FOREWORD

BAHRAIN AND SPORTS INFLUENCING THE GCC AND THE WORLD

Sports can be a powerful tool to promote the holistic growth and development of the youth of a nation. In Bahrain, under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad, we are dedicated to provide all sorts of opportunities for our young people as far as sports is concerned. I strongly believe that an efficient physical education programme equips people with vital qualities, such as leadership, perseverance, social and moral character, self-esteem, commitment to teamwork, and problem-solving and organisational abilities. In today’s most challenging environment, such skills can only help individuals to succeed in life, and that brings prosperity to the nation. We are always on the lookout for ways of improving facilities and practices for physical education. One example of this is that I feel we should develop a more holistic physical education policy to be implemented right from the early school stages. Possibilities for implementing such a policy are being explored. Essential life skills are so often the outcome ofan effective physical education. In fact, sports have been proven to actually raise IQ in addition to building confidence and teaching kids about managing emotions, such as self-control. Sports help children to learn hard work, patience, persistence, and how to respond positively to setbacks and failures. Most importantly, sports helps a child to prepare to take on the many challenges that life has to offer and emerge victorious like a champion. Sports is an important part of the culture of the Gulf countries, especially endurance horse riding and show jumping, which have an immense traditional value, although we must not forget there are also other sports and sporting events that boast a rich history for us. I welcome PowerUp’s continued support in all areas of sports. I hope that more and more people will gather together to support local teams and sporting initiaves in their communities; educating the youth on the benefits of healthy living and a healthy lifestyle. PowerUp is a good source of information to get you started.

SPORTS NEWS “ Celebrate successes but never stop at such accomplishments ” by HE Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum

“We’re ready to change her mind and that’s why I invite Meryl Streep to attend one our events ”

In 2016, sport around the globe had its usual share of stories and events that made people joust and jab at each other to watch their favorite sport which they found most enjoyable. This year, sport enthusiasts must watch out as the Middle East is entering a golden age of growth in its sporting endeavours. Increasingly, we are seeing the GCC play host to major global events and setting standards in significant aspects of sports event management. Let’s now look forward to what’s in store for the sport fans this 2017.

ETHIOPIAN RUNNERS SWEEP DUBAI MARATHON

Ethiopian compatriot Tamirat Tola made sure there was still something to cheer for the Dubai Marathon organisers as he triumphed in a new course record. Bekele, the 5,000ckm and 10,000ckm world record holder, was tripped from behind at the start and eventually limped out of the race around the 25km mark with a bleeding elbow. Tola, the 10,000cm bronze medal winner at the Rio Olympics, was in the leading pack at the time, but shifted gears soon after. Mule Wasihun was a distant second, finishing two minutes and

36 seconds, while Sisay Lemma, the Vienna City and Frankfurt Marathon winner in 2015, came in third to complete an Ethiopian cleansweep of the podium.

BRAVE PRESIDENT LAMENTS MERYL STREEP ANTI-MMA SPEECH; INVITES HOLLYWOOD STAR TO AN EVENT

“ “I’m doing it to prove that at 105 years old, you can still ride a bike.”” by Marchand

POWERUP | FEBRUARY 2017

Streep directly attacked the president-elected of the United States Donald Trump and used the MMA as a negative example to do it. During an interview with the Bahraini media, Brave Combat Federation president Mohammed Shahid was questioned about Meryl’s speech and dropped a very surprisingly invitation. “We all at Brave Combat Federation are huge fans of Meryl Streep’s work and consider her one of the greatest actresses of all time”, Shahid said. “That’s why we felt really sorry about her words towards the sport we love, support, and work for. But the truth is: we’re ready to change her mind and that’s why I invite Maryl Streep to attend one our events”.

SPORTS EVENT TO TIP OFF AT DOHAT ARAD The first day of this multi-training programme event, which tips off at 4pm at Dohat Arad in Muharraq walkway, is part of the BOC annual plan to hold a string of sporting and social activities for the public. It’s also in line with the directives of Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, representative of His Majesty the King for Charity Works and Youth Affairs, Supreme Council for Youth and Sports Chairman, and committee President, in an attempt to involve all segments of the Bahrain society in various sports activities. Al Rumaihi extended her appreciation to all the partners, ministries, governorates and coaches for their efforts in bringing this first-of-its-kind gathering to Bahrain.

EMIRATI QUALIFIES FOR WORLD EQUESTRIAN GAMES

SHAIKH KHALID’S PASSION FOR MMA GOES VIRAL AND TRENDS WORLDWIDE Initiatives of the His Highness for the sport have been highlighted for the international community and take Bahrain’s name around the globe While KHK MMA and its sub-brands, such as the first ever Bahraini professional promotion Brave Combat Federation, Shaikh Khalid’s story spreads rapidly and every new step draw the attention of the international media. While it has captivated the attention of specialized media around the world, KHK MMA has been considered one of the biggest cultural shifts in the story of the Kingdom of Bahrain. Today, present in four different continents and with a massive number of followers, KHK and Brave have been proudly carrying Bahrain flag around the globe.

