position aids in activating your butt muscles. As you progress from Level 1 to Level 4, it will be your core muscles’ turn to be activated. Keep them tight by kneeling tall, squeezing your butt muscles as you draw in your stomach. LEVEL 1
BILATERAL ROW Basic movement pattern 01 Place the cable leveled at around
02 Get down on one of your knee and
face the cable machine. 03 Grab the handles with your palms
facing down. 04 Kneel tall while keeping your arms
hanging forward. 05 While kneeling tall, pull the handle
towards your body while bringing your palms facing upwards. 06 Let your arms go back slowly to the
starting position and rotate your palms back as you do. Continue this for the recommended number of repetitions and then switch knees on the ground done at least 5
repetitions per leg.

RESISTANCE AND CARDIO EXERCISES FOR A FITTER YOU For fitness experts, endurance athletes should engage in resistance training. This is also true for individuals who mainly focus on cardio exercises and disregard weight training, and vice versa. This is because both types of exercise should be included in a comprehensive weight-control program. In a 1999 study by Kraemer and colleagues, published at the Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, entitled “Influence of Exercise Training on Physiological and Performance Changes with Weight Loss in Men”, they have found that there are more favorable effects on health-related fitness measurements as well as body composition when participants of the study combined resistance and aerobic training as compared to dieting alone. In another study by Sillanpää and associates entitled “Body composition and fitness during strength and/or endurance training in older men”, they found out that combination training promoted an optimization of body composition compared to just doing one type of exercise. This paper was published last 2008 at Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise which is the monthly journal of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM).

TAKING ON THE IRONMAN
A
HOW AMATEURS CAN TRAIN FOR ONE OF THE MOST CHALLENGING SPORTING EVENTS IN THE WORLD BY RICHARD TANG
An Ironman triathlon consists of a 3.8km swim, 180km bike, and 42km run. It is considered as one of the most difficult sporting events in the world--and Malaysia is very fortunate to have an Ironman race in Langkawi this year after a three-year hiatus. Training for an endurance sport such as the Ironman is a different ball game. One needs to be very disciplined and passionate. I always say that training for an Iron distance triathlon is a lifestyle as you have to seamlessly incorporate Ironman training into your family and work schedules. Married triathletes with kids have the greatest challenge. When my daughter was five years old, I would read storybooks to her at night. Most of the time, I dozed off on page 2 while she is still wide awake. A supportive spouse plays an important role too. The spouse may help respond to the kid’s needs when you’re busy training. She can entertain the kids when you’re racing. They only have a glimpse of you at the race start, leaving T1, leaving T2, and at the finishing arch. Your total ‘face time’ is only 10 minutes out of the 15-hour race. I am just like most amateurs; I am not a naturally gifted triathlete. I have to work extra hard to join the race. A gifted runner just needs to clock 60km a week to run a 3:30 marathon. I have to clock 100km to achieve similar results. As for Iron distance training, I usually log between 15 to 28 hours a week; others may only need 12 hours a week. This is an example of my weekday routine. The number of hours you train every week depends on your level of fitness, experience, and lifestyle. Training duration, frequency, and intensity is tied into your race goals. There are different reasons why people race. Some race to test limits while others are bent on earning the Ironman title. Some race for charity while others are after the prize money. Regardless of your
goals, the most important element of training is that it has to be (painfully) fun. If it’s not fun, then you will not be able to follow the plan day-in and day-out. Consistency is king. We also need to balance our lifestyle. Besides professional triathletes who race for a living, amateur triathletes have many other higher priorities, like playing with our children as opposed to doing 10km run after work. I would like to share this great quote by a renowned triathlon coach, Matt Dixon: “ While many amateurs are highly motivated and have great passion for the sport, the goal is to maximize sporting performance within the restrictions imposed by the need to maintain a balanced and successful life. If you win a race but get fired, or spouse leaves you, or you have huge debt, or your house is repossessed, it would be hard to argue that the win represents a “success.”