Abdullah Al Marri looked to take the positives from an impressive performance at the CSI 4 Star Grand Prix after a mistake at the final fence ended his hopes of winning the event. The grand prix had been part of the inaugural Al Shira’aa International Horse Show at Al Forsan International Sports Resort, and going to the final fence of the course the Emirati, competing on Sama Dubai, had been perfect over the obstacles, while holding the best timing. Al Marri completed the course in 50.04 but the four penalty points dropped him down the final standings. The result was enough to earn him a spot at next year’s World Equestrian Games in Tryon, North Carolina, in the United States. “It happens in this sport. You never know what to expect at the next fence,” Al Marri said when asked what was going through his mind as he approached the finish. “We missed on an opportunity tonight but I’m quite satisfied with the result and the performance of my mare. We have a few more big events in Dubai and the President’s Cup in Al Ain, and aim to win some of those prizes.”

EMIRATI JIU-JITSU STARS STRIKE GOLD

AL KETBI DELIGHTED WITH HIS WIN IN ABU DHABI NO-GI COMPETITION Faisal Al Ketbi and Yahya Mansour Al Hammadi, the Emirati aces in jiu-jitsu, both struck gold in the opening day’s No-Gi competition in the iGrand Slam Abu Dhabi on Friday at the IPIC Arena. Al Ketbi overcame Brazilian Marcos Costa in the black belt 83-kilogramme weight and Al Hammadi got the better of Tyler Edworthy in the brown belt 108kg Masters-1. “It was a tactical fight as my opponent went for guard from the onset,” said Al Ketbi who won the final on the judges’ verdict for a more attacking approach and moves, after a scoreless deadlock.

INTERESTING FACTS Dubai is a glamourous metropolis and the host of the star-studded IRONMAN 70.3 this January 2017. Being one of the well-known sporting events in the world, IRONMAN has some fascinating facts you may want to know:

THE COMPETITION WAS FORMED FROM ‘THE THREE TOUGHEST RACES’ THERE IS

The IRONMAN originated on a night back in 1978. John Collins, a naval officer who was stationed out in Hawaii with his wife Judy, began playing around with the idea of combining three of the toughest races that were held out on the island. The pair came up with the idea for the IRONMAN triathlon, and issued the challenge to the toughest runners, cyclists and swimmers they knew. The ultimate winner is called the “IRONMAN”.

A TYPICAL TRAINING WEEK IS INTENSE

IRONMAN triathlon participants train hard. An athlete will be preparing for an average of seven months in order to race. Tough stuff.

ONLY 12 PEOPLE COMPLETED THE FIRST IRONMAN RACE

Out of the 15 that participated, only 12 people completed. In front of them was Gordon Haller. He completed the IRONMAN in 11 hours, 46 minutes and 58 seconds.

JUST FINISHING THE EVENT IS A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT

Even making it all the way to the finish line is already an accomplishment. But be warned: along the way are many intermediate checkpoints which you need to reach within a certain amount of time, otherwise you risk being taken off the course by an official.

DUBAI IS A TRYST OF TRIATHLON STARS

You may stumble across one of the many celebrities who love to spend their holidays in the luxury resorts and hotels of Dubai but you will definitely stumble across some of triathlon’s most popular athletes as A-list pros: IRONMAN World Champions Daniela Ryf and Jan Frodeno gather in Dubai to compete for this prestigious victory.

LIVING THE TRI LIFE It’s that time of the year again. It’s a new year and for the most part that also means time for a new you. What is the best way to get there? Getting fit of course.

TIPS FROM DANIELA RYF ON HOW TO GET FIT THIS 2017

n case you are one of the new year, new me people and are planning on starting a fitness routine don’t stress, we got you! We had a quick chat with triathlete and Ironman Champion Daniela Ryf on what the best way to start is and how to truly get fit in the New Year

Be prepared for the first step to always be the hardest

To adopt fitness as a habit you have to change or even eradicate other habits completely and that can be hard. Once you start you have to repeat and do so until exercise becomes as natural to you as that slice of pizza. And while that slice of pizza is amazing it would taste so much better post a good work out session. You can start small by maybe signing up for a class once or twice a week with friends. This motivates you to work out in two very unique ways; firstly keeping in mind how busy you are in this day and age you aren’t overwhelmed by having to set aside time every day to work out and secondly by going with friends it also makes it a social commitment which is also a great incentive. According to Daniela the post work out feeling is one of the best as it is a ‘good’ kind of tired where you know you’ve earned the rest you are getting right now and this feeling can be extremely gratifying.

Diet

Coming to a part of the routine that is just as important

POWERUP | FEBRUARY 2017

as exercise which is the diet, you will be happy to know getting fit doesn’t mean eating only salads every day in every meal. Daniela’s advice with regard to a diet is to prioritise what you eat and when you eat. You have to do either of two things;

Give something back to your body with good amounts of rest or a massage at least a couple times in a month to reduce the stress that your body is enduring. either eat whatever you like all day but cut down and go light at night time or to work out or train before breakfast. Doing any one of these is a big step in the

right direction,you’re basically teaching your body to burn the last part of fat that is stored in your muscles. You also end up sleeping better if you eat lesser carbs in the evening as compared to protein or vegetables. Daniela also recommends using Red Bull as a tool to make your work outs easier. Sometimes when it comes to a work out you may not just be physically tired but also mentally drained due to the various things you’ve dealt with during the day and this is where a Red Bull comes in. According to Daniela the drink activates your brain by making it aware that you are going to go hard now and it gives you the energy boost you need to power through a work out. One last keypiece of advice from Daniela is – Remember to never overwork your body by starving yourself or going too hard with exercise. While the motivation to get fit can be strong you have to remember that you are asking a lot of your body already as you is cultivating a new habit. Give something back to your body with good amounts of rest or a massage at least a couple times in a month to reduce the stress that your body is enduring. Keep the above in mind and you should be good to go! Happy 2017 and may the force be with you!

Triathletes will be running an exotic race in a desert paradise. Dubai recently completed a running trail along Jumeirah Beach to be used by the public all year round. The IRONMAN 70.3 Dubai run route will cover three laps (seven km each) along a spectator-friendly, packed beach. The crowd will cheer participants through the 21.1 run before they finish next to the start and transition at the general grand stand. POWERUP | FEBRUARY 2017

T R I AT H L O N

CRUSHING IRONMAN WITH ROLLING SWIM START Due to overwhelming support for the IRONMAN Rolling Swim Start, IRONMAN 70.3 DUBAI will utilize a rolling start format for the 2017 race. This swim format has been successful at many IRONMAN events across the globe and it will further enhance the athlete’s experience

TIPS FOR A SMART ROLLING SWIMSTART

PREPARE FOR RACE CONDITIONS Race day should not be your first open water swim. Make sure some of your training replicates real race conditions.

RACE IN SHORTER EVENTS

PLEASE BE HONE TO YOUR ST S AND LINE ELF ACCORD UP YOUR RE ING TO EXPECTE ALISTIC D SWIM TIME!

WHAT EXACTLY IS A ROLLING SWIM START?

It is part of the IRONMAN Global Swim Smart initiative aimed at increasing safety and reducing anxiety in the swim. It allows athletes to swim at their own ability and improves the overall swim experience It leads to faster swim times It defuses the drafting problem on the bike course

POWERUP | FEBRUARY 2017

LEARN ABOUT COURSE DETAILS Thoroughly review the race website and pre-race communication to familiarize yourself with the course.

ENSURE HEART HEALTH As an athlete in training, you should take the proper steps to assess your health with your physician.

Athletes will line up according to their realistic, predicted swim time (self-seeding) and every five seconds, we will send out ten athletes. It will take approximately 20 minutes to get the entire field across the swim start line.In effect, this will create a “time trial” dynamic for the race and for the determination of the final results.

WHY CHANGE TO A ROLLING START?

If possible, race in shorter events and clinics to prepare yourself for open water conditions.

DON’T USE NEW GEAR ON RACE DAY You should never race in equipment you haven’t trained in – this is not the time to test new gear.

WARM UP ON RACE DAY

DO MODERATE SWIMMERS HAVE ANY ADVANTAGE BY STARTING IN THE FRONT PART OF THE FIELD?

No, it is quite the contrary. If a moderate swimmer starts in the front part of the field, she/he will be passed by hundreds of fast swimmers which poses a needless risk for all involved parties. The cut-offs stay the same (1h 10m swim, 5:30 swim/bike, 8hr swim/bike/run) and all athletes with a finishing time of more than 8 hours do not appear in the results list.

Arrive early enough on race day for a proper warm-up prior to the start, preferably in the water.

START EASY – RELAX AND BREATHE Don’t race at maximum effort from the start. Relax and focus on proper breathing techniques

SWIMSMART TOP 10 CHECKLIST An open-water swim in a triathlon is substantially different from swimming in a pool. To alleviate stress, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that you arrive on race day healthy, fit and prepared.

T R I AT H L O N INTERVIEW

PARAOLYMPIAN ATHLETE

MOHAMED LAHNA INSPIRES US ALL The world is celebrating a new generation of sporting heroes. The Paralympics is now considered a powerful tool to help drive change and wider social inclusion. The incredible reaction to the athletes around the world has a profound impact which is felt in a generation’s time.

or many paratriathletes, overcoming obstacles and challenges was, and is to this day, an overwhelming reality. It takes a great deal of effort to physically understand having to adjust when it comes to learning how to compete in sport. People will tell you “NO” and society will say “you shouldn’t”. But one triathlete looked beyond his Paralympic appearance. His stories of perseverance are stories of strength and triumph which will bring us hope and a ray of positivity in life which sometimes seem insurmountable. In Casablanca, Mohamed Lahna was born without a right femur. However, this has never stopped him playing the sport he loved. He used to play soccer just like anybody else in his neighborhood. Since then, he already had the dreams that someday, he will be representing his country in the Olympics. This journey did not come easy and he had his fair share of difficulties. “Triathlon itself is already a hardwork.” says Lahna. “We had to use equipment in the race and we had to learn and understand a lot regarding on how to take on the competition.” He was the first to start the triathlon in Morocco in which he had to go outside the country