“WINNING IRONMAN NEW ZEALAND BACK IN 2001 WAS A DREAM COME TRUE. I’VE WATCHED THE RACE SINCE I WAS 14 YEARS OLD. I OFTEN DREAMED ABOUT SOMEDAY RACING AND BEING ON THE PODIUM.” 16
S W I M B I K E R U N M A L AY S I A | I S S U E 1 1
AT 42 YEARS OLD, CAMERON BROWN HAS NO PLANS OF SLOWING DOWN ANYTIME SOON What’s your most memorable sporting moment? I’ve had quite a few but winning Ironman New Zealand back in 2001 was a dream come true. I’ve watched the race since I was 14 years old and every year we would have athletes from Japan stay with us. I would follow the professionals throughout the day and our homestay athletes around the Auckland Ironman course. It was always a fantastic day. I often dreamed about someday racing and being on the podium. When it happened in 2001, I was pretty emotional! I never thought I would win ten titles.
What was your weakest moment in racing? How did you deal with the situation? Having to pull out of the Hawaii Ironman in 2011. I had trained in Boulder, Colorado eight weeks before the race and was in great form. I got to Hawaii ten days out but then picked up a virus four days before the race. I couldn’t even get out of bed on race morning. I was that sick. It was tough mentally so I took some time off and prepared for the next challenge. I have had plenty of highs and lows over my 27 years so I always try to get back on the horse straight away and commit to a new goal.
Describe a typical training week. How many hours do you swim, bike, and run? How much time do you devote to recovery and family? I usually swim five times a week (four kilometers per session), go on five to six rides, which can be anywhere from 90 minutes to six hours, and run six to seven times a week, around 100 to 120 kilometers a week. I always try and finish my training by 3PM so it’s then family time with the boys. My boys are now 11 and 13. Every day they have some training for either BMX, soccer, mountain biking, trampolining, and swimming so it’s go, go, go! Cameron Brown is one exceptional athlete. Not only has he bagged New Zealand’s Ironman title ten times, he has also placed second twice in the Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. The Kona event is considered to be one of the toughest in the world, and so triathlon fans are excited to see how Brown will fare in this year’s Ironman Langkawi. Here, Brown talks about the upcoming race, among many other things.
Ironman Malaysia is back. You have raced a lot in Asia. What are your thoughts going into the race? I’m really looking forward to Ironman Malaysia and coming to a new destination. I’ve heard some great things about Langkawi and how beautiful it is.
How and when did you get into triathlon?
You’ve raced around the world. What makes triathlon in Asia different from the rest of the world? It’s one of the toughest places to race because of the heat and humidity you often get in Asia. I raced in Japan for many years and I remember doing one of the hottest races ever. It was the Shodoshima Olympic distance race and I only just made it to the finish line. There had been a heat wave all over Japan. When we got the train back to Tokyo later that day, the temperature in Tokyo was 40C.
What is your favorite food when a race is fast approaching? I always love my mum’s salmon pasta the night before. It has been a true winner for many years.
My first race was way back in 1987 at the Ice Breaker Triathlon in Auckland which was an 800m swim, 18km bike, and 5km run. One of my high school teachers started up a triathlon squad in school--I was 14 years old--and we had some great success winning many national titles. We would turn up at Bucklands Beach every Friday afternoon and sometimes train. Most of the time was spent talking crap about the latest gadgets in triathlon or which bike we dreamed of having.
Who were your mentors when you were starting out?
You’re a ten-time champion of Ironman New Zealand and placed second twice in the Ironman World Championships in Kona. Where does your strength come from?
You won your 13th Ironman title this year in Cairns. Do you have any plans of slowing down in the future?
I’ve always tried to have goals throughout my career so I was able to keep pushing my body each year. If I didn’t have any goals, I would struggle to train and stay motivated. I also just love training and try to always have a bit of fun out there and train with other people to keep pushing myself. I’m now 42 years old and still loving it.
Richard Wells is one of New Zealand’s greatest triathletes. When I was a junior, he was my hero. He won the 1987 World Short Course and Long Course Triathlon Championships. When he came to our school after he won the world title, we were just in awe of him. He is an incredible athlete and a great role model. We still keep in touch and go for the odd training session.
I don’t plan on giving up my day job anytime soon. Hopefully, I still have a few more good years left in the tank.
What’s your best recovery tip for long sessions? Get into your 2XU compression gear straight away and get fluids into you ASAP. The first 30 minutes after a hard session are the most crucial. S W I M B I K E R U N M A L AY S I A | I S S U E 1 1