POWERUP | FEBRUARY 2017

“It’s a lifestyle for everybody because once you do sport, you don’t care about disability anymore.” Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’M POSSIBLE

to know the sport because of limited accessibility for equipments and information. He started off as a strong swimmer, having conquered the most impressive feat of swimming across the Strait of Gibraltar. He ran across the Sahara desert during the Marathon des Sables. His love has grown the sport of Triathlon and did his first competition in 2008. He is the Rio 2016 Paralympics paratriathlon Bronze medalist, IRONMAN and 1st AK amputee to finish MDS. For Mohamed Lahna, Triathlon for people with disability has no limit and the only limit will be the person himself. He loved the unexpected side of it as it is done outdoors. He finds it beautiful to be able to battle many elements such as the wind and rain. Thanks to His Highness Sheikh Nasser Bin Hamad Al Khalifa for inviting him to come to the Kingdom of Bahrain. “He introduced a lot of sporting activities here including the

IRONMAN and I have him to thank for” says Lahna. “It’s a lifestyle for everybody because once you do sport, you don’t care about disability anymore. This has been a very important integration in our society because not only does it create a healthy body but a healthy mind as well.” he added. He believed that showing the people of Bahrain this inspiration will allow them to embrace life more as it opens a lot of doors for them in the future. Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out for our courage and strength. His mission is to grow the sport of triathlon in the Arab nations. He has had the pleasure of speaking to many wonderful organizations and schools about his experiences and he loved every second of it. He is always happy to share his experiences and how his unique upbringing and passion for sports has changed his perspective in life.

“Hard things are put in our way, not to stop us, but to call out for our courage and strength.”

THANK YOU

THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! n behalf of IRONMAN 70.3 Dubai, we would like to personally thank you for committing making this event a huge success. Thank you for selflessly devoting your time and efforts to make this flagship race the best in the region. We are grateful for all your contributions. Many thanks to all the IRONMAN Dubai team as well as the marshals, volunteers and competitors that make IRONMAN 70.3 DUBAI such an amazing event and for making it as one of the most highly anticipated sports events of the year. Kudos to all the people who signed up to volunteer, we know it takes a lot of long days, nights and weekends to put on each and every race. Thank you to the race promoters, you did such a wonderful job. Hands down to the volunteers at the aide stations, we would have not had such a successful race if it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for these countless volunteers. IRONMAN 70.3 Dubaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s volunteers are the driving force behind the success of the event. Without their efforts, the support offered to staff, service delivered to the athletes, and the care taken with the spectators, this would not be possible!

Thank you!

TRIATHLETES AREN’T BORN, THEY’RE MADE Usain Bolt’s speed, Michael Phelps’ dominance, Serena Williams’ court savvy. We are all curious on what drives these athletes to rise above and push the limits of human ability to achieve what no one before them has ever accomplished. We sat down with an IRONMAN champion as we get a glimpse of the person behind the sports gear.

avid Plese is a Pro IRONMAN and a Triathlete champion. He is a member of the Bahrain Endurance 13 team. He participated in IRONMAN 70.3 Middle East Championship in Bahrain. We sat down with IRONMAN World Champion and we were able to get a glimpse of the person behind the sports gear. David Plese was 21 when he first did a triathlon, inspired by watching the 2004 Athens Olympics. Within two years he was racing for Slovenia on the ITU circuit. With only four years of swimming training, he became the 1500 m national swimming champion. David has focused on long-distance triathlon in the last few years and competed in his first Ironman World Championship in 2013. He moved to Bahrain about three years ago when H.H. Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa saw him compete and win the race in Dubai. The prince then invited him to come to Bahrain to see the island and maybe consider living in the country. “I came here during winter and I immediately loved the island. The weather was so nice that it was a great escape from the cold in Slovenia.” says David. It didn’t take long for David to adjust in the Island. Bahrain has great places wherein he could train every day. He can live in a serene island and

at the same time, stay on the top of his game. “What I really love about Bahrain is that even though it is a small island, I keep discovering new experiences

“I was pleasantly surprised with how warm and friendly the people are and have been ever since I’ve moved here.” and opportunities here. Just the other day I visited the Golf club for the first time and I absolutely loved it. I was very pleasantly surprised with how warm and friendly the people are and have been ever since I’ve moved here,” David added. He thought that communication would be a barrier at first but he realized that everybody in Bahrain speaks his language which made

it easier for him. He already made good friends in which he considers to be a part of his growth as an athlete. He was in Bahrain for the representation of Team Bahrain Merida - the new cycling team in Bahrain. Talking about his training for IRONMAN in Bahrain, David was very excited and hopeful of placing well in the race, “I am very happy that I can still push my body and I’m currently injury free which is always ideal. Bahrain has given me so much and that is why the local race is so important. It is my way of giving back to this beautiful country and community.” says David. He is aiming to get good results and will ensure that he showcases Bahrain Endurance 13 in the best way possible way around the world. David constantly tests his capabilities, as he believes that this is the only way to make progress. At his work, he aims for perfection, awareness and discipline. Congratulations David for placing fifth in the IRONMAN race in Bahrain and to have ended this season on a high note.

ahrain is a country yet to be recognised around the world in the world of sporting activities. The goal is for the nation of Bahrain to be in the limelight and hopefully to encourage the local community through sports to live a healthier lifestyle. BAHRAIN MERIDA Cycling Team is participating, in what has been considered as the largest promotional campaign to build awareness in the Kingdom of Bahrain. HH Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa asserted that the team is made up of an elite group of cyclists. The ‘Tour of Dubai’ and the ‘Tour of Oman’ and the Tour of AbuDhabi are meant to introduce the world of road racing to the Gulf region and have set a clear precedent that cycling is a sport for the masses. Here is the overview on what to expect during these momentous events.

“Crashing is part of cycling as crying is part of love.” Johan Museeuw, Belgian Cyclist

TOUR OF DUBAI

The Dubai Tour began in 2014 with Taylor Phinney taking home the first title. The 2017 tour will feature 16 teams including 10 WorldTour squads, four Pro Continental and one Continental team and a national team, with each taking eight riders. From the WorldTour, Astana, Bahrain-Merida, Dimension Data, Movistar, Quick-Step Floors, LottoNL-Jumbo, Team Sky, UAE Abu Dhabi (formerly Lampre-Merida), Trek-Segafredo, BMC Racing. Earlier this month, they announced the route for the 2017 edition. The race will take place on January 31 to February 4. The organisers have announced the route for the 2017 edition, which will be one day longer than the previous races. The race is in its fourth year in 2017, and has favoured the sprinters, thanks to its largely flat courses. The main obstacle, a short, sharp climb to Hatta Dam, returns on the penultimate stage. “The 2017 Dubai Tour will be a very special edition because of the new additional competition day,” said H.E. Saeed Hareb, Dubai Sports Council’s General Secretary. “The extra stage allows us to better explore the surrounding territories. Lengthening the riders’ stay in Dubai keeps the media and fans’ interest in the event alive for longer. These are keys to our strategy and the sponsors are rewarding this vision. I take this opportunity to thank all of them, along with all the governmental authorities that allow us to perform the Dubai Tour show again”.

TOUR OF OMAN

The Organisers of the Tours of Oman say the future of the races “looks bright” for 2017 and beyond. Since 2002, Belgians Eddy Merckx and Dirk De Pauw have been organising the Tour of Qatar then Oman came into the picture in 2010. The Tour of Oman has celebrated victories by Sky’s Chris Froome twice over the years, and now threetime grand tour winner Nibali has a victory there as well. De Pauw told Velo News that he and Merckx have planned changes for 2017 to bring more people to the race, with visits to more of Oman’s natural treasures on the docket as well. Unlike Qatar, the Dubai Tour, and the Abu Dhabi Tour, the Tour of Oman covers rugged mountains in the country’s north, near the capital city of Muscat. The race is expected to be renewed for five years, from 2017 to 2021. Its sister race in Qatar, which includes a women’s event, should reach beyond 2016 too. Merckx told VeloNews the positive signal came when Sheikh Khalid Bin Ali Al Thani, Qatar’s national federation president, asked the UCI for a WorldTour promotion for 2017. The UCI is expected to include some European races like Strade Bianche and races further abroad in the Middle East in the 2017 WorldTour. Currently, the series includes 27 races, among them all three grand tours as well as cycling’s biggest one-day events.

TOUR OF ABU DHABI

The Abu Dhabi Tour which is the professional cycling race run through stages across the emirate has been included in the 2017 WorldTour Calendar of the international cycling union, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The third edition of the Abu Dhabi event now joins the WorldTour which takes place 23-26 February 2017. The race was part of the Asia Tour in the first two years of its existence yet, the 2017 edition of the Abu Dhabi Tour is on the UCI World Tour calendar. The race features three flat stages and one mountain stage leading to a summit finish at Jebel Hafeet. The peak lies at an elevation of 1,025 metres. The 1st edition, held in 2015, was won by Esteban Chaves, while Tanel Kangert took 2nd edition of the Abu Dhabi Tour.