COURSE MAPS SWIM / 3.8KM The race begins with a one lap out and back clockwise swim starting from the Tourism Jetty. Athletes will swim out for 1850 meters and then make a right turn for 100 meters before heading back to the jetty. The age group swim start will be a rolling one. Athletes will cross a timing mat on the jetty pontoon before jumping in the water to start the swim. The rolling start will ensure a continuous, smooth, and safe flow of athletes (4 or 5 at a time) into the water. Upon completion of the swim, athletes have a 200 meter run to transition. The swim will be non-wetsuit with water temperatures in September hovering around 30 C (86F).
BIKE / 180KM The two-loop bike course heads out of Kuah town on a clockwise loop from the southernmost point around the mountain ‘Gunung Raya’ and into the North. Passing through several villages, athletes will get a taste of the island’s local communities. Athletes will enjoy the local wildlife and winding terrain, passing the Langkawi Falls on route to the Datai turnaround. The loop will continue along the coastline heading around Ayer Hangat back towards Kuah Town. The course will take place on shared roadways with local traffic in order to maintain an access route to Langkawi International Airport.
RUN / 42.2KM The run course will showcase the best Malaysia has to offer as athletes pass local night markets, botanic gardens, and the Langkawi Stadium. The flat course will bring athletes into Kuah town and past Dataran Lang (Eagle Square) to begin their four laps. Athletes will then head north winding past Legenda and Chogm Park and out of town before the run turnaround in front of Langkawi Stadium. *The Run course is subject to change.

The heat and humidity and undulating hills of Langkawi’s bike course are what make IRONMAN Malaysia one of the toughest IRONMAN challenges you will encounter. Thanks to Red Bull (Product of Europe), the bike course has become a little bit tougher and a lot more exciting! If you are not familiar with the 10km section of road on Jalan Datai, pay attention. Detailed by our course designer as the toughest section of the course the route along Jalan Datai has been renamed the ‘Red Bull Tough Zone’. The Red Bull Tough Zone is a time trial section whereby the fastest age group male and female to complete the 10km section will be crowned the Red Bull Tough Zone Champion. Red Bull Tough Zone Champions will be announced at the awards ceremony on Sunday night and will be presented an incentive bonus for their accomplishment. Timing points will be placed at the start of the climb under a Red Bull inflatable arch and at the finish at the top of Datai Bay. Athletes will have to complete the climb twice, so, two chances to score a PR and the fastest split! The 10km route starts at KM39.5. Comprising of five climbs that wind around Jalan Datai on exposed hot roads with potentially some monkey spectators on the sidelines. The final climb (5) may be the shortest but it is the steepest as the route winds up a cobble stone road and through a tunnel before you reaching the peak. The climbs are as follows:
> KM40.5 for 350 metres > KM42.3 for 620 metres > KM44.5 for 290 metres > KM46 for 200 metres > KM48.2 for 100 metres

WING57 TM
THE RUDY PROJECT REVOLUTION WITH THE LAUNCH OF WING57 TM, THE WORLD’S FASTEST AND MOST AERODYNAMIC AERO-TRI-ROAD HELMET, RUDY PROJECT COMES UP WITH ANOTHER BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION The Rudy Project has done it again. A highly engineered breakthrough, Wing57 TM works best with all TT positions and back profiles. This is a collaboration between Rudy Project and John Cobb, aerodynamics guru. Wing57 TM is built on Rudy Project’s RP-Optics advanced polycarbonate technology. Its innovative coatings offer superior optical protection against harmful UV rays, minimizing eye strain. Wing57 TM is also equipped with an additional and removable magnetic aerodynamic tail which can be added to the Air Director as its extension. Made in accordance with the requirements of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics
(NACA), the new shape of Wing57 TM does very well in avoiding the natural wind aligning energy cost of the shape itself due to crosswinds. With the length of the tail reduced and material added on top, the center pressure has been moved forward in order to best match the user’s center of gravity. This allows for better weight balance while steering clear of forced axis rotation. For significant added ventilation, Wing57 TM has the Vortex Killer or Air Straightener System. This system creates a high/low pressure area on each side, so that air coming from the right vent goes to the opposite side then flows out, and vice versa.