MY JOURNEY TO THE IRONMAN

4AM COFFEE

RELAX ON THE SWIM, BE PATIENT ON THE BIKE, AND ROCK THE RUN Athletes train and compete for many reasons – the sheer love of competition, the satisfaction of achieving a personal best, or the feeling of pushing their bodies to the limits of their minds. Shk Saqer shares his journey for he believes that YES, WE ALL CAN.

t was one heck of a race, the IRONMAN 70.3 Middle East Championship Bahrain. I really enjoyed it, and guess what, I got my own personal record! How did I do it? Let me share some of the few simple things I did that may help you during your next IRONMAN 70.3. #Dubai. After having failed so many times, in Singapore, Thailand, Berlin, South Africa, and so on, I started noticing the trend. Yes, we all know that the finish line is after the run, but every time we have settled everything in mind, we would tend changing our plans during the race. We usually would waste our time on the bike and forget that there is a long run coming up. In IRONMAN Florida, when I was flying on the bike at about 40-50 kilometers, I passed by a friend, Ahmed AlHaj, who was a much faster cyclist than I am. I noticed that this was not his usual pace. I wondered and asked if he was feeling alright. He answered

POWERUP | FEBRUARY 2017

with a yes, but he told me that he purposely was going slowly in preparation for a full marathon to run soon. It was a brief conversation but it dawned on me, his approach may be right! During the Ironman Bahrain, I strategized by trying to ignore the swim, two minutes up or down was not worth investing hours in the pool. All I had to do was make sure I could swim the distance. My focus was solely on bike-run. Every time I’d get on the bike for training, I’d make sure that I’d hurt my legs as much as possible because I wanted to run with tired legs early the next day. I didn’t change my run speed and my speed work. I just tried to increase my weekly miles as much as I could. But because I didn’t have time to do the 15km runs, I did 5 in the morning, 10 at night, then 5 the next morning, and 10 the next night as well. I tried to run through in 30km in 48 hours. I needed to do 90km easy bike and then a steady 21km run. Let’s not forget an important discipline, NUTRITION. In Triathlon

nutrition, you will find that you need at least 5 years of university labor just to understand the physical chemistry behind it. But I have come up with a nutrition plan that will take you 5 minutes to understand: The race is all about the energy you have BEFORE starting it. In a 70.3, all you need to do is make sure that you are set to run a half marathon. Bahrain has a perfect cold weather, so while you did not sweat a lot, why do you need to drink so much water? Yes, you did train during the summer, but all the extra water you took during the bike was unnecessary weight in your run. Focus on running as light as possible and concentrate on reaching the run leg without losing so much energy and fatigue during the swim-bike segments. Before I conclude this article, I want to share with you the meal plan I had on race day. Here are the essentials I took to attain 5 hours and 17 minutes. (My lucky number is 517, coincidence? ) Never say NEVER!

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

BRAVECOMBAT FEDERATION THE GLOBAL EXPANSION

The first middle-eastern based global mixed martial arts promotion has managed to grasp the attention of the biggest stakeholders in slightly less than a year of operation.

“We’re working with some of the top camps in the world in trying to find the upand-coming new talent that will be the future of the sport. There are a lot of great fighters from that region and we’re always looking for the next best thing.

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

rave Combat Federation, the latest true rival in the MMA world, says it plans to capitalize on the increasing popularity of the sport and take the company to the next level with the start of the new year (2017). The organization, which is owned by KHK MMA Company, was established in 2016 focusing its initial events on bringing the world to Bahrain. However, this year we will see the promotion landing in North America and invading the middle-east with intent to conquer! The year “2016” was a phenomenal debut for Brave Combat Federation, said Brave President Mohamed Shahid. The promotion delivered worldclass martial arts action to the iconic Kingdom Of Bahrain, and streamed the events live on bravefights.com in addition to major sports TV networks throughout Asia, Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Their growth and success looks set to continue and flourish this year (2017) as big plans have been revealed and currently being implemented. This March, Brave Combat Federation will be breaking new ground in Curitiba, Brazil. This will be the promotions first international show opening up to an exciting year of regional and global MMA for the BRAVE! This is truly an exceptional move for such a young promotion to reach a far land, a land that bred some of the most legendary fighters to walk on this earth. The stakes are huge for everyone involved in this operation. Fighters on Brave 3 fight card will be delighted as this move marks a shift in their career. The promotion (Brave Combat Federation) made its first play for the Brazilian market by signing 20-yearold featherweight Alex Da Silva (Leko). The undefeated Brazilian product, brought his undefeated record (17-0) to Bahrain and kept it clean with a win at Brave 2 “Dynasty”. With 18 professional fights and an event happening on his home soil, it is only logical to have this fighter on the card. Brave continued their push to expand their international roster as they announced earlier this month the signing of British MMA veteran Charlie Leary (13-7).

No fights have been officially announced yet, but middle-eastern fighters who competed in the first two installments will surely be given a task in Brazil. This is part of taking the Middle East to the World and showcasing what the mother land has bred. Brave has also been linked to a potential title fight soon, since an inaugural featherweight championship bout was scheduled to take place in December, 2016 but

“I believe this year (2017) will mark the beginning of a long and fruitful journey to bring Brave Combat Federation to the rest of the world,” Mohamed Shahid Brave CF President

had to be postponed due to an injury of Alan Omer, and subsequently his opponent Masio Fullen. Whichever fighters who will fight for the title, though, one of them will go home with a marvelous prestigious belt and a historical tale to tell his children. Dubbed as the region’s finest mixed martial arts promotion, Brave will also tour the Middle East with at least five events spreading throughout the year. The future looks bright for MMA in the Middle East with major countries in the region already in talks to host and welcome an new edition of Brave. After having two shows in Bahrain, the promotion has

announced that their upcoming show in the region will take place in the United Arab Emirates. Known for its huge expat population and Abu Dhabi being called the Capital of Jiu-jitsu, the event is expected to attract fans from all over the Emirates and surrounding countries. Fighters such as Mohammed Fakhreddine, Jarrah Alselawi, Abdulkareem Alselwady, Ahmed Amir, Elias Boudgezdame (ArabsMMA Submission Of The Year Awards winner) and other elites which made big noise in Brave will surely take part of the regional events. These fighter took the opportunity given to them and proved the legitimacy of MMA level present in the Arab World. Having fought opponents from the highest calibers, it is safe to say, bring anyone and they will put on a respectable show for the fans. “I believe this year (2017) will mark the beginning of a long and fruitful journey to bring Brave Combat Federation to the rest of the world,” Brave CF President Mohamed Shahid said. We have the confidence and belief in the value that Brave can bring to the MMA scene. With the expertise, resources and contacts we have built, it’s only a matter of time and hard work. This expansion will unlock additional markets and opportunities for Brave Combat Federation.” BRAVE PRESIDENT MOHAMMED SHAHID Shahid added that Brave intends to increase the Middle Eastern and Asian presence on its roster: “We’re working with some of the top camps in the world in trying to find the up-and-coming new talent that will be the future of the sport. There are a lot of great fighters from that region and we’re always looking for the next best thing. With such an influential figure such as H.H. Shaikh Khalid and an aggressive business man like Shahid, its only a matter of time before this product reaches its peak. Those men are going where there is not path with the pure intention to leave a trail. One thing is for sure, MMA fans all over the glove are in for a special treat as the global expansion of Brave Combat Federation accelerates with one direction, forward!

HUNTING WITH THE BIRDS OF PREY Considered as the sports of Kings, Falconry is embedded in the culture of the Arab World and has been a tradition for centuries. Hunting with a Falcon is a fascinating sport to watch. The sport plays on a bird of prey’s innate skills and abilities; flying overhead until it spots a target, then diving down and attacking its prey with its talons.

hese days the sport has been subjected to shifting popularity and restrictions, but the deep relationship between falconers and their birds remains extremely strong. It is because falcons have been an indispensable hunting tool for Bedouin for hundreds of years that they are considered as a family member. This necessity of survival in the desert created a strong bond of trust forged between the falconer and his bird. In the sport, falcons take off from their master’s arms to chase and attack their prey. The hunter will then follow, by camel or car, to collect the prey and reward the falcon with a bit of meat. Although hunters no longer depend on hunting with falcons to survive, modern hunters are willing to go to extreme lengths to keep the tradition alive. Middle Eastern countries still continues to practice the heritage.

Falconry in Bahrain Falcon hunting has become an annual event in Bahrain, as directed by HM King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa to revive and maintain the traditional sports, focusing on bolstering Bahrain’s authentic and genuine heritage and values. Last month, the third Bahrain Falcon and Hunting Tournament commenced in Al Sabkha area near the Bahrain International Endurance Village inaugurated by HH Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa and will continue until February 18, 2017. It include different categories for falcons, a traditional one kilometre Arabian horse race, and Saluki dogs hunting contest for one kilometre. This year 402 falcons owned by Bahrainis are taking part in the event, as compared to 300 falcons featured in last year’s competition according to Khalifa Al Quood, head of The Supreme Organising

Committee of the event. He stated that this is a testament to the growing interest in this sport amongst Bahraini people.

Falconry in Dubai Hunting expeditions provided the ideal setting for tribal sheikhs in the UAE to tour their area and connect with the people. The late HH Sheikh Zayed, founding father of the UAE, often spoke of the satisfaction he gets from being part of a hunting party. In Dubai, the locals continue to relive this tradition and share it with others who are visiting their country. There are several places in Dubai that offers visitors an opportunity to experience falconry and learn how these majestic birds played a significant part in Bedouin life. Make sure you get to experience it while you’re in Dubai. For falcon experience visit: www.royalshaheen.ae www.platinum-heritage.com

NUTRITION

In endurance sports, proper nutrition is essential. It can extremely affect the level of performance of athletes during the race day. Your result and success depends on how you take care of what you eat. Here are some rules to get you on track.

Lean protein with essential amino acids is the ultimate recovery food for athletes but has to be consumed within 45 minutes of exercise. It repairs microscopic damage to your muscle tissue caused by working out. So depending on when you train, incorporate lean chicken, fish, nuts, and beans into a post-workout meal, or have a tall glass of low-fat chocolate milk as a snack. Its mix of protein and carbs is perfect for rapid recovery.

Sometimes you get busy with your training that you skip meals or you try to keep your weight in check andfruits is the first thing to slip out of your diet. It is recommended to eat two to three fruits and four to six veggies per day to optimize your weight and nutrient intake.

POWERUP | FEBRUARY 2017

For many athletes, pre-competition hydration routines tend to be oriented around one main goal, avoiding dehydration. It is essential to have good pre-competition hydration routine which would deliver you to the starting of your race optimally hydrated. Ensure that your body fluid levels are at the top end of normal but bear in mind that taking in too much fluid to try to achieve this can lead to the depletion of sodium levels in the blood. Combine water and sports drink during your workout to spice up your routine for a variation, so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more likely to stay properly hydrated.

Your pre-race breakfast is just as important. It helps restock the liver glycogen (stored energy) that got depleted overnight. A good balance of protein, carbs, and fat is recommended to keep you full the longest. Your morning meal provides fuel for your brain, helping to sustain motivation and concentration during a long race. Wilson advice quinoa packs twice as much as protein as normal cereal, and as an added bonus, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gluten-free.

Sometimes, all we need is a fresh start

FITNESS

With each year comes the opportunity for a fresh start. For most, this means leading a healthier lifestyle with almost everyone looking for a new fitness program. We go along with the ritual of making resolutions but staying active with it becomes difficult with jobs, families and school so then just months or even weeks later, we break the promises weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made to ourselves. This time it will be different for you! It can be difficult to keep up the enthusiasm but nothing is impossible. This 2017 will be the year you will achieve your fitness goal:

Millions of people make resolutions that never make it past March 1st because their goals sound great at the time but are completely unrealistic. Before setting a goal, ask yourself first if this is something you can do for the rest of your life. If your answer is NO, then stop and reassess as you come up with a more realistic goal.

FIND WHAT MOTIVATES YOU

Just do it. This could be a walk, a jog, sprints, tennis, basketball, yoga, anything. There are a million ways to move your body. Pick one or a variety of things you enjoy doing and slowly increase the demand you place on your body.

POWERUP | FEBRUARY 2017

Whether it is that teeny weeny polka dot bikini or that little black dress, figuring out why we want these things and having that motivation keeps us going. Knowing that there is a light at the end of the tunnel will give you the drive whenever the road gets bumpy.

FITNESS

09 The earlier you work out, the more likely you are to make the right food choices during the day. When you put in some hard work in the gym, you won’t be willing to give it all up for junk foods later in the day. As the day goes on our willpower fades and we are more likely to give into temptation and we don’t want that!

PLAN AHEAD

Try prepping your meals in advance so you aren’t tempted to veer off your optimal diet for the sake of convenience. Preparing your own meals gives you complete control over your food intake and is a much more economical than eating out all the time. Remember, FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL.

Know that each decision you make is either leading you closer to your goals and dreams or pulling you further away. Each choice is a brand new start. It is inevitable to have minor or major setbacks and feel guilty about it. Relax! Move on and come up with a strategy to work around it next time. End of story.

Exercise can take a toll on our bodies, especially if you have not been doing it regularly. To optimize your workouts and recovery time, invest in great-fitting shoes.

08 DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR RESOLUTIONS

This does not mean that you have to weigh yourself often because these things only make you anxious and discourages you from achieving your goals. Pick an interval period like once-a-month to weigh in, while keeping a daily journal of the food you’ve eaten. What is more important is that you feel good about yourself!

The worst thing you can do is give up. Don’t worry about the occasional slip-up. Tomorrow’s another day. Hold yourself accountable because in the end, you are the one who has to reach your goals. Make fitness your lifestyle and a part of who you are. Being respectful of your body brings greater self-confidence. We owe it to ourselves to protect and nourish our bodies.

Sounds erratic? Nope, you heard it right. Getting out of bed when it’s cold outside isn’t easy, so on days of training especially this winter season, try sleeping in your gym clothes. Wake up, lace up, and you’re out the door, you won’t even have time to make excuses on not to go on with it.It’s totally doable. POWERUP | FEBRUARY 2017

In almost every sport, music can be a rather powerful motivation to run or cycle that extra mile but never to swim that extra lap, until now. This app is secured onto the user’s eyewear, in this case, swimming goggles. This device uses bone conduction audio to relay music to the user’s ears, without the need for ear buds. It comes with a built-in 4GB of storage space, a rechargeable battery that lasts 8 hours and an OLED screen with music controls.

A smart sports bra with a detachable tech-device that tracks running metrics such as distance, cadence, pace, calories and heart rate. It comes with a sensor that calculates your breathing frequency, depth and balance. This breath-tracking feature is kind of a big deal because the bra coaches you to breathe more consistently and rythmically as you work out. The better you breathe, the more energy you conserve (during and after exercise) and, ultimately, the more fit you become. Technology aside, the fabric around the band is supportive but slightly stretchy. It isn’t restrictive around the ribcage which will help you breathe more freely.

It also doubles as awatch and works on coin batteries which can last for months at a time.

Can’t really manage your portions by sheer willpower? HAPIfork is a gadget that can help you reduce your eating pace. The sensors notify you through tiny vibrations when you’re ‘speeding’. It can also track your eating duration, the amount and intervals of ‘fork servings’ per minute. All your data can be tracked with the accompanying app and transferred with a mini USB. The ‘brain’ of the HAPIfork is hidden in the body but can be removed for safe washing.
